“A True Champion Will Fight Through Anything” – Floyd Mayweather Jr.

by Sports Artist Edgar J. Brown

This powerful quote from Floyd Mayweather Jr. served as the inspiration for my original painting, a tribute to one of the most dominant and disciplined athletes in boxing history. Titled “A True Champion Will Fight Through Anything,” this piece was hand-painted in acrylic on heavyweight canvas, measuring a museum-standard 24″ x 36″ — a fitting size for a fighter whose presence in the ring was larger than life.

As a sports artist, I strive to capture more than just physical likeness. I aim to reflect the mindset, grit, and essence of an athlete. With Floyd Mayweather Jr., I saw not just an undefeated champion — but a strategist, a technician, and a relentless force who overcame personal and professional challenges to remain undefeated in a career that spanned decades.
