Floyd Mayweather Should Be 43-3 Not 46-0, Says Oscar De La Hoya, Undefeated Record Means 'Nothing'
Apparently, retired professional boxer Oscar De la Hoya wasn't very pleased with Floyd Mayweather's undefeated record at all. According to the former pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Mayweather's 46-0 record means "nothing."
Mayweather seemed so sure that he was going to snag his 46th victory over Marcos Maidana. True enough, Mayweather gained a unanimous score from the judges in his last fight against the Argentine boxer.
Number 46.... Let's go!

However, there was one person who was umimpressed of Mayweather's undefeated record, and that is, De La Hoya. ABS-CBNnews.com reported De La Hoya's Twitter rant slamming Mayweather's "big-headed and conceited" attitude.
You have to realize that records don't mean anything in today's world. Don't forget juliocesar Chavez was 87-0 before he lost his first

You never ever here Julio Cesar Chavez saying he's the best ever, and he was 87-0 before he lost

De La Hoya said that Mayweather's victory over him, Jose Luis Castillo, and recently, over Maidana, weren't spotless wins. "I watched several fights again and Floyd should be 43-3," De La Hoya said.
Meanwhile, Freddie Roach is in the same boat as De La Hoya's. Mayweather's legacy in the sport of boxing will be "questionable" if he doesn't fight Manny Pacquiao, Otrboxingradio.com reported. "There will be a question mark," Roach said. "Mayweather wants to retire undefeated and there will be that question mark of why didn't he fight Pacquiao," Roach added. Roach said that they did everything they could to make the fight happen.
"He's the one that's so proud of his undefeated record, but he didn't fight the best challenge and that's Pacquiao."
