Floyd Mayweather Jr<\/a> has been linked to a professional return against old-foe Manny Pacquiao<\/a>, however, there is now another former Mayweather opponent who has has called him out for a rematch.<\/p>\n

Mayweather hung up the gloves after halting Conor McGregor in \u2018The Money Fight\u2019 back in 2017, retiring with a legendary undefeated record and a place amongst the all-time greats of the sport.<\/p>\n

Since then, Mayweather has fought regularly in exhibition bouts and kept himself in shape, and the recent comeback of Pacquiao has led to suggestions that the pound-for-pound stars could run it back in a rematch of their famous 2015 encounter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Should Mayweather need some high-profile preparation for a meeting with Pacquiao, he need look no further than Zab Judah, who told MillCity Boxing<\/a> of his desire to fight Mayweather two decades on from their heated 2006 meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cListen, if we did an exhibition match right now, it would probably be the biggest exhibition match in boxing right now. Zab Judah-Mayweather part two, that would go stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAin\u2019t s**t old about me. You can blabber about \u2018I don\u2019t know what he is doing, is he in shape?\u2019, I am ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pacquiao had been the frontrunner for a shot at Rolando Romero\u2019s WBA welterweight world title, to potentially add a world title to his rematch with Mayweather, but it now seems as though Uzbekistan\u2019s mandatory challenger Shakhram Giyasov will instead challenge for the belt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mayweather announced an exhibition bout against Mike Tyson<\/a> last year, but further details regarding that event have not been released, with fans left assuming that those plans may have been put on hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Floyd Mayweather Jr has been linked to a professional return against old-foe Manny Pacquiao, however, there is now…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-680235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115854653947838394","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
