Floyd Mayweather is a boxer who has set the bar too high for young fighters. The 45-year-old has been an established boxer with an unbeatable winning streak. Whether it is about spectacular boxing performance, business, or the richest boxer, Mayweather has done it all. However, rising boxing stars of this generation are often compared to Mayweather. Let’s take a look at a few such names, and what the veteran opines about them. 

In a recent interview with FightHype.com, Mayweather stated, “Shakur Stevenson is a hell of a fighter, Devin Haney is a hell of a fighter right. But guess what, if TopRank has Devin Haney and they got Shakur Stevens, then they need to fight each other. Don’t worry about Tank remember, everybody’s saying Tank ain’t doing, he’s not this, he’s not that. Tank don’t have this belt, he don’t have that belt, different things.”

Floyd Mayweather further added, “If that’s true then guess what, don’t worry about Tank. Let Tank do what he doing. Tank got to worry about nothing, as long as Tank with Floyd and Al, Tank will always live good.” 

‘Money’ says that Top Rank has two great boxers, Shakur Stevenson and the newly associated Devin Haney. And they should make a fight happen between these two, leaving Gervonta Davis out of this.

Haney recently took the boxing world by storm as he defeated the former Australian champion, George Kambosos Jr; on June 5. The Marvel Stadium in Melbourne was on fire as the two squared off inside the ring. Eventually, a 23-year-old Haney emerged as the four-belt undisputed lightweight champion without his father or trainer by his side.
