I'm English, but you are otherwise right. Yep, I cannot belittle the appearance of the lady folk. Though way too many of them have gone under the knife.

In some parts of Asia that often can take on two seperate meanings.

Ahem, plastic surgery....

No Tune-up Necessary: Mayweather-Marquez Makes Sense Now

By Kelsey McCarson:

If rumors of Floyd Mayweather’s return to the ring this summer are true, it is a true shot in the arm to the boxing world. Love him or hate him, Mayweather is the best, flashiest and most intriguing fighter in the sport today. His return will immediately garner mainstream interest and appeal.

Boxing needs more Floyd Mayweathers.

Unfortunately, fighters of Mayweather’s caliber only come around once in a generation. He is a rare breed: as skilled and talented as they come with speed and power to boot. He’s the fighter other champions measure themselves against and automatically the pound for pound king when he officially announces his return.

Various reports have Mayweather’s team lining up a comeback fight for sometime in June or July. Most writers are predicting a comeback fight against a b-level opponent.. After all, Mayweather hasn’t fought in 15 months and most fighters returning to the ring after a long layoffs tend need to get a couple rounds under their belts to get things back in order.

This is not the case for Floyd Mayweather. Why? Because Floyd Mayweather is not most fighters. Next to Mayweather’s impressive array of prowess, all other fighters are b-level. Sure, I don’t expect Mayweather to fight a naturally bigger man in a superfight his first fight back. He doesn’t need to step into the ring against Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley just yet, but there is no reason for Floyd not to step in the ring against Juan Manuel Marquez right now.

Sure, Marquez is a brilliant boxer, a true warrior and an all-time great, but what’s he going to do against Floyd? Outbox him? Overpower him? Outthink him?

No, no and no.

Without question, there is no reason for Floyd Mayweather to fight a traditional tune-up. Juan Manuel Marquez is a big name, a great fighter and isn’t currently scheduled to fight anyone else. It’d be a great fight for boxing fans, be internationally appealing to the masses and be a sure win for Mayweather both inside the ring and out.

So don’t do it, Floyd. Don’t be average. You want to be an all-time great, maybe the all-time great? Then comeback and fight big fights and name opponents. Start with Juan Manuel Marquez. Fight the winner of the Hatton-Pacquiao fight. Give Shane Mosley a shot and box the winner of Cotto-Clottey. Step up against the best and be the best. You’re Floyd Mayweather: no tune-up is necessary.

Mayweather wont fight Marquez, it just does not make sense at the present time....

1-JMM would have to jump up 2 weight divisions which would raise several questions within the media as to the legitimacy of the fight

2-Mayweather would be in a lose-lose situation whereby if he did blow JMM apart people would just say he beat up a lightweight.

3-More money to be made by fighting the winner of pacquiao-Hatton

4-Hatton or pacquiao far less risk free for mayweather than JMM

JMM is trying hard to chase Pacquiao... PAC recently made a 2 division jump from 135 to 147... JMM could also do it but PBF is compassionate to JMM's plight and willing to meet JMM at 143 lbs. catch weight for a tune-up fight...

2-Mayweather would be in a lose-lose situation whereby if he did blow JMM apart people would just say he beat up a lightweight.

PBF won't expect much from a tune-up fight with JMM... It's only a preparation for the future super mega huge event fight...

3-More money to be made by fighting the winner of pacquiao-Hatton

JMM is just a tune-up fight planned for July 11 since the winner of May 2 PAC-Hatton fight most probably not yet ready to fight again by July...

4-Hatton or pacquiao far less risk free for mayweather than JMM

IMO, PAC gives the toughest opposition to PBF, JMM next and Hatton last... We've already seen what PBF did to Hatton... PBF KO'ed Hatton by slamming him to the ring post... IMO, same thing will happen in a rematch...

If Hatton wins Manny Pac he wants JMM for a mega fight,while if Mayweather comes back it looks as if he will take JMM as a warm up.That looks bad on Hatton when it put like that anyone agree?

I heard Mosley wanted the winner of Hatton-Pac so he might be another character in all this
