Will Mayweather Have Career Longevity?

[Larry the boss]

Getting @ss****d in prison could shorten his fighting longevity.

come on Chups you are better than that

He's already a boxer with longevity in the sport, but his reflexes and speed are already declining. However, he's slick and has good ring IQ, so I think that if he decides to continue for some more time he could become some sort of Hopkins by adapting his game.

[jcpryor]

he's 35 years old, been in the game since 96 and anyone he fights still gets called a bum because of how good his skills still are. I'd say he's doing pretty well.

Floyd is a fighter at heart, that's why he had to get back out of retirement.

Also I think Floyd do care about his legacy.

After Pac he might go after Sergio, who knows....

2 more fights after he beats Cotto on May 5th?

[CHOWWOKKA]

Good question I definitely think he is in better shape then Hopkins and is body will last as long assuming they are both clean BUT Floyd is undefeated and he really doesn't want to lose that zero. Hopkins at the same age already had 2 losses a draw and a NC. He kind of had nothing to lose.

Mayweather had a 5 name kill list when he came out of retirement: Cotto, Marquez, Mosley, pacquiao, and Marquez.

We'll be lucky to see him fight 2 more times after this fight imo.

What makes you say that? Hopkins eats a clean diet. Mayweather's diet is a mix of healthy and junk food.

Im guessing if you take the least amount of punishment through your whole career you will last longer and will be healthier than the average 40 year old boxer.

Floyd eating a bigmac on 24 7 doesn't mean he has a mixed diet of healthy and junk food. And I didn't even mention genetics, IDK what Hopkins dad looks like but I doubt he is in as good as shape as SR.

[1dcsailor]

he is already 35 and has been a pro for 16 years and a champion for 14 isnt that longevity??

This. ****** question by TS.
