MIAMI — While everyone is looking towards the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight this weekend, Mets catcher Anthony Recker is eying Mayweather's next one.

Recker wants to step into the ring with Mayweather for a boxing match, challenging the world champion to a match for charity — 12 rounds and a charity to be decided upon later.

"Me and Floyd, I'd kick his ass," Recker said.

Mayweather, at 5-foot-8 and 147 pounds, is an undefeated championship boxer and considered to be the best of his generation. He's putting a 47-0 record on the line against Pacquiao in a welterweight fight in Las Vegas.

Recker, a a muscular brick house of a man, is listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds.
