“It’s kinda weird” – Joe Rogan comments on Floyd Mayweather’s professional record

Joe Rogan was having a conversation with UFC fighters Travis Lutter and Kevin Holland. It was the #101 Joe Rogan Experience MMA show and the trio were discussing boxing.

During the conversation, Holland asked Rogan about Floyd Mayweather being the best boxer of all time. “He’s not the greatest boxer of all time, right ?”.

While responding to the question, Rogan made it clear that indeed Mayweather is the best of all time. Rogan explained the fact that Mayweather has been hit only four times in his long professional career. This proves that he is the greatest defensive boxer of all time. Rogan stated that Mayweather is the fighter who has everybody and has beat them. He went against Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez etc. Rogan totally discounted the fact that Mayweather has the perfect record of 50-0. According to Rogan, after everything he has done, Mayweather is 49 and Conor McGregor.

It’s arguable he is. He’s been hit hard maybe four times his whole f* career. You stop and think about how many fights he’s fought against elite guys. Not just great defence. Like the best defence of all time…you are talking about the guy who’s fought everybody, he fought Canelo, he fought Pacquiao…at the end of the day, the f guy is 50 and 50, well 49 and Conor McGregor. That’s what I say. Yeah because it’s kinda weird,” said Rogan.

For Rogan to comment like this makes a lot of sense as McGregor cannot be considered as an elite boxer on the same level as Mayweather. Even though McGregor has impressive boxing skills and managed to go 10 rounds with Mayweather it’s hard to compare him to a professional boxer. For many fight fans, it was more like an exhibition bout for entertainment rather than a professional boxing match.
