It comes following speculation Mayweather – who retired from pro boxing in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor – is gearing up to make yet another return to the ring.
Haney revealed while he has no conformation the 43-year-old is preparing to lace up the gloves again, he has opened up on how 40-minute long pad sessions keeps Mayweather in top shape during retirement.
He told iFL TV: “As of now we haven’t spoken about that. I mean is he in shape to come back? Of course!
“You know we trained for so long, we go 30, 40 minutes on the pads straight.
“Is Floyd ready to come back, could he come back? Of course. I think just because of his IQ and how much IQ he has I think he could come back.
“Will he? I don’t know.”
Mayweather this month insisted he would not fight again against an ordinary boxer, citing he has nothing to prove.
But he went on to admit he is not “retired from business” as he appeared to open the door to rematching McGregor or boxing UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Mayweather has revealed he is working to become a trainer, having been inspired by the death of his uncle and former coach Roger.
And according to the multimillionaire’s manager Leonard Ellerbe, passing on his knowledge is at the forefront of his attention right now.
Ellerbe told BoxingScene: “Boxing is his first love. It’s the first thing he knew how to do.
“He’s really passionate about becoming a great trainer. When he makes up his mind to do something, he does it.
“He’s in the gym, putting in the work and perfecting his craft as a trainer.”
