Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t own the greatest undefeated record in boxing any longer.

Strawweight world champion Wanheng Menayothin advanced to 51-0, surpassing Mayweather, the self-proclaimed “T.B.E.” (The Best Ever), and his 50-0 record by defeating Pedro Taduran via unanimous decision on Wednesday, as reported by ESPN.

Menayothin (51-0, 18 KOs) won by the scores of 118-108, 117-110 and 115-111. The victory marks his 10th successful title defense since winning the WBC mini-flyweight title back in November 2014. He previously tied Mayweather's mark by scoring a fifth-round TKO against Leroy Estrada in May.
