Wanheng Menayothin holds the best record in boxing at 54-0 outlasting Mayweather

MANILA, Philippines   —   WBC’s 105 world champion since 2014, Thailand’s Wanheng Menayothin (a.k.a. Chayaphon Moonsri), is set to make the 13th defense of his golden & green belt against Filipino challenger WBC # 10 Marco John Rementizo on Saturday, April 25, at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Palm Springs, California. (*This event has since been postponed due to corona virus)

Fight contracts have already been signed, pending final approval of boxing authorities.

The rumble  —  which seems likely to push forward   —   will not only be Menayothin’s first fight in the U.S., away of his native Thailand; but it is also his effort in extending his pro record to a massive 55-0 for the unbeaten world champion.

It means that if the 34-year-old Thai warrior chooses to retire undefeated, his record would stand above Floyd Mayweather’s 50-0 number.

Mayweather’s famous 50-0, is the record Floyd achieved by surpassing boxing’s great Rocky Marciano’s 49-0.

However, in this particular case, the fact that Menayothin would choose to hang up his gloves while on top form dominating challengers just because he wants to break Floyd’s record seems to be highly unlikely.

Only time will tell if Wanheng Menayothin will retire undefeated.

In the meantime, Menayothin (a.k.a. Moonsri) 13th title defense against the far less-experienced, 20-year-old Filipino Marco John Rementizo (12-3, 9 KO’s), does not seem to be much of a scary job for the crafty Thai veteran, one of the planet’s most accomplished and technically sound minimumweight fighters.

The FIlipino Rementizo    —    a lefty who hails from the Filipino City of Golden Friendship, Cagayan de Oro    —  comes from scoring four consecutive knockout wins, including a victory in the Kingdom of Thailand.  That was good enough to get ranked as world’s # 10 by the WBC.

Still, the young Pinoy warrior does not strike fans as much threat to Menayothin’s long and illustrious reign as a dominating WBC minimumweight king.

Yet, in the sweet science anything can happen.

The Menayothin vs Rementizo event will be a production of Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.

Rementizo is promoted by Filipino men of boxing Wowie Adnan and Brico Santig of the Highland Boxing Team; while the fearsome Wanheng Menayothin is handled by veteran Thai promoters Panya Prachakorn and Piyarat Wachirarattanawong of Petchyindee Boxing Promotions.
