@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather Mayweather is the best boxer to ever live. I‘m not talking about him as a person but him as a boxer.

@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather Mans is one of the smoothest to ever do it

@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather Muscle memory is stellar. Watching Floyd train (which was difficult to see as most of the time he wouldn’t allow cameras on) for an upcoming fight was insane. This dude would go for 3 hours straight- sip on soda to level sugar levels. Go from bag work, sparing, mitts, etc nonstop
@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather 🐐
@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather he still got it hope he becomes a trainer one day #TBE
@MichaelBensonn @FloydMayweather That’s why he’s the greatest because he studied the art of boxing 🥊 not to get hit and to counter and move simple as that many fighters today forget about that please yourself not the fans your the one in the ring getting hurt and has to feed your family

Former Bellator champ A.J. McKee wants to face Floyd Mayweather

Former Bellator champion A.J. McKee is interested in stepping into the boxing ring and has called Money out.

According to the 28-year-old, Mayweather's multiple exhibitions bouts indicate that he could be open to the fight, and even suggested Misfits Boxing as the promotion the pair could face off in.

Speaking with JN MEDIA, McKee referred to Floyd Mayweather as the 'GOAT', and stated he'd fight anybody in the squared circle. He said:

"I know they got that 170 tournament jumping off. I mean, that's two weight classes above but, who knows? Maybe I'll get my feet wet in there and tussle with these big boys a little bit."

A.J. McKee added:

"Floyd, man! I want Floyd. Yeah, that's the GOAT bro. It's because he's a GOAT, I'm a GOAT. To share that moment, one GOAT to another GOAT, there's no one like it, you know? Mixed martial arts, there's not many people you can share that great moment with. Outside of that, I don't care, I'll fight anybody."
