    Don`t even think he could do the training at 52.

    Even in those exhibition bouts he looks like a shell of his former self. He doesn't have the same reflexes anymore.

    That's not because Floyd would make a good fighter at 47 years but because WW is so watered down and these alphabet belts are like tee ball trophies

    Logan Paul retired Floyd. He has not been the same since.

    I seriously doubt it. He's not fought an actual real fight in over 7 years, 9 if you don't count his fight with McGregor which was basically an exhibition as he wasn't facing a genuine pro boxer.

    Even if he could get himself to the same level of fitness and repeat the same workouts to the same level he did 7-9 years ago, that doesn't mean we'd see that translate into the ring. Being fit enough isn't enough, you have to have the reflexes, the sharpness, the mental toughness that only comes from competition, for a real fight and there's no guarantee that's still there.

    the heavyweight division is and always has been the weakest skilled division that doesn’t fly in lower weights

    So at what age will he not be able to do the training? Fighters are shot at 47.

    Foreman still had his power, there`s no way Floyd will knock out any of the current welter champs.

    True, but Moorer was more skilled than 90% of the active welter roster, but Floyd does not have fight ending power.
