Super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) sent a Tweet on Tuesday to promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr., telling him to stop hiding former IBF 130 lb. champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis (19-0, 18 KOs). Lomachenko wants to fight Davis if possible in 2018.

“Money” Mayweather on his contentious relationship with “Golden Boy” De La Hoya: Oscar De La Hoya never liked me
They fought just once yet there has been a long and quite intense rivalry between the two biggest names of their era for years; and it’s still ongoing: Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya, two seemingly eternal enemies. Oscar, both before, during and after his 2007 loss to Mayweather, has had plenty to say about “Money,” even calling him a “wife beater” at one point.
IF Floyd Mayweather comes back – who should he fight?
It really does seem as though there will be talk of ‘one more time,’ or ‘one more fight’ revolving around megastar Floyd Mayweather Junior until he is around 45 years of age. A recent report courtesy of TMZ Sports strongly suggested “Money” is keeping himself in fantastic shape because he has not entirely ruled out the idea of having a 51st fight.
Tributes flooding in for Rafael Garcia – the man who Floyd Mayweather said this about: I won’t let anyone else touch my hands
Tributes have been flooding in due to the sad passing of lifelong boxing figure Rafael Garcia; best known for being a long-serving cutman for Floyd Mayweather Junior. Mayweather has led the tributes, of both the written and verbal variety.
Garcia was 88 years old and he died due to a heart attack, he was also suffering from leukaemia.
Why Floyd Mayweather should fight again
On Thursday October 19 a very interesting video surfaced on social media. The video was a short snippet of Floyd “Money” Mayweather training at his gym. Decked out in full gear he was banging the heavy bag. Speculation soon followed. Is he fighting again? It sure didn’t seem like he was going through the motions. However Floyd is a fitness addict who also loves attention. While no one except Floyd knows if he is going to fight again. I sure would like to see him have one more go in the ring.
Is Floyd Mayweather back in training for fight NO 51?
Though he insisted the mega-money fight he engaged in and of course won in August, against MMA star Conor McGregor, was his final fight, Floyd Mayweather has again caused a stir via a couple of pictures he placed on social media yesterday.
Mayweather-McGregor “Super Fight II?” – McGregor says he “knows” he’d get the win if he fought Floyd again
Do we really want to go through it all again? The hype, the circus atmosphere and the actual (surprisingly entertaining, even competitive for a few rounds) fight itself caused quite a stir, but is there any need to see a return fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor?
Mayweather, who “retired” after scoring a tenth-round win that earned him a staggering $100 million payday, could well be calling McGregor up in the future, for a rematch – this is what McGregor told a gathering in Glasgow yesterday (as filmed by MMA Fighting.)
Loeffler: There’s a reason Mayweather fought McGregor and would never entertain fighting GGG at 154
Though Tom Loeffler, promoter of middleweight king Gennady Golovkin, feels his fighter has what it takes to carry on fighting until the age of 40, he also says there is no chance 40 year old Floyd Mayweather will ever agree to face him, even at 154 pounds.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Loeffler said that never at any time were there “serious talks” between GGG and Mayweather; even though “ out of respect to Floyd, he is the only fighter that Gennady would have come to 154 for.”
Canelo says he’d like to “take out thorn in his side” with a Mayweather rematch
As he gears up for the biggest fight of his career, Mexican star Saul Canelo Alvarez is thinking, at least a little, about the second biggest bout of his career – the one he lost to Floyd Mayweather. Canelo, in being quoted by The Star, says he is not exactly obsessing over Mayweather and getting “Money” back in the ring with him, but he says a rematch is definitely something he would like.
As fans know, Mayweather put on a sensational, nearly flawless display in September of 2013, outboxing the 23 year old and taking his unbeaten record from him. Canelo may have looked like the epitome of a crushed fighter spiritually that night, or rather he did at the end of it, but he would love to face Mayweather again. Canelo says he learnt a lot from the 12 round defeat.
George Foreman on Mayweather-McGregor: “All of the media should apologise for the all the negative things they were saying about the fight”
Heavyweight great George Foreman was involved in a number of great rumbles during his two careers, a number of them deserving of Fight of The Year honours, and “Big” George, who perhaps enjoyed the recent Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight more than most, says all those people who criticised the bout should “apologise for all the negative things they were saying about the fight.” Foreman says the fight delivered plenty of action and was far more competitive than anyone had predicted.
