Lets Say Floyd Mayweather does come back......

Comin back and beatin a lower level opponent wouldn't do shit to convince anybody he's a p4p elite again.

He comes back at 140, and fights a tune up fight. Lets say its against someone the level of Edner Cherry, Gianluca Branco, or even Demetrius Hopkins (someone just to shake the rust off). He doesnt get the KO but wins comfortably (lets say 10-2 or 11-1) but its a pretty uneventful fight. The question is if a scenario likethis occurs... Where do you place him back in the P4P picture? Im a huge Floyd fan but I wouldnt put him in the top 10 if that happened. In my mind though, I could never ever ever see that happening. 1st off I dont think he would fight any guys like that. There too beneath him. If he did fight them though, they would definatly be KO. No way he would look boring back near his natural weight and against those guys. He would dominant them Gatti style, even with the rust. I say that he will either fight a Bradley, JMM, or the Pac-Hatton winner. More then likely it will be JMM or the Pac-Hatton winner and Im pretty sure he will just try to go straight to Pac if he wins

He'll be number 1 again, no one has dethroned him. Pacquiao was made number 1 by default after Mayweathers retirement. A win over the number 2 P4P(JMM) at 140 will just solidify him as still the number 1 P4P. I do agree though that a dominant performance over Marquez would catapult him to the top.

In the scenerio you provided I voted outside the top 10. To place Floyd atop the Pound 4 Pound rankings would be a descredit to Manny Pacquiao. Upon returning Floyd needs to do something significant in order to be recognized.

he might have a different definition of "tune up" than I do also. He might consider someone the level of Torres or Holt a "Tune Up" fight.
