De La Hoya offers Floyd Mayweather a rematch with Canelo Alvarez, claims Canelo “would probably beat him easy” if they fought again!

02/23/201702/23/2017 James Slater

Despite the crazy scorecard turned in by judge C.J Ross, who somehow had the fight a draw, almost everyone agrees that Floyd Mayweather Jr. put on a master-class in decisioning Canelo Alvarez back in their May 2013 blockbuster. Looking great, the defensive master never put a foot (or a fist) wrong in outboxing his young opponent.

But Canelo’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya – perhaps wanting to add even more hype and attention to the upcoming May 6 showdown between Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. – has suggested Floyd comes out of his now 17-month retirement for a return meeting with the Mexican megastar. De La Hoya even stated how he believes his fighter would “beat him easy” in a sequel.

Dana White tells TMZ Sports plain and simple … when it comes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight, “There is no deal.”

There was a report out of Ireland that Conor and Floyd have agreed on terms for a megafight — but it hasn’t been formally signed because of a “holdup” from an unnamed 3rd party.

The UFC boss didn’t get into specifics … only saying point-blank, “No deal.”

01/21/201701/20/2017 James Slater

Superstar Manny Pacquiao’s next fight is still up in the air – recently, Pac-Man said he didn’t even know who possible foe Jeff Horn of Australia is – but one fight from his recent past remains uppermost in Manny’s mind. Or so it seems.

Talking to Fox Sports, the former multi-weight king and reigning WBO welterweight champ spoke about “The Fight of The Century” with Floyd Mayweather from May of 2015. Pacquiao insists that he was deserving of the decision after the 12 rounds had been completed; that he won the highest grossing money fight in history by “two or three rounds.”

Espinoza: We’ll be calling [Floyd] after the Garcia-Thurman fight, maybe he’ll be interested in facing the winner

01/19/201701/18/2017 James Slater

Is Floyd Mayweather Jr still the biggest name in boxing and MMA?

01/18/2017 Fantana

By Maverick Fantana: Boxing said farewell to Money Mayweather after a dominant and very exciting final display of boxing prowess against Andre Berto. With Manny Pacquiao back from his amazingly long retirement there is of course speculation that a rematch with Floyd Mayweather could be in the works. Mayweather has quashed any rumours of a return to the ring much like he did throughout his career with overmatched opponents. That is except for the recent speculation and comments from Floyd saying he will fight MMA and soon to be Game of Thrones star Gregory McConnor (who is not yet a household name).

Floyd Mayweather asks, “Are they [the judges] being paid under the table?” after Jack-DeGale draw

01/17/201701/16/2017 James Slater

As fight fans are probably aware, superstar Floyd Mayweather had plenty to say, both before, during and after Saturday night’s big 168-pound unification fight between his fighter Badou Jack and Britain’s James DeGale. But it is what “Money” said after the controversial draw that saw both warriors keep their belt, that has attracted the most attention.

Mayweather was furious over the decision that denied Jack from adding the IBF title to the WBC he already holds, and he has even questioned whether the judges are “being paid under the table?” Mayweather is so angry, he is quoted, by The Mirror, as saying he may not come back to New York to promote any future fights.

Floyd Mayweather boxing Conor McGregor moves from crazy possibility to tentative exploration

01/14/201701/14/2017 G.E. Simons

As 2017 really gets underway, the vapour trail of 2016’s machismo-driven content provision, the lighting up of black mirrors, and heaving cogs of speculation that the world’s best boxer might do battle with the world’s best mixed martial artist has picked up pace.

Up until this week, its all been good harmless fun,but no one really believed that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor could or would meet in a boxing ring, for numerous reasons. Not least that McGregor is under contract with the UFC and the retired Floyd surely wouldn’t want to return andhit the magical 50 wins by beating an opponent from another sport.

Floyd Mayweather: James DeGale is the best fighter in the UK right now

01/13/2017 James Slater

Although he has been “retired” for well over a year now (the speech marks are there simply because many people, Freddie Roach among them, seem to be convinced Floyd will fight again) Floyd Mayweather is almost constantly in the news.

Just this week the 39-year-old stated on ESPN’s “First Take” how he wants the fight between he and Conor McGregor to happen, and yesterday “Money” confirmed how he will be a guest during President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week. When Floyd talks, people listen.

Floyd Mayweather Never Dared To Be Great!

01/13/201701/13/2017 Gannicus

You hear ‘49-0. Undefeated. Beat 25 World Champions. Dominating the game since the 90’s. He must be the greatest’.

This article will prove that this statement is very hollow.

Floyd Mayweather only dared to be elite, but not a Great. He just dared to be elite long enough to become a Great, but never intentionally dared to be Great.
