A lot has been made of Floyd Mayweather’s four-month turnaround between fights as he prepares for his September 14 showdown with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The unbeaten pound-for-pound king has been one fight and out every year since returning to the ring in 2009, having not returned to the ring this quick in more than ten years when he faced Victoriano Sosa four months after his rematch with Jose Luis Castillo.
“This camp went great. It was a good turnaround; I was able to stay sharp,” Mayweather says of the mere 19 weeks between ring appearances. “I’ve been getting good solid work and the young guys (in Mayweather Boxing Club gym) have been pushing me.”
Mayweather was two months removed from his 26th birthday at the time of his points win over Sosa. Ten years later, the 36-year old Mayweather turns back the clock for the sake of fighting on the two biggest dates of any given boxing calendar year. His win over Robert Guerrero came on Cinco de Mayo weekend, the fourth time Mayweather headlined an event with that particular holiday theme as the backdrop dating back to his split decision nod over Oscar de la Hoya in 2007.
