I am estatic that Mayweather is coming back...Heres why.

[el malo]

if floyd beats pacquiao what other rewards and accomplishments sre thier left for floyd to achive realistically?

become P4p#1 again
become undisputed champion of the ww division again
become 154 pound champion again
become lineal champion of the ww division again
become greatest of his era again


i mean what offical title can floyd win after he beats pacquaio that he already hasnt got?

i want to see him do the bold one again. but this time against mosley or cotto and not a bum journeyman in baldomir

Like I said before sometimes you got to give respect where respect is due.
Floyd has done something that hardly nobody has ever done.
Walk away from the sport on top, and people cant stand it.
He is like barry sanders in that reguard.
He left when they was no doubt who the best was and is.

Their is no unfinish business, because their are no undisputed champions out there to fight.

The only fight that makes sense right now is Pacquaio. because he is the pound 4 pound #1 fighter in the sport.
everybody else in the sport need to make a name for themselves.
move up 4 weight classes, AND BECOME A Undisputed Champion in 3 Divisions (The Ring Belt)

and then ask for a fight.




I say floyd only comes back to fight Pacquaio or a undisputed champion in a division.

PERIOD.

because anything else is a lose/lose situation for floyd...

become the people's champ. by taking a fight where the outcome isn't a given, like mosley or cotto. why waste time with PAC or JMM. who here honestly thinks either of those two could beat floyd?

Thats why I said IF Whoever won the Pac Vs May fight still wanted to fight The Cotto Vs Mosley II fight it would be even better...

Key Word IF



Probably Money would retire and that would be fine by me... let the man go out on top... and i would thank him for a great career...

but who's to say he would win? I mean he does still have to fight Manny Paquiao it's not like its a gimmie fight.

If Paquiao wins which...id give hime a 40 something % chance of doing...He would probably be interested in a fight with Cotto or Mosley.

I know your looking at the argument through the eyes of your favorite fighter...but the situation is beyond just Mayweather.

Try to see past a personal agenda.

I'm talking about good for boxing not good for Mayweathers legacy.


BOOM.

thank you, i dont have to respond. i respect floyd's ability but not his lack of respect for the sport. he said once "we dont fight to prove who's the best"

he is already the people's champ.. thats why you think the p4p#1 fighter in the world doesnt even present a challenge to floyd..

"Floyd is more Notorious rather than popular." with the people

Floyd Mayweather is the most "Notorious" fighter in the game... He is without a doubt the most “Famous”
His "Fame" is second to only Oscar among Active Fighters
He is the most "Revered" boxer in the game... Floyd will never be the most Popular (loved) fighter right now because he has chosen to take the bad guy road... it doesnt meaned he isnt popular but he is more Notorious right now rather than Popular
__________________________________________________ ______________________

History


As of right now I don’t think WHAT Floyd is doing is a bad thing....
Some of the most "Famous and successful" people history has ever known
Have been more "Notorious" than Popular... or Have been "Notorious" before they became "Popular"

Al Capone
2pac
Biggie
Ali
Malcolm X
Kobe Bryant
Terrell Owens
Deion Sanders
Britney Spears
Charles Barkley
Scarface (Tony Montana)
The list goes on....

My Point



Floyd notoriety and fame is what sell's the fight's not his popularity ....
Floyd being "Notorious".... sells the fight

People just don’t come to see Floyd lose just like they just didn’t come to see Ali lose...

People come because they are interested in Floyd.
He is a "hot rod" for debate as we see in the millions of threads, articles, stories, and interviews we see made about him....


this is why he is the people champ in the reguards that he has the people's respect and attention, and love and hate

[BOOMbip]

What I'm trying to say is let Mayweather do whatever he wants...He wants to be bigger then boxing and make it a platform do other things fine,great,superb.

But let Real fighters that still want to become great boxers and fight the fighters and the fights that will make them such.

Let them be away from the ****.

Mayweather can fight MAnny... let him pick and choose whoever he wants...

**** I don't care if he fights Wlad at time square on New Years eve @ 12am while being jumped by midgets on motorcycle's... as long as it doesnt effect the fights that I want to see the circus can go on with out a hitch.


But lets not get that confused with what boxing really is...

and what we were trying to get accomplished before Mayweather decided to come back.

I honestly think they will be more competetive than you expect but yes Cotto would be a bigger challenge.

[The_Visitation]

I can't see him going above 140, at least assuming he can still make the weight. With Pacquiao, Hatton and from the sound of things JMM all at that weight what the hell would he want to fight Mosley or Cotto for?

who here honestly thinks either of those two could beat floyd?

At 140, JMM has chances and Pacquiao would be favourite IMHO. Hatton too, at that weight, would be in with a shout.

the fight with JMM would be competitive, no doubt. but there is also no doubt in my mind JMM loses the fight. i dont think fmj gets the ko, nut a wide ud for sure.

and for the record, jmm is one of the best fighters the last 10 years and so is floyd. he's just too small for floyd by about 20 pounds.....
