Mayweather opens up about McGregor, Canelo, more

Highlights:

When asked if he would return to boxing, Mayweather was coy, as usual, because sometimes he says no way, and other times he leaves the door open.

“I’ve made mistakes. I’m not perfect,” he said. “Can I contradict myself? Absolutely, because I’m only human. Floyd Mayweather’s not perfect. God only made one thing perfect -- my boxing record.”

Now that Mayweather is retired, he agreed with most observers that the best fighter in the world is undefeated four-division world champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs), who currently holds a junior bantamweight title.

“I like Andre Ward, but one thing about me -- call a spade a spade. He didn’t win,” Mayweather said of Ward. “Chocolatito has to be No. 1. He haven’t lost yet, and he’s a helluva fighter.”

As for the future pound-for-pound king, Mayweather had some candidates in mind.

“I really think it’s going to come down to two fighters,” he said. “I think that Terence Crawford is going to eventually fight Errol Spence, Keith Thurman or [Danny] Garcia. But then [there’s Erislandy] Lara.

“Canelo’s not ducking Triple G. Canelo will beat GGG,” Mayweather said.

“I know boxing. Nobody in the world know boxing like me. Canelo knocks Triple G out. Triple G has his hand full with [Daniel] Jacobs [on March 18]. Jacobs can fight. The thing is this: Jacobs can dish it out, but he has to be able to take it. But it’s all about who gets who first.”

“Virgil Hunter’s not a good trainer at all. That’s just my honest opinion,” he said. “Virgil Hunter is a cool guy. He’s a nice guy, but a guy who’s never fought before, that’s never been in a crunch moment. How can he tell you about a crunch moment if he’s never been in a crunch moment? I need a trainer that’s in my corner that’s been in there before and felt contact and know how it is to be in a fight. I don’t care if it’s an amateur fight. You have to have some type of experience at boxing. So can Virgil Hunter be in my corner? Absolutely not. But do I think he’s a cool guy? Absolutely.

“Do I like Andre Ward? Yes, I do like Andre Ward. But Andre Ward got to make some major changes if you going to fight Kovalev again. You got to make some major changes. You got to go get you a trainer that’s been in the crunch before.”

I just watched this video. I thought the most interesting part was when the interviewer said there's a lot of Mayweather in Ward. Floyd was like, there's a lot of Money Mayweather in Ward, but PBF was a totally different fighter.

:mjlol:He really shyted on Virgil

This was a great interview
