By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) says he still doesn’t have that urge to step back inside the ring to resume his pro career at this time. What’s interesting though is that Mayweather isn’t ruling out a return to the ring at some point in the future, and that’s a good sign for fans that want to see him fight again. Mayweather, 38, is just saying he doesn’t want to return to the ring right now.

Mayweather was at the Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero fight last Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and there was nothing he saw from either of those fighters that made him want to resume his pro career. It was a dull fight with two guys that were nowhere near Mayweather in the talent department.

“The other day, I tried to tell myself, ‘You want to fight again’…I still don’t have the urge…I tried to force myself to tell myself that I wanted to fight again…As of right now, absolutely not…What’s important is my children,” Mayweather said to esnewsreporting.com.

If Mayweather doesn’t return to the ring, then his fight against Andre Berto last September will have been his last fight of his career. That’s a perfectly good fight for someone to be ending their career’s with. When you look at the caliber of opponents that most top fighters end their careers with, Mayweather did quite well in ending with Berto.

I’m not talking about fighters that end their careers with a loss against a top guy and choose to retire rather than continue on. I’m talking about a top fighter that has decided to end his career on his terms while he’s still at the top. Mayweather did it the right way by choosing Berto rather than someone like Manny Pacquiao, who still insists to this day that he beat Mayweather.

That would have been a poor choice for Mayweather to retire on because even if Mayweather did beat Pacquiao for a second time, there would be the potential where Pacquiao might not admit that he was beaten. Mayweather would then be confronted with the same situation where his opponent Pacquiao fails to acknowledge that he was beaten, and enough of his fans would believe that he won to where it would be a useless fight for Mayweather.

Mayweather reportedly is making seven figures on his investments outside of the ring. With that kind of money coming in year after year, there’s no need for Mayweather to come back to the fight game to resume his career for the sake of money. If Mayweather did resume his career, it would have to be because he saw an opponent that motivated him enough to want to make a comeback so that he test his skills against them.

At this present time, there isn’t anyone in the 140, 147, 154 or the 169lb division that is standing out right now enough to motivate Mayweather for a comeback. You can’t say of the light welterweights or welterweights are fighting at a high enough level to get Mayweather interested. Terence Crawford hasn’t beaten Viktor Postol to show that he’s the guy at 140 yet. Keith Thurman still has to prove himself against Errol Spence Jr., the fighter many boxing fans see as the best in the division, and he still has to beat Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Danny Garcia and Kell Brook.

There is no one top guy at 147 that has established himself as No.1 for Mayweather to want to come back and beat him. At 154, it’s the same thing. The Charlo brothers haven’t fought Erislandy Lara and Demetrius Andrade to show that they’re the best. At 160, Gennady Golovkin has to fight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez at some point, and I don’t think Golovkin is going to win that fight. Canelo might be the best middleweight in the division, and he’s no competition for Mayweather, as we saw in 2013. There’s no motivation right now for Mayweather to comeback and beat Canelo again. Mayweather might change his mind once Canelo beats Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs to establish himself as the best fighter in the division. Until then, there’s nothing that Canelo has done with his career since his loss to Mayweather that makes him look like an improved fighter.
