Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks about alleged fight with Julio Cesar Chavez

The alleged exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. is unlikely to take place.

Although the topic was raised several times before and after Mayweather's successful exhibition fight against John Gotti III in Mexico City, Mayweather did not add fuel to the fire in his post-fight interview on Saturday.

Mayweather effortlessly boxed circles around Gotti, who seemed content to be in the same ring as a boxing icon.

There were no judges at the exhibition fight, which consisted of eight two-minute rounds. If there had been any, Mayweather would have won 80:72 according to the 10-point system.

The fight was sparse. In fact, the most eventful moment came in the second round when Mayweather had the referee changed because the exchanges were too aggressive.

A new referee was called to stop the fight, which went so smoothly that one had to wonder if it was scripted.

After the fight, Mayweather addressed the crowd in Mexico City, thanking them for the invitation and seeming to appreciate the opportunity to perform in front of a nation of fans who love the sport.

Mayweather also used the opportunity to address the rumors surrounding Chavez. He called Chavez, who was also present, into his interview area.

Mayweather paid his respects and told the crowd: “Because of his age, it would not make a good impression to face him in an exhibition fight.”

Mayweather, however, made it clear that he grew up admiring Chavez and that it was an honor to be there with him on Saturday.

Mayweather is right. An exhibition fight between him and Chavez makes no sense. Chavez is 62 years old and Mayweather is 47. Although the age difference between the two legends is smaller than that between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Mayweather will probably be held to a higher standard.

Although Mayweather rose to fame as a world-class fighter, many see Paul primarily as a YouTuber. Most won't be surprised if Paul defeats the 59-year-old Tyson, but the heavyweight legend still poses some threat due to his power.

This would not be the case with Chavez.

Chavez seems to be off the table as a possible opponent for Mayweather, and Mayweather will likely continue his exhibition boxing career. Who's next?

It makes sense for Mayweather to compete with more social media influencers. He has already clashed with Desi and this model has proven successful for the Paul brothers.

Depending on their interest, the members of the AMP group could probably compete with Mayweather in terms of attractiveness.

Streamers Kai Cenat (13.3 million followers on Twitch) and Duke Dennis (4 million followers on Twitch) have built huge fan bases and collaborated with Kevin Hart, Ice Spice, and other celebrities.

Dennis is the most outstanding athlete of the group, so if there was an opportunity with Mayweather and AMP, he would probably be involved. AMP has partnered with the Professional Fighters League on some alternative fighting events.

Based on what we've seen in novel fighting lately, almost no one can be ruled out with a platform.

Mayweather could also look to compete against mixed martial artists. A fight with Nate Diaz would probably do Mayweather good. Diaz has a solid following in combat sports and the build could be interesting.

However, I am not sure if Diaz would agree to an exhibition fight as he still has the necessary fighting power.

Mayweather and Conor McGregor fought the most financially successful crossover fight in history, bringing generational wealth to both men. Would they be willing to do it again and secure another huge win?

Neither is at their best, but both names are still game changers. I suspect we'll see hints of Mayweather's next move in the next six months, but Chavez's name probably won't crop up again as a possible opponent.
