Mike Tyson Picks Floyd Mayweather's Next Fight

With the 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao coming out of retirement to face Mario Barrios on July 19, the topic of legendary boxers who are past their primes returning to the ring has once again become a hot topic of conversation.

Of course, Pacquiao isn't the only former world champion who's well into his forties who has fought in recent years. The most notable of these was when Mike Tyson fought against Jake Paul back in November 2024, when Tyson was 58 years old. While Tyson's form in that bout was a shell of what he could do in his prime, that doesn't mean every fighter who competes in their forties is due to lose.

This is proven by Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr., who has competed in a total of eight exhibition bouts since his last professional fight, which came against Conor McGregor when Mayweather was 40 years old in 2017. While no winners were declared in these exhibition bouts, Mayweather certainly didn't make a fool of himself or look too far gone.
