WBA/IBO/IBF middleweight world champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin has opened the door to a fight with the recently retired Floyd Mayweather - should the self-proclaimed ‘TBE’ return to the ring.

Mayweather (49-0, 26KOs), who announced his retirement last September after winning a decision over Andre Berto, had previously dismissed the threat of the Kazakh KO King as “easy work” to fuel the fire.

Golovkin is willing to squeeze down to the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds to make the Mayweather fight a reality. Mayweather has denied any and all rumors of a possible return, but insiders are still confident that he will fight again in the near future.

Speaking to ‘Sports Nation’ on ESPN in the U.S, GGG continued: “I think Floyd and his father [Floyd Mayweather Sr.] knows I’m a very serious boxer.”

Sports Nation analyst Max Kellerman quizzed the feared puncher if Floyd would he go the distance should they meet.

Triple G answered: “I don’t like ping pong, his style. I like style like Oscar De La Hoya. I like true fights. I feel my power. I feel my style. I saw his fight against Maidana. I remember Floyd was dancing a little bit… I have a big chance [to knock him out].”
