‘I AIN’T IN SHAPE’
Floyd Mayweather admits he’s just an old man despite crushing Tenshin Nasukawa
Boxing legend needed just 136 seconds to knock down his Japanese opponent THREE times before the towel was thrown in
FLOYD MAYWEATHER has incredibly admitted he isn't "in shape" - despite crushing Tenshin Nasukawa in their exhibition fight in Japan.
The undefeated boxing legend needed just 136 seconds to dispose of a man two stone lighter than him in what turned into huge mismatch.

Moment Floyd Mayweather leaves Nasukawa in TEARS with 136-second stoppage
It led to many boxing fans on social media declaring it to be "a fix" - but to anybody who knows the sport it was only going to go one way.
Mayweather has won all 50 of his pro fights, hardly looking in any danger in most of them, and will go down in history as one of the pound-for-pound best ever.
But despite this demolition job on the Japanese mixed martial artist, Mayweather admitted he was far from his best.
He said: “You know me, I’m just an old man.

“I ain’t in shape, body ain’t in shape, I’m just an old man trying to make it."
And make it he did - with the 41-year-old making more than £7million for the easiest of night's work.

He earlier posted on Instagram: "What if I told you I was making $9,000,000 for 9 minutes of sparring in Tokyo Japan.
“Would you do the same if you were me? I like to call it a 9 minute walk thru."
When the first bell sounded the unbeaten five-weight world boxing champion strolled out with a grin on his face as his 20-year-old took to the centre of the ring.
Nasukawa looked completely out of his depth in his first boxing fight, swinging wildly in an attempt to land a blow on his opponent.
One landed on the glove of Mayweather, and that appeared to sting him into action as he returned with a sharp flurry to deck the home favourite with a short left to the body.
The fight descended into farce when another dig from Mayweather left Nasuwaka staggering back like a drunk before falling down for a second time.
And another half-hearted punch to the side of the head did for the kickboxer a third time - and his corner threw in the towel after 136 seconds of the fight.
