    Roger Mayweather, Floyd's uncle and trainer, said the layoff would not hinder his nephew against Marquez and cited examples of other star fighters who were off even more than two years and came back with big victories.

    "Well, I know one thing about layoffs and I know about fighters," he said. "If a fighter got skills -- the greatest fighters in the world had layoffs. What did you think Sugar Ray Leonard had? He had a [three]-year layoff. He had two eye detached-retina surgeries, right? But he still beat the greatest middleweight. He beat Marvin Hagler when he was laid off [three] years. Sugar Ray Robinson was laid off three years; that's the greatest fighter on the globe. Ali was laid off three years. So I mean, Floyd ain't going to be the only guy that's been laid off in boxing.

    "Great fighters have something in common. They were all laid off anyway. All of them were laid off. Not just him. All of them. All of them who were good, what they called great, they all had layoffs and they all still had spectacular performance when they fought. So guy keeps asking about how you laid off, when you laid off. Fights are won by skill. That's all there is to it."
    Yeah, but inactivity effects different fighters in different ways.IDK who SRR and MA camback to face.If FMW is inactive for those months it'll all add to like 3 years wasted.

            so Mayweather fights in March .... and then takes the Pacquiao fight in May?

            even if it could be done ... I just don't see it.

            after fighting JMM in September, Floyd could have came back in December to fight Mosley if he really wanted and didn't

            why would he fight in March, and then come back 2 months later?

                  I think if it has to come to a tune up either Pac or Floyd should fight Mosely. The man's got somethin' to prove and should put up a good fight against either.
