The Perfect Floyd Tuneup?

[Horus]

the point of a tune up is not to be in a tough fight...
the point is to tune up your skills and get a easy win because your next fight is going to be for real. A tune up is basically Paid for public sparring session/

People Saying Mayweather needs to fight berto as a tune up is a joke.
People Saying Mayweather needs to fight JMM as a tune up is a joke.

Those fights are not tune ups period.

A tune up is Margarito vs. Golden Johnson
A tune up is Cotto vs. Jennings
A tune up is Cotto vs. Gomez
A tune up De la hoya vs. Forbes
A tune up is Pavlik v. Serigo Mora

A tune up is not Fighting the #2 P4P fighter in the sport.
A tune up is not fighting The WBC Welterweight Champion of the world.


I swear you guys standards for Mayweather is crazy....


His tune up should be anybody who resembles his next opponent. period.
If he is fighting a southpaw next his tune up should be a southpaw.
If he is fighting a Orthodox fighter next then his tune up should be a Orthodox fighter.

For example if Mayweather plans on Fighting Pacquaio in November or December... His Tune should not be JMM because Pacquaio and JMM are 2 completely different fighters.. a perfect tune up for pacquaio would be a fighter like Yodsanan who is Asain southpaw just like Pacquaio.


A tune up in boxing is the same thing as a scrimmage in football..but the only different is in the tune up we keep score.

Now this is'nt really a competitive fight for mayweather but I have to say,Ricardo Mayorga...A fight buildup/countdown episode to that fight would be HILARIOUS!! Can you imagine what would happen at the press coneference and weigh in?? lol

not sure about that one king...

even if you get mayorga to come down to 147, throwing that free-swinging neandrathal at someone coming back after 2 years off might not be a good idea...

he catches floyd with something and the comeback might never get started

True..I know, is'nt that crazy how a beer drinkin,cigarette smokin,non training,wide swinging fighter like Mayorga can give someone such trouble??I mean damn,look what happened with forrest,trinidad,vargas,mosley.....

I know a Mayorga tune up would never happen..I think i'm just wishing i could see a Mayweather-Mayorga showdown..."The battle of the mouths"..Can you imagine how much **** talkin there would be??

[GoAltYourFace]

just wondering if the fight with the Big Show was a tune up?

[F l i c k e r]

This fight would never happened because there isnt enough money in it but a perfect comeback fight would be against Spadafora. Dude is undefeated, he also hasnt done much in the last few years, some felt that his style would give Floyd trouble, and they get to settle there old score. It would never happened but if all things were equal I think that it would be a very good tuneup

Vitali Klitschko. Once that happens, everyone can stfu.
