Skip Bayless continues to poke and prod Floyd Mayweather during his retirement. This time Bayless would like for Mayweather to come out of retirement to face the hard-hitting GGG.
Hey @FloydMayweather: Your man Stephen A says you’d have NO CHANCE vs Triple G – that you’d get HURT. Prove Stephen A wrong!

Mayweather would’ve had a tough time with GGG before his retirement. GGG is much bigger and heavier than the fighters Mayweather has fought the past 5 years, he drained Canelo to get him down to a manageable weight. GGG also has a greater KO percentage than anyone Mayweather has ever faced.
A fight at 154 lbs would stack the deck in GGG’s favor and Mayweather doesn’t take fights that don’t favor him.
Skip Bayless knows this but where’s the headlines in asking Floyd to come back to fight Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter? Skip makes it a point to call for situations that are unlikely to happen. Mayweather will now be called a coward for not fighting GGG, when in fact the fight is a longer shot than Mayweather-Pacquiao was 5 years ago.
