He kinda reminds me of Calzaghe. Great defence (When Cal isn't feeling arrogant) so hard to hit and when he does get hit he has this knack of just staying slightly out of range most of the time, of getting caught flush, and when he does get hit it he's got the chin and heart. It's almost as if when he does get hit it just spurs him on more and makes him more determined to win. The only differences are May is Technically by far the better fighter offensively and defensively, while Calzhage is the bigger risk taker. Cal would stand there, get into a scrap, encourage it and thrive on it. May's an amazing boxer but there are plenty of other fighters out there who I prefer watching over may. But he's gone undefeated up until now and he's fought some greats of his generation, even if some of them could be accused of being past their prime, but tbh, what fighter hasn't fought people who were once considered great on their way down?
Call him cocky and call him the bad guy, but the man is a very shrewd business man and more importantly. he's the best at what he does. I mean before the Ortiz fight I used to think he was a prick, but after the way he caught Ortiz slipping, used it to his advantage (within the rules) and laid him out, he went up a lot in my estimation. People bitched and complained about how he finished him off and the circumstances surrounding it, but c'mon now, that shows a man on the ball and on top of his game. one of the most calculated knock out's I've seen.

And yeah. I know more fighter's have gone undefeated, I just wanted to throw Cal's name in there because I know SWAVY was thinking Marciano and not Cal. Had to throw Britain in there.
