Floyd Mayweather vs. DeMarcus Corley: The night "Pretty Boy" Floyd almost lost his 0

For years, Floyd Mayweather made boxing look effortless. Then came May 22, 2004 — his 140-pound debut against DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley — and round 4 turned into chaos. A massive right hand from Corley wobbled the undefeated superstar and sent him backing up against the ropes on shaky legs, one of the rare moments "Pretty Boy" Floyd looked genuinely hurt. Instead of folding, Mayweather did what the greatest ever do: he adjusted. He weathered the storm, took back control of the fight, and by round 8 was taunting a gassed Corley with the now-legendary line: "Stop crying and fight." He went on to drop Corley in rounds 8 and 10 en route to a wide unanimous decision. It wasn't the cleanest win of Floyd's career, but it might be the most revealing — proof that even the greatest defensive fighter of all time had to survive real adversity to get to 50-0. 😭🥊
