If Floyd Mayweather made a serious comeback.

[Outwest Exp 355]

He could compete because he’s great enough to turn every fight into a technical fight. But he’d be vulnerable to getting out worked by some guys as well. Doing what he’s doing now is good because he can earn some decent coin and he doesn’t have to train as hard. I doubt Floyd even spars anymore.

[Cypocryphy]

Never usually make Floyd threads cause it usually just descends into the tiresome same debate we’ve had for 15 years but…

Do you think he could still fight at the top level like B-Hop did on his mid to late 40’s?

He has right sort of style, the ring intelligence and work ethic/discipline to still be successful IMO.

He’ll obviously never do it because he’d rather fight YouTubers and abuse Japanese children but if he did I think he’d have a legitimate shot at matching/beating B-Hop’s record.

Thoughts?

He could so long as he fought B/C level competition. Forget about Floyd fighting for a world title right now. An exhibition is more os a show than a sport. He's not the same guy anymore. He will get hit and hurt. That fight last night was smoke and mirror. Plus I think Floyd got hit pretty good in that fight, which I was surprise by.

[Hustle]

He can win against guys like Broner, Mikey, Pacquiao.

He cant win against guys like Spence, Crawford, Boots

This is the reason I don’t like to make Floyd threads.

Bro, you said Floyd couldn’t complete with the top Welterweights at 38 when he beat Pacquiao the guy ranked #2 behind him. Was Pacquiao not a top Welterweight in 2015?

You guys are so salty man, Floyd is an arrogant pr*** and I don’t like him either but it doesn’t change the fact he’s one of the greatest technicians the sport has ever seen.

Pacquiao was injured, he also wasn’t the same fighter he was five years prior when Floyd admits he marinated the fight.

Setting aside Floyd’s arrogance and criminal behavior, as a fighter I have always acknowledged he is a great defensive fighter. But he also cherry picked his entire career, never fought an elite level fighter at their best. I see no reason to believe he would be competitive today with Spence, Crawford, Thurman, Garcia, or even Jermell. At this point even Broner beats him.

He consistently fought top level competition for like 15+ years.

You’re a good poster man but you struggle go to remain objective when it comes to Mayweather.

Who knows. Floyd's got a style that aged well. Lot's of holding, a good chin and just enough offense for Nevada judges to be able to give him the round. If anyone can make a comeback at 45, it's Floyd (especially if he don't fight outside of Vegas).

Not one was at their best. Canelo on the way up, PAC, Cotto, battle fatigued or injured, Corrales weight drained and coming off a case of bronchitis, Oscar and Mosley past prime.

[Raggamuffin]

Floyd is washed up. He can’t beat any of the elite guys like a Spence or Bud. He might be able to beat Garcia and Thurman doe, but he’s washed.

[hugh grant]

No because Hopkins only fought into those ages because he had his first world title fight at age 28 and world title win at age 29.

Whereas Floyd was at world level from age 18.

These components are more telling them the actual age number.

If you start later, you tend to fight further in age.

Sergio Martinez is another example, Joe Joyce right now is another example.

Then you’ve got Wilfred Benitez who won his first world title at age 17 and was finished at the top level before he was 30.

So how was pac able to fight at such high level at 42, having win first title at 19?

Nope, too out of practice too even beat even old D. Garcia.
