Yep, PBF beats JMM easily and having beat the current #2 P4P in a tune-up fight will create a bigger buzz for the super mega huge event fight ahead late this year for PBF...

Tho JMM is the smaller boxer, he did called out PBF and no one can criticize PBF for taking on the smaller boxer whom he's expected to blast out easily... PBF just answering JMM's challenge...

JMM a perfect tune-up opponent for PBF...

First off, where has it been said that he WILL be coming out of retirement?

Anything concrete?

Nothing concrete yet but there's so much rumors about PBF's impending return and July 11 is the date being suggested around that's why I started my 1st post of this thread "Granting PBF will..."

So what are you talking about? Floyd will never, I repeat, NEVER fight a half decent Welter as a tune up.

ur right,I kind of assumed he was with all the talk on the forum lol. If he did come back though seing as its a "tune up" JMM would be the most lucrative opponent IMO.

Everyone is picking Marquez, but i would like to see him fight a genuine Welterweight in any tune up fight. Clottey or Berto?
Ultimately any Floyd comeback leads to a Mosley or Cotto match up before any thoughts of a Pacman or God forbid Hatton rematch! I am assuming he will be fighting at 147lb so why not a genuine top 10 current Welter?

Clottey and Berto already have scheduled fights... Clottey to fight Cotto on June 13 (i pick Clottey to win this one) and Berto to fight Juan Urango on May 30...

I agree but Berto's handlers would be stupid to put him in this fight.. REALLY stupid..

Clottey would be very interesting, but i see it too much of a risk for Floyd against a big guy like Clottey.

with that said.. i've got nothin.

[Chris Yordan]

I wanna see Floyd get his WBC belt from Berto.

Berto will be fighting Juan Urango on May 30... I don't think he'll be ready to fight again by July 11...

if indeed floyd will want his return to be a tune up and not risk throwing himself straight into the deep end after 18months out then........


Joshua Clottey - Could jump straight back into the sport as a world champion and get himself firmly on the top of the ladder with a win over a durable yet very beatable joshua clottey.

Kermit Cintron - Mayweather return will of course be all about Mayweather and what a way to bring yourself back into the reckoning with what should be a fairly straight forward victory that could also demonstrate that the speed hasnt gone and he still is able to blow guys out like he would do to kermit.

Luis Collazo - Still comes with quite a bit of rep despite getting beat by hatton, berto and mosley he has been the distance with all 3 and on all 3 occasions been unlucky not to get a decision. Its a risk for floyd but one he`ll be utterly confident of rising to and collazo will have one final chance at the big time.

Perhaps the biggest indication of Mayweather Jnr's come back yet...


'Reports in America suggest the retired Mayweather Jr, who beat Hatton in 2007, is ready for a return to the ring.
And his father confirmed he has started training again, saying: "Little Floyd is back in the gym but I'm training Ricky Hatton now.'
