Floyd Mayweather has said 'it took 19 years but they'll talk about it forever', as he posed with 22 belts won during his career, including WBC, WBA and IBF titles.

The undefeated champion, whose career included 49 wins - 26 by knockout and 23 by decision - posted the photo onto his Facebook page.

The 38-year-old posed with belts including his WBC Super Featherweight, IBF Welterweight and WBA (Super) Welterweight.

Mayweather has continued to make the most of his retirement with a trip to see Los Angeles Clippers face Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Having hung his gloves up for good in September, the undefeated boxer was courtside at the Staples Center to watch the NBA pre-season clash between the two fierce California rivals in Los Angeles.

And Mayweather witnessed the Clippers beat last season's NBA champions 135-90 in one of the final warm-up matches before the regular season starts next week.

Mayweather ended his career by outclassing Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in September, and has been enjoying something of a retirement roadshow ever since.

The 38-year-old was with English light-welterweight fighter Ashley Theophane in Las Vegas on Tuesday, following a trip to Cuba to visit a gym last week.

He has also had time this month to head to Miami, see another NBA pre-season game between Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers and take a holiday in the French Polynesia with popstar Justin Bieber.

The absence of Mayweather has left a gaping hole in the boxing calendar, but it's a gap that one of his former victims, Saul Alvarez, is aiming to fill when he fights Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas next month.

Both men were beaten by Mayweather, but for Alvarez the 2013 defeat was the only loss of his career so far.

The Mexican admitted he hoped for a rematch with Mayweather, but is not dwelling on the fact it won't happen as he aims to moved forward with his career.

'[The loss] hurt my pride,' said Alvarez. '[But] I do not feel like it's a thorn in my side.

'Obviously I would have liked to face him again, but this rematch was requested and nothing happened.

'I believe that it's already put back in the past, but that really helped me to improve and move forward in my career. So I keep looking ahead.'
