Thread: PBF is he BACK?

'There Goes The Neighborhood': Floyd Mayweather Jr. Resurfaces Making Much Noise!

Thats a good point, who would be the draw? I think it would be Manny, he has a bigger fanbase internationally. I consider him the much bigger star. Could they come to an agreement about the purse split?

Mayweather if Oscar retires is the most well known current boxer in America. That is why all of his last few ppv's have all done relatively well, Mayweather-Judah, Mayweather-Baldomir, Mayweather-Gatti, Mayweather-Dela Hoya, MAyweather-Hatton. We really don't know how big of a name Pacquiao is yet from the fight with Oscar, I guess we can compare the Pacquiao-Hatton fight to the MAyweather-Hatton fight.

Mayweather will sell more PPV's than Pac.

And I hope he is back!

Hate him or not, Mayweather will bring excitement once again. Many, including me, wants to see him loose. His fights keep me on my toes just hoping he gets connected, KOed, etc. Another reason why I miss Naz. Didn't like him until he lost convincingly. His ring entrances, his style, his KOs, etc. There are lots of big fights in the horizon if Mayweather returns.

i REALLY really really really hope this is true.. I hope he fights cotto or margarito instead of hatton or pac but i doubt that will happen.. i feel this way because he'd have a harder time against them, and i'd rather not see him dominate pac/hatton because that's what will happen..

here's to hoping!..

Hhhmmm Mayweather facing Cotto, eh? I wonder how Cotto would do with a young big name in his prime, not a journeyman. As for Margarito, somehow, I can see another Baldomir-like scene where you have a big slow puncher walking forward getting connected with straights, hooks, etc. And having Mayweather move out of the way like a matador with his bull. Maybe going to the ropes on ocassions only to shoulder-roll punches and once again move out of the way to box him to an easy unanimous decision. I can't see Mayweather knocking both though.

Its seems silly to me that in boxing they decide what split they will get before the fight. Why don't they have a system where the winner gets a larger split?

I hope my Bwoy is back.. Please Floyd shut the Pac huggers up once and for all

yea now that i look at it. I dont see cotto beating PBF but would stand a better chance than Margarito since Cotto is faster and a better boxer. I think floyd stops Cotto too.

but i rather see him fight pac just to see how pac fans take a lopsided loss

That sure is a lot of speculative mights,coulds and what ifs for me.Nothing terribly substantive,but I think the pot would be stirred big time if Mayweather chooses to grace us with his precence again.

I think murmers of a Hatton rematch are a lot of fluff and really believe Mayweather....should he return to form as he was when left off,could repeat a victory over Hatton.

Mayweather vs. Pac ?Ugh...ok,huge names and two superb elites going at it.It will do huge numbers.P4P face offs are great but that one seems a bit manufactured Imo.Honestly I would MUCH rather see Pac top out at 140,face off with Hatton and I think Mayweather has to fight and beat Margarito,Cotto or any of the top Welters.Yeah right.As the world turns. I have no doubts Mayweather will be back....and it will only be for the biggest money fight he can get.Then he's out.

Yes, I somehow see it difficult for Cotto and Margarito to beat Mayweather but give Cotto an edge to challenge Mayweather a bit more. This would be Cotto's second time he faces a young big name in his prime and not just another journeyman he is used to fighting who end up rocking him, cutting him, etc.
And yes, I also want to see Pac lose for the same reason you stated. If Pac faced Mayweather, it would be tough for me. I am not sure who I want to see lose on that one. If Pac won, oh man! Imagine how many of the Pac fans would get! At least Pac wouldn't be beating an old worned out passed his prime fighter, he would be winning against a young big name in his prime. I can imagine 20 threads in this forum about how Pac is god. If Mayweather won, we would hear even more trashtalking from him.
It's a toss up. Who would you rather see lose?

The boxing world will be better off with him in it and fighting. As far as all the other jazz goes...him being a douchepickle and whatnot...could care less.

I think the guy is pure comedy outside of the ring. I thought he was a self-absorbed moron...until I saw him on MTV cribs. Then I realized he is a comedian.

Yes Pac, shut PBF's huggers.... and let Mayweather retire for good coz he's a shame to boxing.... err.... I mean his elbows and dirty tactics is a shame to boxing.


Before I forgot, let him also retire for good for ducking margarito, williams and cotto.


Ohhh.. By the way, after Pac beats PBF.... how would you call it JT? That PBF is already retired and past his prime?

Right

Bruce you are such a bore to debate with since you are fairly limited in your knowledge of boxing it makes it difficult to reason with you... I myswell find a 5th grader to talk boxing with
