    Go check Espn, or his recent training video in the U.K. The excitement is there. Just that more people want to see Mayweather vs Pacquiao

        There was a lot of excitement for the Floyd come back, but not as much as Ali, I weren't around at the time obviously but judging how big a name Ali is it must of been huge.

            It might be like Ali coming back to fight MW champ Nino Benvenuti, but making him come up to HW, except with only a year and a half layoff, instead of 3 1/2 years, and if Floyd was 10 times as great, like on the level of Ali. Yeah, it'd be the same

              Yeah because Lightweight is 4 weight classes below 144...

                  Honestly, I wouldn't say it is a fair question. People still have Mike Tyson, Holyfield, and Lewis stuck in their head.

                      This is a forum for diehard boxing fans. Of course he's going to be talked about a lot here. As for the casual fans, and boxing media, there really isnt a sense of excitement. He had an interview on ESPN. Ok, and so did Mosley. Now had he came back to fight Pacman, and the promotion would've been off the charts, then i'm sure he would be talked about everywhere u go. Fact is, he's coming back to take on a LW, and it isnt drawing much interest from the boxing world.
