Tune up fights for PBF

It would sensible for him to take a tune up, he hasn't been in the ring since December 2007. I wouldn't mind if he did take tune up just as long he fights whoever is the man at 147 and/or Manny Pacquiao.

do you think it has to be against atleast a top 10 fighter or would it be ok to the public that he takes an easy fight?

First off im not attacking floyd so all the floyd lovers dont chop my head off. My question is this. Will people except if floyd took a tune up fight? and who would be a good tune up for him. Seeing the marg and mosley are going at it tomorrow than cotto marg will more than likely fight again, the fight that was just signed today with hatton pac also cotto making his comeback after his KO loss. so do you think that he would prolly have to fight a tune up before fighting anyone of the fighters stated here? or do you expect him to jump right into the winner of hatton pac or marg cotto or even marg mosley?

I'm not attacking him either... but most of his career has been tune up fights. I'm not sure the public has the patience for another Bruseles. They are going to want him to step in against someone big, and rightly so.

this is very very true. so you think that the people would demand that he goes after the top guys than?

I would actually prefer Floyd to take a tuneup fight in order to generate interest and hype for his next super fight. Problem is, fighter's like Floyd have huge egos and would shun the fact that they might need a tuneup. I'd like to see a tuneup with Zab Judah...

All the whinin he and his peeps do about $, I don't see him comin back and not goin right for the gusto. Especially since he'd be comin back for Pac, who has a dangerous set of opponents waitin on him. He wouldn't wanna let Pac get damaged or upended by somebody else and put his fight wit em in jeopardy. I think he'd come str8 back for a big fight.

I think he SHOULD get a tune-up fight, but I can't really think of a suitable opponent

Floyd only wants big fights.
