I think he could if he stays at 47. If he goes to 154 he could hit a road block. Guerrero believes Floyds legs are gone because Roach and a few hbo dingbats have put it out there over that last couple of years.
His legs are not gone and he still fights better off the back foot then anyone in the sport by a long shot.
He has simply adjusted his tactics and is fighting smarter late in his career.

If they haven't gone then they're definitely going. He wasn't standing and trading with Cotto all the time because he enjoys being punched in the face. And getting punched in the face a lot more than you used to doesn't seemt o me to be something you can accurately describe as "fighting smarter".

I don't know about undefeated but I get the feeling he'll draw out a match with Canelo like a long winded 70's rock ballad. He'll make him sweat (if he beats Trout) and can see him going Guerrero, Khan (he was prestaged for Floyd), and going trinket grabbing vs Molina-Smith winner. Bradley needs to right the ship. Guerrero may be a huge underdog but if Mayweathers legs are not what they were, who's are
, Guerrero will show it.
I think Floyd is the greatest boxer of all time, but I have to say no, I don't think he will retire undefeated.
Reason being, he's shown that he isn't the smartest/most conservative guy outside the ring. I say he will retire undefeated, but make comeback after comeback because he needs money, and he'll get caught eventually. I've seen big signs of him slowing down over the past few years.

I think Pacman was the only genuine chance to beat him, but that was 3 years ago. Pacman couldn't beat an egg right now. I see no one to challenge Mayweather and beat him in the next 12 months at least.

Khan is surely going to have to do something meaningful at welter to get a Floyd fight. People aren't going to shell out for a PPV just because the WBC ranked Khan number two welterweight. Floyd is going to have to fight guys like Canelo if he wants the PPV dollars to keep coming in.
Although apparently he's got a guarantted minimum for his next six fights. Surely Showtime aren't dumb enough to give him a massive minimum and then let him pick guys like Khan to fight?

No. Guerrero will beat him
I think he can retire undefeated. Coming back is a different story.
With a 6 fight deal and a promise to stay busy, here's Floyd schedule IMO . . .
Guerrero May '13
JMM End of '13
Khan Cinco DE Mayweather '14
Bradley(if he somehow keep winning)
Pacman
Garcia

As someone mentioned before, if floyd moves up to fight at 154 the risk is intensified.
Floyd has nothing to prove at 154 and he is at a major diadvantage at that weight.
Martinez, canelo and trout need to grow some balls and create their own legacy by moving up in weight themselves and getting in the andre ward mix or fighting each other.
Obviously, everyone wants to fight mayweather as the money involved will be the biggest payday of their career, but these guys need to start creating some type of hype and ppv status about themselves and stop using floyds name.
Retire undefeated, you must be a younger fella, or on drugs like floyd senior and uncle roger maywetaher...
lil floid will close out his career in about 10 years time from now with a $#!tload of losses on his record against lower-level competition, and with a couple more short prison stints to boot.
He's gonna do like Roy Jones did which is to fight mostly 2nd tier guys during his prime, and after his prime is gone, then start fighting the tough guys that people had wanted him to fight all along, except now it's too late and he gets his @$$ whupped all the time. He should've taken the tough fights during his prime when he probably would've won them.
