Mayweather Sr: Danny Garcia Can't Beat My Son, Not as Good

By Edward Chaykovsky

Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer for five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs), believes WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia (32-0, 18KOs) has no shot to beat his son.

Mayweather retired last September after winning a twelve round decision over Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Floyd Sr. believes his son will return to the ring for at least one more fight - and Garcia's name has been mentioned time and time again as a potential opponent.

At the moment Mayweather claims to have no intention of fighting again and wants to focus his energy on being a full-time promoter while continuing to build his Mayweather Promotions banner.

Garcia captured the WBC title in January with a twelve round decision over Robert Guerrero. Mayweather was the previous owner of the belt and vacated a few months into his retirement.

Mayweather dominated Guerrero back in 2013. Floyd Sr. feels the Guerrero who fought Garcia was a worn-down shadow of the fighter that faced Mayweather several years ago. 

"We’d have to see about that, but I’m just telling you right now though. In the fight, Garcia gets beat. You heard that from me. He might be a good fighter, but he ain’t as good as Floyd. He’s an alright fighter, he hasn’t lost, he and who did he fight last? Somebody said that they fought a fight with him that was real close. Who was that [Robert Guerrero]?," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"Well, Floyd put a whooping on [Guerrero] right there. He ain’t the same Guererro he was at first. It was clear to see, I’m just saying that when you look at guys like him man, they take good whoopings from guys, whopping them up, down, down and up, up down. Them guys right there, they be just a matter of time."
