    think Alvarez, think Thurman, think Lara, think Garcia think Khan think anyone you want. He's favored to beat every boxer alive by higly favorable odds. There's no one for him to come back for, which is why they're seriously considering McGregor. You can all think that UFC contract means something all they way until the fights actually announced. Conor's next.
    Conor McGregor talks are meaningless. He won't fight McGregor.

    And yea he's favoured to beat any boxer but some opponents are more dangerous than others.

        He'll be 40 this February. He's already slid to the point that his reflexes have greatly diminished, along with his balance and punch variety. The next step is the inability to pull the trigger completely.
        lol You say "this February" as if February 2017 will be here pretty shortly. It's only been less than a few months since Mayweather turned 39.

        I'd be happy to know what examples of his reflexes greatly diminishing you have for us because judging from his last couple of fights (against Pacquiao particularly), his reflexes were about as sharp as ever.

          Reflexes are still pretty good but he has slipped a lot overall , one element doesnt negate the others .

          He is not as fast or as accurate , his counters are missing a lot more now that his feet are slower and he is second guessing his commitment to the punch , all adds up too getting hit more and landing hard shots less , at some point he will get caught , he can probably still beat anyone at 147 so its hard to say coming back would be regretful with the money he would make .

          But dont kid yourself Floyd is not near his best , from Canelo on you can see the decline .

              if he faces a true threat like an improved canelo or a mexican style fighter like ggg mayweather will regret the day he was born.

                Even if they were to actually fight, fighting McGregor in a boxing match would be a joke.

                  Yep. At his age, one day you have it, and the next you just don't.

                  It would be folly to consider a comeback, unless he's doing it purely for the paycheck.

                    In spite of the huge money he'll be getting, as a man approaching 40, I think he may go out in embarrassing fashion. Seems like very view boxers walk away on a high note .
                    The only thing that is apparent is that idiots on this site continue to believe every line of bullsh.t that you read on a boxing website or message board when it comes to Mayweather.

                    I heard that Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard were coming out of retirement to prove that they were greater fighters than Mayweather. Do you think Mayweather will get embarrassed in those fights as well?
