Marcos Maidana retired in 2014 with a record of (35-5).
The Argentine was in memorable fights with Amir Khan, Victor Ortiz and Adrian Broner before he took on the the might of Floyd Mayweather twice.
The pair shared 24 rounds together with Mayweather winning the first bout by Majority decision before taking a cleaner unanimous decision in the rematch.

And speaking to the Ring, Maidana unsurprisingly admitted that Mayweather was the best fighter he came up against.
He said: “Mayweather: Simply the best of his time. Undoubtedly the best I’ve ever faced is Floyd Mayweather. Too smart, slick and also has a tough chin. I put a lot of pressure on him, especially in the first fight, and I guess it was such a close bout. In fact, I thought I had won the fight when the final bell rang. He was never able to do anything in that first encounter and I was the aggressor throughout. The rematch was different since he took the bike. And when Floyd does that there‘s not much you can do to catch him.”
