    He's all talent and no push. If he ever starts fighting for his legacy again, I'll be interested.
    John Kitna Week 3 starter.

    Go BIRDS!

      I thinks it's bull****...Mayweather just needs a reason to come out of retierment... The real reason is probably he just wants to get back in the spotlight...I'm pretty sure he's feining for some attention by now.

      I hope he fights Mosley.

      I would be fine with Pacman as well.

      I think that is what he's really considering...with a darkhorse being JMM.

          Sweet, sounds like the man really is coming back to the ring. I'm excited for this whether you're a hater or supporter, you know you'll be paying attention.

            If Floyd comes back and fights Marquez, I'll have to speak out about that, because I dont wanna see that fight.

            The Mosley fight is the one he should take, Unless he is shot, he wins that fight, beats the no 1 WW and gets back his P4P status imo.

            Or Manny, but for me it probably has to be one of those two.

              i didn't know what that was about, but then he went on to say that Floyd has only fought 1 title fight against a black fighter in his career. Maybe he is on to something. either way, i would love to see it, the Mosley fight that is. But i want to make sure Floyd is still floyd 1st.

                it doesn't have to be 1 of those 2 right out the gate. He cna get a tune-up, but it would really add to his legend if he could ge off the couch and beat 1 of them 2 in a floyd-esque kind of way.

                  Thats just it, people want him to fight the top dog right away. He's been retired for a about a year and a half. His timing is probably off and who knows what type of condition he has kept himself in. He more than likely wont be in top form right off the couch. I think a Marquez fight is acceptable for his first fight out. After that, I would expect him to step it up.

                    I'll be glad to see my boy back in the fight game! Mosley, Pac, Cotto, those are the fights that I want to see in that order. After that with his legacy sealed one last fight and that would be with PWill if he keeps on winning.

                      JMM is a gross mismatch IMO.

                      Mosley, Pacquiao, Cotto...those are the three I'm interested in. Hatton II? No thanks, but if he beats Pac I will admit he would be on a short list of deserving foes.
