    Who knows. I do agree with you, Surgeon, in that Mayweather always knew he'd come back. He was never retired. I'll say something which might rile the Floyd fans, though -- he was waiting for the threat of Cotto and Margarito to die down. Now these two have somewhat lost their shine, Floyd comes back out because his world is a slightly safer place.

    I mean no offense to the Floyd fans, but this is how I see it. You can't blame me for that. Floyd himself gave me that impression.
    I know you mean no offense but honestly, I view it as a more dangrous place NOW

    Margarito NEVER, I repeat NEVER could have given Mayweather problems or beat him, Margarito is the oppoent Mayweather beats in a boring fashion.

        And it was the best decision of his career

        Him retiring opened the door to DLH - Pac, which presented Floyd - Pac

        And Pac could be Floyd's legacy defining fight, same with Pac

Mark my words Pac is a different fighter.
          Marquez is a warrior and a skilled genius in there, one of my favourites but he dont have a chance this heavy.

            Yes indeed, since when has Floyd weakness been the uppercut?

              i think the more telling thing is......WHY he came back.

              if he came back, b/c he misses the sport, he'll be fine......

              but if he came back b/c he misses the money, it may show in his performance.

              2 years is a long time to take off from anything, but it'll show in the ring whether he's truly dedicated, or whether he just wants the check.

                I agree, even after Marg beat on Cotto (when i didnt think he was cheating)
                i thought Floyd had the style to embarres him

                  It is vary vary hard to say. He take long time off partying, orgying with men and women. He live in Vegas which is full of satan, so it will not be easy.

                    I expect Floyd to be at least 90% of what he was, and 100% in his next fight. If he loses to JMM it will be because he lost to the better fighter.

                      He'll try to be more offensive and put on a show, but he will probably try and make Marquez come after him first.
