Mayweather jnr out of retirement?

[COACH WEBB]

Then you should be mad at the entire division ducking everyone. not a single signifigant welterweight fight is on the horizon, even with mayweather gone, a year has gone by, nothing resolved except cotto/margarito. and all that did was make things even worse.

good point..very good solid point sir.

[COACH WEBB]

This pic is fucking hilarious.

man that doesn't look ANY thing like Paulie..TRUE TALK.

I don't understand the reasoning of Floyd. If he is coming back for a big payday, and is so tempted by the promise of millions of dollars, why did he retire rather than fighting the De La Hoya rematch, where he was set to pocket upwards of $10 million? And to beat a guy he'd already conquered!

Makes no sense. I think Floyd will stay retired.

NO, he just wasn't allowed to grapple and hold and hit. Cortez took advantage of the rules and didn't allow it to happen after the first few times.

Hatton's style of fighting was done way back in the day...boring style fight.

People want to see fists fly


But I'm sure Ricky will want you to believe it (even though he doesn't), as well as Floyd if he comes out of retirement to promote a rematch....It will be one big reason to help fans pay for it again.

Really? Strange, Cortez went on to referee the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight shortly after that and let them grapple and hold eachother all night long. A referee shouldn't "take advantage of the rules", especially if it benefits one fighters style like it obviously did that night. In-fighting and clinching are part of boxing.

maybe he needed a vacation but decided to call it a retirement, and he knew the big paydays would be there when he came back? Or maybe when he retired he didn't think he would ever want another big payday, but he changed his mind recently?

oh god please keep this asshoe retired. but if he does come back, at least fight williams, cotto, margarito. i'm so tired of mayweather saying he's the best but not fighting the best fighters in his weight class

Mayweather will fight anyone you mentioned if HBO puts up millions like 25-30. Mayweather would beat Cotto & Margarito easily, Williams would pose a tougher challenge. Margarito is too slow for Mayweather and Mayweather would pot shot and KO Margarito in the later rounds in my opinion. Same thing with Cotto. Mayweather is a master at side stepping opponents and pot shoting at angles. Williams reach and height and overall skill would bring out the best Mayweather. Also remember if the rematch against Hatton in late 2009 is true like Hatton mentioned to the BBC after the Malignaggi fight, he will take it because Hatton has a great fan support and brings in the most dough. Mayweather could care less if he fought Joe Schmo. He is in it for GREED. THATS THE HONEST TRUTH TO BE REALISTIC.

I think Floyd comes back if Pacquiao wins, but then again Pac is with Arum so that would be a problem as well.

[Horus]

If Floyd does come back he needs to beat a real WW.

I am a HUGE Floyd fan, but I am getting tired of his World Star Hip Hop videos and him wanting to fight guys he has already beat.

htown you are a great Poster....and funny as hell...
so dont take this as disrespect...just a honest question


When you say Floyd needs to beat a real WW?

You say that like Floyd 1st or 2nd division was WW and he has been fighting Small guys his whole Career....

Context
The WW Division

Cotto's: 2nd Division
Margarito's: 2nd Division
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division
Andre Berto: 2nd Division
Joshua Clottey:2nd Division
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division
Paul Williams:2nd Division
CarlosQuintana:1st Division
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division

If you say Mayweather has grown into the Welther weight division even though that is his 4th Division


PLease Answer this Direct Question:

1.If Mayweather Has grown into a Natural WW, What Have the Other Fighters who have been in the WW division Grown into if that is their 1st or 2nd Division..?
or do you think that Mayweather is the only fighter who Grows in the Division?

(w.a.w)= Walk around Weight
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division (w.a.w) = 150
Cotto's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 170
Margarito's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 174
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division (w.a.w) = 165
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (w.a.w)= 164
Joshua Clottey:2nd Division (w.a.w)= 170
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division (w.a.w)= 160-162
Paul Williams:2nd Division(w.a.w)= 165
Carlos Quintana:1st Division(w.a.w)= 163

Goggle: Fighter Name Walk around Weight

Floyd Mayweather seem like the only unnatural ww in the division to me...when he was their... and the smallest...

So why does he HAVE to fight a real WW? If he never cared for the division, and that is not his natural weight?

Hes actually put himself in a strange position. He yaps about all this money he has and how hes tired of the sport. If he does come back, it will be strictly about the money which would show he talks out of his ass and doesn't have nearly as much bread as he claims.


Boxing has done just fine without him.

Thats what champions do in any division they are in.
