Floyd Mayweather still has a lot to say about boxing. The 48-year-old legend hasn't fought professionally since 2017 when he beat Conor McGregor, but he's still making waves in the sport.
Mayweather recently talked to TMZ Sports about the big fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. Crawford won that match on September 13, beating Canelo by unanimous decision. It was a huge moment for Crawford's career, and the whole world got to watch it on Netflix.
When asked about the fight, Mayweather had positive things to say:
"It was good for boxing. It was exciting. The best man came out on top."
Mayweather also talked about Canelo, who's now 35 years old. He didn't say Canelo was finished, but he did mention that boxing takes a toll on fighters:
"Boxing is a lot of wear and tear."
People want to know if there'll be a rematch between Crawford and Canelo. Mayweather thinks that's up to the fighters:
"If they want to do a rematch, do a rematch. If not, keep it moving. I'm pretty sure I would watch it, if they did."
A rematch could happen. The first fight got people talking, and both fighters could make a lot of money from it. Crawford's star is rising, and Canelo is still a big name in boxing.
Even though he's not fighting anymore, Mayweather is still important in boxing. He's got his hands in lots of things outside the ring, like business deals and even some legal stuff. He's known for betting big on sports, and he's planning an exhibition fight with Mike Tyson in 2026.
Mayweather surprised some people by saying Crawford might be better than him. That's a big deal coming from an undefeated champ who won titles in five different weight classes.
The Crawford-Canelo fight will go down in boxing history as a big moment. And Mayweather? He's still one of the most important voices talking about it.
