When Conor McGregor<\/a> steps into the boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather on August 26, he’ll be short on advantages. One clear advantage he does have, however, is his age. He’s a relative fresh 28, while Mayweather is now 40 years old.<\/p>\n

During the Los Angeles stop of the Mayweather-McGregor world press tour<\/a>, Mayweather spoke candidly about his age, and how it’s effecting his training. Apparently, training camp is taking its toll on his battered body.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m not the same fighter I was 21 years ago,\u201d Mayweather said (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m not the same fighter I was 10 years ago. I\u2019m not even the same fighter I was two years ago. I understand that but I have that fighter\u2019s mentality. But this will – I spoke to Al [Haymon]. Today we had a meeting and I can\u2019t push my body [anymore]. It\u2019s grueling. Training camp is grueling. I can\u2019t do it anymore. It\u2019s rough. Training camp is rough. I\u2019m just going to the gym, working hard everyday and it\u2019s rough. This has to be my last one.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter taking a couple years off, I was okay but then we end up somehow making this fight happen and now I really know that this is it. Deep in my heart, this is it. I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mayweather then explained how he’s altered his approach to training to lessen the toll on his body.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m taking a lot of time off,” he said. “I\u2019m letting my body rejuvenate. Letting my body heal just to make sure that before I go out there to compete, whether it\u2019s in the boxing gym or in that squared circle, I want to make sure that my body is as close to 100 percent as possible so I\u2019ve been letting my body do a lot of resting. I\u2019ve been doing a lot of resting this training camp whereas other training camps I really wasn\u2019t resting as much.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Floyd Mayweather’s age will play a factor in his showdown with Conor McGregor?<\/p>\n
