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

[Hulk]

Mayweather has to come back.

Someone has to stop Pacquaio from appearing on the cover of Ring magazine every fucking month!

If PBF is planning to have a tune-up fight on July 11, maybe he will pick on JMM who recently called him out and have JMM as his tune-up fight...

That would be quite a tune up! I cannot imagine JMM going up to 147 though. I think even 140 is probably pushing himself too far.

From what I understood, JMM called out PBF and very willing to go as high as 147 in order to fight PBF...

Yep, he did call him out. But it's far too much for JMM at 36 IMO. You never know though.

Well... I don't think we can call JMM a tune up fight... I would rather call it a real test. As much as I do hate Floyd (and the devil knows how much it can be), if he takes JMM as a first fight after his lay-off, he will have much respect from my behalf for that.

No disrespect for considering JMM as a tune-up fight... PBF been on a 15 months layoff and the source said July 11 will be PBF's tune-up fight... If PBF will pick JMM for this date then JMM is his tune-up opponent...

Styles makes fights and I think JMM's style won't be a problem to Floyd Jr. JMM is not an aggressive boxer and if he will just wait for PBF and counterpunch, PBF will just potshot him to a wide UD victory... Aside from the style, JMM is just too small and very old for Floyd... If the young, slick Chris John gave JMM major problems then much more with Floyd whom is 100x more slicker and skillful than John...

JMM is not a real test... PBF has all the advantages (except experience) and will be the heavy favorite to win this match-up... Tune-up fight is a fight where you are expected to win easily... PBF is expected to win easily over JMM...

As much as Floyd irritates the crap out of me I would still love to see him back, just makes you start making all these dream match ups in your head it's brilliant!

That's a great idea two concieded loud mouths go heads up.

At 147, PBF Jr. has all the advantages over JMM... Having the #2 P4P boxer on July 11, I think it will be a good tune-up fight for PBF...

Well it doesn't surprise me really.


I hope he goes after Mosley, Cotto or Pacquiao. All fights i would love to see.

[JazMerkin]

PBF is my favourite fighter, yet to be honest, I'm just not that keen on him coming back. I feel the sport has just started to move on from the last big name fighters, and there's looking to be a chance for a lot of young exciting fighters to make there name. I'm hoping PBF doesn't detract from that. Will be interesting to see who he goes for. Can't see him coming back for any more than 2 fights. I think it may be just the one to see if his hands can still take it.

[holmcall]

My own reaction is that he has played us. He is back and forth like a yo yo. He picks his spots while his body gets a nice rest. That sucks (though it's $mart) as far as I'm concerned. Great fighters fight; they don't sit around and decide when to fight. Yes, he is awsome, but I'm sick of his routine.

I agree and coming out of retirement to fight JMM, is a joke fight for me although good for Floyds empty pockets, it won't tell us anything we don't know. JMM's 35, a bit chinny and nowhere near Floyds physical abilities, I mean just check Jnr's neck out, no way is JMM knocking Floyd out with one shot and that's the only chance he will have, as Jnr's taller, longer reach, better defencive skills and probably higher punch power will be to much for the older, physically weaker JMM, don't get me wrong JMM will put up a good fight but he ain't superman at this stage of his career.

I figured the boo birds would be out in full force.. JMM called out Floyd, not the other way around.. JMM has 10x the amount of balls then Pac, and decided to go against the REAL #1 PFP boxer in the world, instead of a freeze drien drained, not even ranked fighter who hadnt fought at 147 in 10 years.. cough..cough.. Delahoya.

[Cortez The Killer]

How many people actually thought he was "retired" for good?

I always felt it was more an extended leave or vacation where he could relax and pursue the sport in due time.

At 32 he is still young...a lot younger than many other active champs and aside from his hands the physical wear and tear on his body has to be less than the majority of fighters.

He definitely wants the Pac fight, it's certainly the biggest in terms of payday and excitement it would generate.

Good to see other names being discussed as well such as SSM and JMM, but I think he'd rather take a rematch with Hatton before one of those fights. Even though it makes less fight sense and dissapoint a lot of fans it would make a lot more money cents..


It will be good to see floyd back. Hopefully he stays back for a few more fights and this isn't just a big pay day and run thing.
