If Mayweather vs Marquez doesn't happen then it looks as if he could face Spinks which i think is a good comeback fight for him as long as he fights the best after that but why when he's got his own promotional company is he teaming up with Don King?

Oh well, are people gonna complain about Spinks being his tune up? I hope not

God, I'm praying it's not Spinks.

I'm a huge Mayweather fan, but that fight would be a snooze fest.

Spinks is also slick enough, defensive enough and definitely fast enough to pull off an upset against someone coming off a long lay off. It would be a difficult fight for Floyd, IMO.

It's just not something to get pumped about. I love Floyd I want him back real bad, but it's hard to get pumped for Floyd/Spinks. Floyd's comeback should be a huge event.

Not really, Spinks don't got his legs anymore.

Spinks is not the same guy anymore. He might up his game a bit for a Floyd fight, but at some point he will be unable to move. Now Spinks is a pretty good boxer, I always though he was legs an no more but he fought all in the inside against Verno and Latimore (he really did not get hit clean all that much).

Against Mayweather however standing still will cost him (imo), and I doubt that Mayweather has any respect for Spinks power so I do think he will fight in a more fan friendly way.

I consider Spinks as pretty good still but I think Mayweather will beat him, if Spinks saw the final bell I would be very impressed with him.

Yea, I guess but really it is not a bad fight it almost happeaned before. If it happeaned back then it would have been a snoozer but today I think it is a little more fan friendly (Spinks has less legs and his lack of power will not stop Floyd from doing whatever he wants to do). I think Spinks is a really good fighter and could give a bunch of 154 pounders issues that are not as good boxers as him, but I view Floyd as all wrong for him, atleast if he fights like he did against Latimore and Verno.

I agree with you on this.

I actually think that Mayweather-Spinks in 2009 is a much more entertaining fight than it would've been in 2006.

I would give Floyd more credit for fighting Spinks than I would for fighting JMM.
