Floyd Mayweather Sr.With Floyd Mayweather beating Manny Pacquiao two Saturdays ago, there isn’t much Mayweather can do for the rest of his career to enhance his legacy even more. He beat the guy that was up there with him as the best of this generation. Mayweather has one more fight left on his Showtime contract and after that fight he has said that he is calling it a career. Should he win, it would leave him at 49-0.

Now while the rumors of Amir Khan or Keith Thurman being the front runner to land the fight, Mayweather would be a heavy favorite. Should he win that fight, would he not go for 50-0 and if so against whom?

For some reason, a lot of people want Mayweather to try and test himself even more and fight the Kazak machine Gennady Golovkin. Golovkin on many occasions has said he could make 154 for a fight with Mayweather even though he’s a legit Middleweight.

Mayweather Sr., the father and trainer of his son, was asked about possibly fighting Triple G by Pro Boxing Insider.

“I would say something about this Triple G. This Triple G if GGG can make weight that would be different. We are not fitting to fight no damn giant. I’m going to tell you like this right here. He comes down, he’ll be at 154, [but] by the time he eats and fights that night, maybe [he’ll be at] 180, you just don’t know. People can eat up stuff, and hey – he don’t need to fight nobody like that,” Mayweather Sr. was quoted in an article by Boxingscene.com.

Even if there is such a weight difference Mayweather Sr. still feels his son can beat Golovkin.

“Now they say that Floyd won’t beat him, but I’m just telling you because the guy is probably just so big and strong. Floyd probably, all he would be doing is he’d take a lot of punches. He’d come in [and] Floyd would run the stuff off of him. But the whole thing is, it would be a struggle, but Floyd probably could beat him. I can’t say that he can’t beat him.”
