Mayweather Sr. Confident Floyd Still Beats All Top Guys at 147
By Edward Chaykovsky
Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) retired last September after winning a twelve round decision over former welterweight beltholder Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Since that announcement, speculation has been widespread over whether or not Mayweather will actually come out of retirement.
Mayweather denies the possibility of a comeback fight, his father and trainer - Floyd Mayweather Sr. - believes his son will return for at least one more ring outing to get his record to 50-0.
Even though his son is nearly 40-years-old, Floyd Sr. feels confident that he can still defeat the top fighters in the welterweight division.
The main welterweight players at the moment at include WBA champion Keith Thurman, WBC champion Danny Garcia, IBF champion Kell Brook, WBO champion Jessie Vargas, Errol Spence, Shawn Porter and of course Manny Pacquiao.
"Well, you’d be surprised, you will be surprised how Floyd will do, you will be surprised. If he gets ready to fight, I will make sure that he’s in there to win, and he will win. I know a lot about boxing and I know a lot of things to do to beat some of these guys that are still out there that are thinking they are gonna be the next Floyd," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"Those guys that’s out there, just like I said, I can still get Floyd to do what he’s been doing. I’m telling you, I’m pretty sure of that. I think Floyd can still win against some of those bigger guys that are at a higher stage right now in the boxing game, I think Floyd pretty much still whoop all of them. But he ain’t be out that long though! He’s been out long enough, but he ain’t been off that long."
