If PBF "unretires" NOW, the timing will be very fishy

I thought he said he was taking a break for boxing for a year or ETC ? I actually don't remember him saying he was retired. And since he has been training recently its obvious he wanted to fight the winner of last nights fight. But i agree he also should fight one of the top boys in his own division like Antonio Margarito/Shane Mosley winner.

But he won't. And as long as he doesn't, he won't be able to shake that perception that he's ducking the division's best. I'm not a Floyd hater by any stretch of the imagination, but I've never bought into the whole PBF at 147 thing. Other divisions, fine... he's proven he's the best. But not at 147. All he's done there is duck the best.

If Margarito and Cotto are the best the division offers, He beats the best easily, at least in Margarito's case. I don't see how anyone could see otherwise. I think Manny is the best fighter he can fight, and the most difficult fight, just like going to 154 against Oscar was, just like fighting Hatton IMO was. These are fighters who's styles have made them bad matchups for Mayweather. I think Cotto could give Mayweather some problems, but would you honestly expect Mayweather to come back to boxing and give Cotto a chance at his title when Miguel got knocked out by Margarito? Now that Manny is in the picture there is really nobody else for Mayweather to fight.

Both Pac & Floyd might actually prefer to fight @ or near 140. They could both have a lot of pop @ JWW.

I still don't see Pacquiao beating Floyd.. even after a great showing last night.. Pacquiao gets sloppy, and floyd will exploit that all night.. I still say the hardest fight for floyd would be cotto.. someone technically sound and has power.. Margarito has the power and relentlessness but floyd will land all night on him just like Cotto did, except he wouldn't get hit as much..

Isn't it he wrote and publish a letter and telling us he is retiring for the reason that he has nothing to prove anymore and he got lots of money? Hope he stays where he is now...

Boxing is good with or without him...
