Mayweather Sr: My Son Beats Guys Like Thurman Easy

By Rick Reeno

As of Sunday morning, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) is a retired fighter. Most believe he'll return within a year.

At the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, he matched Rocky Marciano's undefeated record with a lopsided twelve round unanimous decision over Andre Berto.

If Mayweather returns in 2016, there is currently a limited pool of potential opponents.

Father and trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., evaluated some of the possibilities - if he son decided to come back. For himself, Floyd Sr. would like to see his son return for at least his 50th fight.

As far as opponents, Floyd Sr. immediately ruled out Amir Khan. There is tension between the two and the elder Mayweather is promising to block any possibility of that fight being finalized.

He also ruled out the possibility of facing Shawn Porter and the winner of November's anticipated match between Saul Alvarez and Miguel Cotto. In terms of a rematch with either Canelo or Cotto, Floyd Sr. stated - 'For what? He already beat those guys." 

That leaves WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman. Floyd Sr. has no issue with Thurman getting opportunity, but cautions that son will likely dominate the entire match.

"Keith Thurman is just a one-shot hitter. Floyd beats guys like that real easy. He throws big punches [very wide]. You see Floyd make guys miss shots like that all day," Mayweather Sr. said.

Thurman is expected to return in late November or early December, possibly against former champion Shawn Porter.
