Floyd Mayweather says he has "nothing left to prove in boxing" after confirming he will now retire following his record-equalling win.
The unbeaten American cemented his legacy with a
49th career victory when he beat Andre Berto in Las
Vegas on Saturday night, a record which matches the
benchmark set by former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano.

defeating Andre Berto in Las Vegas to secure his 49th
consecutive victory
Mayweather, 38, easily outboxed his younger opponent over the 12 rounds to retain his WBC and WBAwelterweight titles with a unanimous decision.
"I've been in the sport of boxing my whole life and they say I'm wrong for saying I'm the best,"
Mayweather said of his career during a lengthy press
conference following his victory over Berto.
"Every champion - [Muhammad] Ali, Sugar Ray
Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Larry Holmes - the list
goes on and on. They opened up the doors and paved
the way for where I am today and I'm appreciative.
"But now the young fighters say, 'We want to be like
Mayweather.' It's not cool to take punishment in the
ring. I'm not perfect but I strived to be a perfectionist."

Mayweather, who previously performed a U-turn when he came back from a 21-month retirement to fight Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in September 2009, was asked if might be tempted to return for a 50th fight.

"My career is over. It's official," he replied. "I'm
financially secure and I'm in good health.
"You've got to know when it's time to hang it up, so I
think it's about time for me to hang it up. I'm close to
40 years old, I've been in this sport 19 years, been
world champion for 18 years, I've broken all records.
"There's nothing left to prove in the sport of boxing."
Floyd Mayweather has retired from boxing after
beating Andre Berto on points to finish with 49 career
wins from 49 fights.
