The Time is Right For a Floyd Mayweather Jr. Return

[ANDROID_DOES]

This writer has no fan maturity. Falling for the same old con. A PBF comeback means exactly nothing unless he fights Margarito. Hoya is shot, Pacquio is too small and Hatton has already been drubbed and never was much good, truth be told.

PB's fights have all been frauds in recent years. To crow after beating the likes of Hoya, Gatti, Mitchell and Hatton would try the patience of intelligent people. But not this writer. He claims the Hoya/PB PPV was well worth the money and he never had a second thought about slapping leather for it.

As long as guys in his position keep lending their imprimaturs to mismatches and con jobs, you the fan are never going to see the fights you want to see and had ought to be able to see because they actually matter.

This writer has the churlishness to suggest that Mayweather can reclaim P4P #1 status with a win over the likes of Hoya or the miniature Pacquio. Maybe Lennox Lewis can come out of retirement and fight Calzaghe for current P4P honors. Makes about as much sense.

Mayweather can come out of retirement to show he is the best welterweight in the world by fighting Margarito, or he can stay retired as far as I am concerned. One more con job will not save boxing but further eviscerate it.

floyd doesnt have to fight margarito. a fight with pacquiao will be just as intriguing though i still think floyd wins. Maybe he tries to flirt with a 160 pounder. He very much may fight margarito that would be great!

Did I just read that guy say Mayweather was attractive? Wrong on so many levels. He should have his penis removed

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Maybe because Mayweather is a not a real WW unlike these guys. Also Mayweather most fights were not at WW. He is not a real WW, he bloody come from 130

DLH also comes fron 130 at DLHs resume at WW ****s on Floyds resume too!!!!! And mosley came from 135 so dont come with this BS that his not a WW.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

He's not a real WW himself ****er! I hate when people act as if PBF is a true WW he's not! He's a flyweight who was at his best at 135. PERIOD. The rest is a bonus. Margarito has a loss for Williams and he needs to fight him and leave PBF alone. I'd love to see him fight Pacquiao though.

He a Flyweight(112 pounder)? I dont think so. I bet Floyd cant make 130 anymore. Saying he is a flyweight is nonsense!!!!

I miss watching him box. I don't understand how people that loves to watch boxing hate Floyd. So what if he's an arrogant **** talker, his skills can do it all. Fight inside (pocket), outside, angles, accuracy, defense, reflexes, ring generalship, boxing IQ and his speed. With all those skills we never see him fight his heart out... Which is probably why he's a villain. So it makes sense.

By Dave Sholler - Boxing is much like a Thanksgiving Day turkey. When cooked right, its ingredients blend to make the most appetizing sport on the planet. However, when prepared wrong, boxing usually tastes bland, dry, or overdone.

As we look forward to slicing the holiday boxing bird this year, it is clear that one vital ingredient is missing. In a sport that has plenty of side dishes and stuffing, it is glaringly evident that boxing is missing its gravy. While we have been fortunate enough to have some decent bouts in recent weeks, one must peel back the skin to reveal that boxing’s meat is in need of some serious ****es.

Look no further than recent pay-per-view numbers and the struggling economy as proof. Fewer than 200,000 people tuned in to watch Kelly Pavlik serve up a duck against Bernard Hopkins. Only a few thousand more watched Joe Calzaghe carve up Roy Jones. While promoters can forever blame a poor consumer market, the argument can be made that boxing fans just aren’t up to trimming their wallets for meatless, yet pricey pay-per-view cards. [details]

This is a terrible time for Floyd to come back, the people who chased him into retirement are still active!

Honestly, it was watching the Jones-Calzaghe and now Pacquiao-DLH 24/7's that made me realize how much I miss Mayweather. I can't stand the dudes trash talk and arrogance but it finally hit me that it's all for show. Mayweather made 24/7 awesome. He knows how to hype a fight. Admit it. Perhaps he can't always deliver a knockout or fight in the same ****y arrogant fashion as he talks but regardless he gets peoples interest in a fight. I watched his fights always hoping to see him get knocked out cold and it just wouldn't happen which would build my hopes up even more for the next time he fought. Funny thing is now I am truly a fan of his. I've always admired and been in awe of his skill in the ring but have just recently come to appreciate his salesmanship outside of it. I really hope he comes back and I think the people who despise him hope he does too. Boxing definitely needs a villian right now because it definitely makes the sport that much more fun and entertaining and right now no one else plays that role as good as Floyd. I still hope if he comes back that he fights the best to silence the critics but I'll admit that I'd be all for a Pacquaio-Mayweather tango. Either way, when and if he comes back, I'll be rooting for him.

i was just about to post what you just posted. i agree with you 100 %. i always went agianst him but he would always shut me up. especially how in 24/7 they said hatton has the best chance of beating floyd. yet he got ktfo in 10. damn that got me soo tight !!

[boxing2106]

im currently watching this tecate fight and im enjoying it. 2 mexicans boxing and coming forward (not slugging) but floyd style is not liked by many. but its drama and ppl like that. if mayweather fights the best WW he will be reconized as great as he is. if he comes back. well idk abut the layoff but i doubt it will take a toll cuz hes young but il root for him if he comes back

i beleive floyd will one day return, and it most likely would be a rematch vs de la hoya if oscar knocks pacquiao out dec.6, which almost everyone expects him to do cuz a win by the decision would hurt oscar if anything.

but i think he should remain retired, he will never be able to please everyone. people want him to fight margarito, williams, berto, and any other up and coming hot boxing star on the rise.

they want him to lose by any means necessary, his ****iness makes alot of people upset(especially the HBO commentators), just because he talks alot of ****, but who cares, he backs it up.

castillo gave him his toughest fight the first time, he fought him again and cleared that up by beating him in convincing fashion.

he destroyed a more powerful boxer in corrales(RIP) when many thought he would be ko'd

baldomir was supposed to be the strongest opponent he ever faced, many beleived floyd was no match for him. but then when he easily won, they all forgot and started saying it was a mismatch and that beating him meant nothing.

he beat a more powerful and heavier de la hoya and made it seem effortless. oscar outweighed him by 15 pounds and it meant nothing cuz floyd's boxing is second to none. but instead of giving props, they wanna talk about oscar's jab not being thrown, because floyd was tagging him with ease everytime he tried

he beat a prime hatton who was undefeated.

floyd does not need to come back, he doesnt need boxing, boxing needs him. no matter how much you hate him, you will buy his fights and listen when he talks.

his middle name is "money" so hes gonna take the fight that offers the most
