Who should Floyd's comeback/tuneup fight before a megafight be against?

he should fight berto for the WBC title in his return. then manny then just retire.

If it ain't Pacquiao, then Martinez or Berto. Simple as that. I'd only want to see Bradley if it was at 140 and that isn't happening. Martinez would not be considered a tune up fight

Martinez, and no I do not consider him a tune up. I would also say that I'd be more excited for Mayweather-Martinez than Mayweather-Pacquiao, it's the fight I've wanted to see for a long time now.

If Ray Leonard can fight Hagler after a 3 yrs hiatus, I can't see why Floyd can't fight Pacquiao after a little over a year absence (which would be the case if by some miracle the fight happens in November or December). You watch the Mugabi fight? Hagler couldn't slip punches as well as he used to, he got hit a ton, not the same legs. Pacquiao right now is clearly a more dangerous opponent than Hagler was when Leonard fought him. Just saying, not to justify who Mayweather chooses to face when he returns.

A Cotto fight would be a confidence builder for Mayweather, isnt it I've been reading stories about him and Cotto planning to work together, maybe Floyd should considered a fight, Miguel wants it.

Whether people want to admit it or not, bars ARE set in sports. That's what separates guys we'll talk about for years to come to guys who are hot today, gone tomorrow. Nobody is saying Floyd should follow Leonard's exact plans (as every fighter should follow their own). My thing is I believe Floyd is physically capable of fighting Pacquiao without needing a tune up. Sue me if I used Ray Leonard as an example. Name me 3 fighters from THIS genration that have done what Leonard did.

Before its all said and done. He will fight Amir Khan and Saul Alvarez.

No offense, but what you believe to be the case, may not always be the actual case.

Ignorant in that, one, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other. Floyd Mayweather is not Sugar Ray Leonard. What Sugar Ray Leonard done in his career, isn't some kind of bar that gets set for what Floyd Mayweather should do in his career. And saying "well so and so did it, so you should too", is one of the lamest ways to look at things. Basically, you're saying that ANYONE who has been out of the ring for 3 years or less, should be able to come back and immediately fight the absolute best fighter available. All because of what Sugar Ray Leonard did. See how stupid that sounds? Whether people want to admit it or not, bars ARE set in sports.

Ignorant in what way? Leonard had an injury, was out of the sport for a while. Came out from a longer hiatus than Floyd's ever experienced, and went in straight to fight the Middleweight Champion of the World. Did or did this not occur?

No one, since that would make him look more gangster in the end.

I say his tune up should be against either Canelo ALvarez or Cotto those are two easy tune ups against guys who are willing to get busted up

fight pac, earn $50 million and go back to vacationing...forever.

Who should it be? Berto I guess since he has to have another tuneup for some reason. Who will it be? Nonito Donaire if he's still high on the mythical PFP list would be my guess. If not Donaire, my guesses are between Katsides, Paulie, Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz, or Yuri Foreman. Berto is far too risky to be a tune up, and seems to be getting better with every fight.

don't hold your breath on floyd coming back anytime soon..... and if he does comeback, whoever he fights in his comeback tune up, floyd will make it out that he is taking on the worlds best of the best........ look, floyd has squandered his prime and his career, he is nothing but a side show and cliche' of a stereotypical boxer.......... maybe he'll fight ricky hatton, by the time floyd comes back hatton might come back, then floyd can talk about how great he is, or maybe fight a maliganggi and do the same thing, only thing is, mayweather would never be able to KO maliganggi!!! haha. either way, he could fight zelenoff and say he's the greatest ever...... until floyd conducts himself as a professional and a human being, he's just a joke and should be given the same attention as a kid on a sugar high temper tantrum............ Mayweather vs Zelenoff would make me very happy.

Floyd will eventually come back, and in an effort to be a part of a superfight. Hopefully it will be against Pacquiao. Who would you approve or accept as his comeback/tuneup fight before a megabout? It's unlikely Mayweather will be willing to go straight for a Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez without a tune up. So who would you like to see him comeback against before a megafight? Let's figure this out before he eventually names someone and we all start b*tching about it. don't hold your breath on floyd coming back anytime soon..... and if he does comeback, whoever he fights in his comeback tune up, floyd will make it out that he is taking on the worlds best of the best........ look, floyd has squandered his prime and his career, he is nothing but a side show and cliche' of a stereotypical boxer.......... maybe he'll fight ricky hatton, by the time floyd comes back hatton might come back, then floyd can talk about how great he is, or maybe fight a maliganggi and do the same thing, only thing is, mayweather would never be able to KO maliganggi!!! haha. either way, he could fight zelenoff and say he's the greatest ever...... until floyd conducts himself as a professional and a human being, he's just a joke and should be given the same attention as a kid on a sugar high temper tantrum............

Doesn't Maidana want a piece of him? :lol1:

Why not Cotto? From what alot of people on this site and Mayweather fans seem to think that Cotto is washed up. If this is to be true, he brings a bigger name than all the rest and should be an easy victory, which is all Mayweather cares about anyways.( always handpicking his opponents for a sure win) I still think Cotto would give him trouble, but thats coming from a bias Cotto fan. Mayweather has nothing to lose in fighting him now if he is all washed up. Bigger name, more money, and another title. So I say make this his tuneup fight and prove he is as great as he says he is. I think Cotto would be in good position to get that fight.. He draws enough. Only potential issue being business with Uncle Bob. I think Amir Khan is definitely a favorite for the Mayweather shot. Mayweather really liked his experience against Ricky Hatton with the British fans. Khan can actually draw and has been on PPV already. That fight sells. Berto and Bradley don't sell. I think Khan would have the best chance and it would build more storyline for a Pacquiao showdown.

a grizzly bear that hasn't eaten in 2 weeks.... That's not right man... For his comeback he'll fight something overweight. He doesn't fight starved opponents, come on now.
