Unbeaten multi-division champions Floyd Mayweather and Andre Ward are the headliners in a spectacular 13-person class that was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2021 on Tuesday.
Mayweather won world titles in five weight classes — super featherweight, lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight — while going 50-0 with 27 knockouts and establishing himself as the greatest boxer of his era.
Ward was 32-0 with 16 knockouts and won titles at super middleweight and light heavyweight.
Also elected in the men’s modern category was former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, who thus joins his older brother, Vitali, in the Hall of Fame.
