Floyd Mayweather reflects on his 1996 Olympics loss
The last time Floyd Mayweather was on the losing end of a boxing contest was in 1996 at the Atlanta Olympics.
24 Years Ago Today: @FloydMayweather’s last loss. A controversial decision in the semis of the 1996 Olympics to Bulgarian Serafim Todorov.
Mayweather is 50-0 in his pro career, makes nearly $1 billion.

'Money' lost a controversial decision to Serafim Todorov and then went on to win the bronze medal. Although Mayweather believes he was the rightful victor, he wouldn't change the outcome of the fight. The fight motivated the 44-year-old to work harder and since then, he has not lost a single fight.
"The best thing about my career was the bronze medal. Am I happy with receiving the bronze medal and not winning gold? Absolutely. The referee raised my hand because he thought I won... I'm glad that the fight went like it went. It made me work that much harder as a professional, not to feel that same pain again."
