Floyd turned pro immediately after the Olympics, rapidly becoming a blue-chip prospect. He was so far superior to his early opposition, that he was moved very quickly. Within 2 years and 17 straight wins, he was matched against longtime 130-pound standout Genaro Hernandez—a fighter who never lost at junior lightweight. The WBC Super Featherweight Champion was no match for Mayweather—retiring after 8 rounds. Floyd was the new champion! Mayweather decimated Corrales, knocking him down 5 times en route to a brutal and landmark 10th-round TKO. Many fancied Corrales going into this fight, but it wasn’t even close. This is when fans began to see Mayweather as a rising superstar. His performance was absolutely magnificent. Two more defenses of his 130-pound title followed before Mayweather set his sights on the lightweight division. Continuing to fight the best in the game, he challenged recognized World Lightweight Champion Jose Luis Castillo. In Mayweather’s only disputed win, he eked by with a unanimous decision that many felt should have gone to Castillo. Mayweather won the rematch more comfortably. Mayweather defended his title two more times, against quality contenders Victoriano Sosa and Phillip Ndou, before moving up in weight once again.
