He'll be 41 very shortly, and of course he would struggle with the top guys @ 147. I still say he can beat Thurman, but Spence and Crawford? Hell Naw!

Yeah at 40 and retired, he would struggle or lose. So what? - Mayweather 5 years ago would have made them all look basic. Honestly, even now i wouldn't be surprised if he beat them. He wouldn't be fighting like he did v McGregor.
Here's one. Deontay Wilder would beat the current version of Evander Holyfield....
What a non-story. Do these guys really get paid to write these articles? i think i need to get into this game.Comment

To be honest, the only one I would see him struggling with is Crawford for sure. Crawford's IQ would be the difference. He's not on prime Mayweather's level but at their current stage and ages he would be sharper mentally. Spence would be a tough fight because of his pressure style but it would depend on how Mayweather approached the fight. If he still has his legs and can still move I can see him playing keep away for 12 rounds. Thurman would be the least likely to cause him any issues. I think Thurman has shown some regression since he first came on as a hungry fighter. He would be too slow to bother Mayweather even at this stage.
I still think people are reading too much into the McGregor fight. That version of Mayweather wouldn't show up against any of these fighters and that version would've lost to Victor Ortiz!!Comment
