Considered one of the greatest fighters in history,six world titles in three weight divisions:record of 107 wins, 6 losses
and 2 draws, with 89 knockouts, and a reputation as one of the best
boxers of all time.He holds records for most successful consecutive defenses of world
titles (27), most title fights (37), most title-fight victories (31),
and he is tied with Joe Louis
for most title defenses won by knockout (21).Also has the longest
undefeated streak in boxing history, 13 years. His record was 89-0-1
going into his first loss. Renowned especially for his devastating left
hook and his ability to take a punch due to his extremly strong chin.
Made his professional debut at age 17.Grew up in an abandoned railroad
car with his five sisters and four brothers. Came from a poor family and
became a boxer for money, he stated: "I saw
my mom working ironing and washing peoples clothes, and I promised her I
would give her a house someday and she would never have that job
again."
