    Default Mayweather coming back?!!! July 11th!!!

    Sources: Floyd Mayweather Jr. close to return to ring - ESPN

    Floyd Mayweather Jr., who hasn't fought since December 2007 and retired as the undefeated pound-for-pound king in June, is planning to fight again -- possibly as soon as July 11 -- two sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com.
    "He is coming back. I've been around him. He's ready to dance again very soon," said one source, who recently spent time with Mayweather and has known him for years. "He's itching to go. The way he sounded, he is willing to take on whoever they throw in his face. He would do the [Manny] Pacquiao-[Ricky] Hatton winner, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez. The only one he doesn't have an interest in is [a rematch with] Oscar De La Hoya. But in Floyd's mind, he knows there is one Godzilla, and that's a fight with Pacquiao."
    Mayweather has been working out regularly in his Las Vegas gym, sparring and is in great shape, according to one of the sources.
    Before Mayweather fights one of the big names, both sources said Mayweather's team has talked to HBO about the availability of July 11, the network's date for that month's edition of "World Championship Boxing."
    Mayweather, whose last four bouts, and five of his last six, have been on HBO PPV, has expressed an interest in fighting on HBO rather than pay-per-view for a possible tuneup bout ahead of a possible fall fight with the winner of the May 2 Hatton-Pacquiao bout.
    HBO, however, would have to come up with a substantial license fee to make it work, so it remains to be seen if a bout on the network could be made. A summer comeback fight for Mayweather, who has been dogged by IRS issues, could also go on pay-per-view instead.
    HBO also has another dilemma. One of the reasons it has not committed to giving Main Events and Golden Boy Promotions the July 11 date for a fight that is being negotiated between cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek and former two-division champion Bernard Hopkins is because it is also talking to Mayweather about the date, said one of the sources, who has knowledge of HBO's issue.
    "They don't want to upset Floyd and they hope the situation resolves itself," the source said.
    HBO president Ross Greenburg was tight-lipped on the matter.
    "Not only do I have no comment, it's premature to discuss," Greenburg told ESPN.com on Wednesday. "There are no real substantive talks."
    But has Mayweather or one of his advisers contacted HBO about a summer fight?
    "I'm not confirming or denying that," Greenburg said. "I'm not going to comment. Call me back in a few weeks."
    Talk about a Mayweather comeback has swirled for months.
    In December, Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs), who turned 32 on Feb. 24, told his advisers, Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe, that they were free to listen to offers for fights.
    Earlier this month, Mayweather's father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., who trains Hatton, told media on a teleconference to discuss Hatton-Pacquiao that his son's ring return was imminent.
    "Of course, there is no question about it," Mayweather Sr. said. "He's trying to get a fight right now, as we speak. He's gonna fight again."
    Haymon could not be reached for comment. Ellerbe did not return numerous telephone messages or e-mails.

    Hope this is true.

    -.- and Marquez, and Cotto, and Mosley... fuck I hope this is true. I wonder who he will be fighting. I usually don't jump on board this early, but I have been itching for him to get back into the ring, nobody fights like him, and thats why he is my fav. in the sport.

    Well if this is true It would be fucking awesome!

    I really want to see the Pretty Boy back in the ring, sure he's flashy and arrogant and seems to have the mental age of a 14 year old member of Violent D's street gang but he's an amazing fighter and for the good of boxing we need to see the big fights that could arise.

    Him and Manny would be great, him and Mosely maybe even better. Who knows even Cotto if he can bounce back and win a belt back.

    Fingers crossed

    Its funny I've always though that his identity outside the ring is polar opposite to how he conducts himself in the ring. He so composed, so calculated, and so risk free. When I see him outside of the ring I think how can this punk ass bitch fight, but in the ring he's a completely different person.

    Very true as a fighter he is such a different person then he is outside the ring...Outside the ring he is like a little kid who is screaing "Lookl at me guys I am cool, Really I am look"...and becomes the excat opposite in doing so...In the ring he is a professional, mature, relaxed and after his fight he is even humble at times.....

    I don't get the guy...It is almost as if he is trying to prove something else besides what he has as a professional......

    As much as I dont like Mayweather, its a smart move if he does come back to have a tuneup before taking a huge fight. Not surprised hes returning though.

    I hope he doesn't come back!! All he is gonna do is pick and choose who he will fight and for how much money. Boxing needs more people like JMM who is willing to fight the best. PBF can do us all a favor and continue rapping or doing whatever the hell he does but not boxing.

    Floyd isnt willing to fight the best?

    He said he would come out of retirement for Pacquiao, Mosley or JMM And you say he isn't willing to fight the best?

    forget about it. PBF will be a pretty boy always and forever. Just because he doesn't lose doesn't make him the best.

    He will NOT fight a real opponent <140 aside from DLH and Zab we all got to see where they really were as fighters. Can we say "hand picked" opponents??

    He will continue to hand pick his ooponents I.E. no Mosley, no Cotto, no Paul Williams, no nothing, just little guys. He will definitely pick someone who has no chance of KOing him. You have to think he doesn't want to go out like SRL did, right?

    He has pillaged boxing and brought nothing to the sport but shame. He takes everyone's money from the fights and waves it in their face. Don't people get tired of seeing that crap?

    Oh yeah F*** PBF. Almost forgot.

    Tell you what. Guys that will beat Floyd. Nate Campbell, Guzman (barely), Pacman (barely), Cotto, Mosley, Kirkland, and Williams. He will not fight the last 4
