Former world champion and one of the best boxers, regardless of weight category, Floyd Mayweather spoke about the problems in modern professional boxing.

"Was Lomachenko, who was given a title shot after 400 fights among amateurs. But he shouldn't have been allowed to fight for the belt in his third or fourth pro fight. When I competed, it took me 17 fights among the pros to reach the title fight. I earned it, no one gave it to me just like that. This is how we dilute boxing. Now everyone is a champion. Each division must have 4 champions. But now there are more than 4 of them. Now there can be 12 champions in each weight category"
