One of his toughest fights came against fellow American Mosley in 2010, in a huge event billed 'Who R U Picking?', with stakes the highest they could be.
Mayweather had fought 40 times without defeat and had already printed his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all-time irrespective of the result.
But his latest super-fight against Mosley was one of his tougher challenges and so it proved from the opening bell.
His rival started at a relentless pace and decided to try and match the famous output from 'Money' in the opening exchanges.

But in the second round came a ferocious outburst from the welterweight contender, who decided to let his hands go and try to tag Mayweather.
Something which was rarely seen in the career of the great, Mosley started to land punches on the multi-weight champion.
And as the clock ticked down, Mayweather was caught by a booming right hand saw him briefly stunned and unable to use his agile movement.
The favourite decided to clinch and duck out of range of his rival as Mosley was unable to back off and get the distance to capitalise on his good work.

A conversation could be seen ongoing between the pair as the exchanges became rough and scrappy, as Mosley seemingly sensed an opening.
But 'TMT' later revealed when commentating over the footage, that he was refusing to bow down and urged for more from his rival.

He recalled in a later interview, when asked about the hardest he'd been hit: "Shane hit me with a hell of a shot. Okay two shots.
"But even in that particular round, what I said was that I wasn’t ready.
"I said that was a good one, but you got to kill me, wow, so you got to kill me, and then I mean, I’m not gonna lie, a minute, oh my God.”
Mayweather was able to come through the adversity and the bell sounded to signal the conclusion of the stanza.
Despite the concerning spells, he turned things around and dominated large periods until the final bell.
It was a scintillating performance who was on the receiving end of trouble not for the first time, but bounced back to score a unanimous decision win on the judges' scorecards.
The legend seemed invincible against any rival, and his performances in big fights to come seemed to prove that.
He went on to beat Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto and Robert Guerrero before two of the biggest fights of his careers.
Mayweather then fought Canelo Alvarez in 2013 and outboxed the rising star in incredible fashion to move to 45-0.
After back-to-back wins against Marcos Maidana in 2014, Mayweather fought Pacquiao in the biggest event in boxing pay-per-view history.

The event remains the highest revenue-generating and most watched in the modern era, and Mayweather picked up the win by outboxing his rival in a lacklustre affair.
He returned later that year with a win over Andre Berto, before looking for his 50-0 finale in a super-fight against UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
Mayweather beat McGregor in yet another mega-money event where he reached his remarkable 50-0 feat, while securing a payday in the region of $100 million.
He retired from professional competition in 2018 after the win, and cemented his status as arguably the most dominant athlete to have ever graced the squared circle.
Things didn't end there for the successful talent, who has been fighting in exhibition events since hanging his gloves up.
He has fought the likes of Logan Paul, Deji, Aaron Chalmers and John Gotti III since deciding to call it a day.
