    Mayweather is pretty honest and blunt in this interview. Says he will not fight past 38 and the reason he is still in healthy and sharp shape is because of his style, in which he points out people criticized him for but hes still there in great mental shape.

    One of the best fighters to ever lace them up. He will be missed.

    If he keeps fighting until he's 38, he is going to lose. Bet on it. If he wants to retire with his "0" intact, he'd retire now.

    He also said his career would be over at 30 and that Hoya would be his last opponent. Athletes say a lot of things. Mayweather can't tell the future. Who knows when his competitive juices will stop flowing. Remember Hopkins' promise to his mom that he wouldn't fight past the age of 40? Remember how he broke that promise as soon as she died?

    Nah

    The weight divisions that Floyd can campaign in are evaporating and will soon go through droughts.

    We'll see him 3 more times tops. He won't fight beyond 36 years old imo.

    It's not hard to maintain your mental shape when you were a mental midget to begin with.

    Depending on who he fights he possibly will not fight after next year

    Sad man

    And to think people still don't appreciate him :-(

    I'm telling you, a welterweight unification between the 4 champions is just waiting.

    But politics ruin it as always.
