Floyd Mayweather Snr will attempt to convince his son to fight once more should he impress against Andre Berto at the MGM Grand on Saturday.
Mayweather Jr insists he will hang up his gloves on Saturday despite the fact that victory will move him level with Rocky Marciano's 49-0 unbeaten record as he has no interest in beating it.
The 62-year-old American former professional boxer and current boxing trainer, admitted he will do his best to change his son's mind to stay away from retiring just yet.
''It will definitely be up to him whether he makes the decision or not,'' Mayweather Snr told reporters. ''But if he does not do whatever he decides to do within a six-month period, leave it alone. It's done. It's too long at his age. If he looks good on Saturday against Berto I'll say let's do it one more time, let's have one last one. That's what I'm going to tell him. Right now we still have a fight on Saturday so I'm still here right now. We don't know what's going to happen on Saturday, we will have to wait and see because he might say 'hey – I'm going to do it again, one more time'.''
Speaking on Knock-out.
''If Floyd plans on the knock-out then he might get it because this dude has got a glass jaw, I can tell you that,'' he said. ''I'm not sure if Floyd will touch his jaw very well but I know he'll touch him enough to stagger him. If a guy is going to take chances and he's got no defence. He's done.''
