While Floyd Mayweather has been long-retired, he still remains a massive superstar, even at the age of 48. Recently, he received a call out from a fellow legend regarding a potential comeback.

'Money' has been involved in an online beef with Roy Jones Jr who has challenged Mayweather to a professional fight to set their differences aside. He said, "Ain’t gonna be no exhibition. I want it real. It makes no sense to be an exhibition. What’re we gonna play for? We both fight for real. No exhibition. We need to make it real. Exhibitions are for people playing. We ain’t playing. I ain’t, anyway."

The chances of the fight happening, though, look slim.
