Mayweather out of retirement in 2009

I think they would both be the same height.

You know what I mean.:Chuck:

Depends on how Ricky does with Chris Eagles or whatever his name is.

if Floyd came back to rematch DLH or Hatton, his legacy would be crucified.

which is probably why he retired this year going into the DLH rematch anyway.

coming back in 2009 to face Hatton again is a gigantic waste of time for all parties involved.

Floyd was on Showtime tonight. Reiterated he is not coming back and said he didn't leave because of motivation or boredom. Just wants to watch his kids grow and spend more time with his mother. Seems pretty convincing.

There's no meaningful fight left for Floyd, $ wise and/or legacy wise. Except for MAYBE Hatton, if he convincingly beats Paulli.

All of the unbeaten guys are losing their 0's(Cotto, Williams, soon Berto), every guy that is the top guy will lose(Margarito will continue to lose, so will Williams and others). So I don't see a huge fight great for his legacy, like Miguel Cotto could have been.

And then the big money fights like Oscar and Hatton may be done soon.

But I will agree that Hatton would be the most likely opponent IF Mayweather comes back. But I doubt it.

Money is probably the biggest factor, but Mayweather nickname aside.

Why do you think he retired this year .. if he was set to make an easy $20 Million or so (prob more) off the DLH rematch.

then again Hatton would be a much easier opponent for Floyd. (not to mention the easier opponent to hit)

it still amazes/depresses me that at the top of his game, the biggest fights being talked about for Mayweather were DLH and Hatton rematches.

that didn't happen with the other biggest boxing stars, shame it went that way with Floyd.

Floyd is never going to rematch Hatton. Floyd has been quoted, but you know how that goes that he will face either Pac if he beats Dlh or the winner...if they rematch of Williams/Margs. They are saying it is a one shot deal.

LOL..... The funny thing is, after Fats gets beat by Malignaggi, you'll still be saying there will be a rematch. It isn't happening.

Floyd is not coming back. The $7 million is almost nothing to Floyd Mayweather...he probably even already got a large sum of it back, assuming he has insurance.

the only way there will be a rematch is if Floyd blows all of his money like most rich, black athletes in this era do. And that would be a tune up fight.

Like I said: Here first.
