How fast could Floyd Mayweather run a mile? a 5k?
I'm guessing tomorrow he could drop 4:35 and 16:45 give or take.

I would imagine he has better endurance than speed? Maybe 17min?
Supposedly 50 Cent Says Mayweather Ditched A Strip Club At 3 A.M. To Run Six Miles
This gives no indication of his ability, but if it is true, it shows the guy doesn't mind running.
I guess he could run a sub-6 mile on his own. If Pac is chasing him he may run a sub-5.
In the article it says he does 5:45s in training. Based on this, I think he could run 4:10 and 14:30.

He's running 9 minute miles. It's so slow that the girl can't even keep her bike upright.
There's something very, very wrong with this picture:
Yeah, what's that whitey doing there.
The question is: fit for what? Taking punches? Dodging punches? Standing? Giving punches?
I say 5:15 for the mile and 20:40 for the 5k.
LOL at the people on here saying that Floyd could barely crack 6 or even 5. He's a professional athlete and puts in around 30-40 miles a week. I bet he's faster than a lot of you posting on here, and he happens to be able to kick your ass while doing it. I'm sure if he specifically starting training for running he could go 4:20s for the mile and maybe sub 15:00 for the 5k, but I don't think he wants to have the build of a 12 year old adolescent girl like most of you on here who are 5'9 5'10 130lbs.
He has just stopped two sparring partners, forcing one to turn his back and take a knee. (Mayweather grabbed him from behind and pulled him to his feet, as if having a man on his knee in his ring were an affront, and immediately called for the next boxer.) He has hit the heavy bag for 15 minutes, the speed bag for 10. He has worked the mitts with his uncle Roger, the nonstop slap of leather on leather like piano notes, and done body work with assistant trainer Nate Jones, a hydrant-shaped man who wore a body protector and still struggled to keep his balance under the weight of the blows. He has taken two 5-pound dumbbells and stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror and rhythmically punched the sky for two sets of three minutes each. He has thrown roughly 8,000 punches in two hours. He then retired to his locker room, where he held court for a few minutes and changed into tights, a sweatshirt and a ski cap to combat the elements of the 83-degree night. He finished off the ensemble by adding a pair of colorful boxers and then ran 5.44 miles in under 37 minutes. "Trains like he's broke," says former world champion and current sparring partner Zab Judah. As I watch over the next three weeks, there will be days when he does not look as sharp, when the reality of his 38 years will infringe on any suggestion of invincibility. But on this day there is only one answer I can give: Yes, he is boxing very well.

I would say you are about right. My brother was a boxer and he ran just about everyday just like a runner. He ran one XC meet in H.S., he ran 18:2x on a hilly course in basketball sneaks. I was in that race, he went out way too fast and was walking when I caught up with him. He was only 17 at that time and hadn't done any XC training with the team. He had a 2 mile course he ran; I am sure he could run much faster in his mid-20s when he was running 5 miles every day. Boxing is very aerobic and in many ways is closer to running than any other sport. A pro middle or welter to middleweight boxer would have no problem running a sub-5 mile and someone like Floyd Mayweather who runs up to 10 miles and who also run hills and intervals is probably capable of 4:30.
He runs 3-4 times a week at 8:30 pace... so he could go sub 23.
When Pac is done with him he will never run again.
