Floyd Mayweather is one of those in boxing history whose opinion in current boxing matters more than any other expert. Being a once dominant champion, Mayweather has always been regular in his rivalry with his opponents, settling it down.
Now that Floyd is done with the rivalries, he is ready to make a few judgments on today’s boxing scenario. Mayweather, during his time, was world-famous and is now known as the face of boxing. A 50-0 record recently opened up about his take on the current boxing scenario.
Floyd Mayweather names the top three boxers
Floyd Mayweather finally faced the question of commenting on the current scenario of boxing. He was asked to comment on the top three boxers in current boxing who he thinks are ranked at the top in all weight classes. The 46-year-old chose to give numbers to lighter weight classes only because he believes they are more dominant in boxing.
Retired boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has instigated the world of boxing by naming his picks for the new best boxers in the current boxing scenario, overlooking seasoned champions like Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. His choices? The undefeated rising star Ryan Garcia, the explosive Gervonta Davis, and the long-reigning Canelo Alvarez.
While Davis’s inclusion is unsurprising given his undefeated record and Canelo’s dominance is almost expected, the inclusion of Garcia comes as a surprise. The young boxer’s talent is undeniable, but his lack of experience against top competition raises eyebrows.
Floyd Mayweather was spotted jogging with Ryan Garcia
Both Mayweather and Ryan Garcia were spotted together visiting many sports events, and it can’t be ignored that the friendship influence forced Floyd Mayweather to take Garcia’s name on the top three list of best boxers.
Recently, boxing legend “Kingry” was spotted jogging together on the streets, giving new-year goals to the fans. Showcasing that there are never days off from becoming a champion. At 3 a.m., both were spotted on the streets of Vegas in chilled weather.
Ryan Garcia is in talks for a potential bout against Devin Haney this year to even their six amateur fights rivalry with the 7th bout in a professional match-up.
On the other hand, Floyd Mayweather may have got an unsettled business to take care of, as his bout against Manny Pacquia in 2015 turned out to be controversial. Pacquia made an official announcement of a rematch against Floyd Mayweather this year (via Yahoo).
Floyd, after retiring professionally in 2017, stayed in touch with boxing with a few exhibition bouts, with 3 wins in 7 bouts and no losses.
