    Floyd Mayweather Jr should have stayed retired, as it's been a disaster comeback.

    I don't know what you guys think about the latest fiasco but let's say as a boxing fan I've been disappointed by Mayweather this year. I've been thinking was it really worth coming out of retirement? Ok he beat JMM & Mosley, I'd say the Mosley win was decent, however, the majority excuse the JMM win and give him zero credit for it.

    When it comes down to it, why did Mayweather really come out of retirement? - was it money? or did he really want to come back for a mega fight with Pacquiao? Surely it was to come back to cement his legacy as being recognized P4P king, to knock Pacquiao off his throne right? I think were unable to answer this question, as no one knows how Mayweather operates, but it's a sure strange way to go about things.

    In my opinion, Mayweather should have stayed retired, I think his legacy was already sealed anyway, every boxing fan knows he's one of the most skilled boxing athletes to grace the boxing ring, and is ATG. OK he ducked some fighters, that's negotiable, we know that. However, most would agree he'd have probably kept his '0', the only real threat is Pacquiao.

    So my point is, IF Mayweather came back for greed, and not to land a fight Pacquiao, it really wasn't worth it, in my eyes.. He has hardly set the world a light since making his comeback, it's been somewhat of a disappointment and farce. Mayweather infact has lost more credibility since coming back, had he stayed retired I don't think so many boxing fans would be on his back right now.At the end of the day, beating Mosley & JMM was never worth it, unless he does fight Pacquiao that is. Right now, his comeback has been a disaster, I know some will disagree strongly but that's how I feel as a boxing fan right now.

    Thoughts?

    Floyd is great, whether you like him or not.

      Its been a massive disappointment, he beat Mosley and did nothing else of note.

      He gets nothing from me for beating a blown up SFW at WW not matter how good he is.

        Like I said, beating Mosley was a legit win, I give him credit for it. I never said Mayweather was not great, he is ATG, one of the greatest of our generation. However, the comeback hasn't been what it's cracked up to be. Come on dude, look at the **** Mayweather has landed himself in as of late, he hasn't even landed another fight yet either. Him staying retired would have been the best move he could have ever made. His legacy was already SEALED. Beating JMM and Mosley was never worth coming out of retirement.

          He came back for the money and that is it,after he blows through it like he always does then he will fight again and not until that happens.

            Also if your going to pick on Mayweathers opponents look at Pacquiaos Clottey and Margarito are not that impressive to me,sht Mosleys better then both.

              Pac is putting in consistent work and when you consider the natural size difference they are impressive opponents also taking into account how he had Clottey in terror and shut him out on the cards.

                I see what your saying, but Floyd really needed a top Welterweight on his resume.

                Baldomir is a C- fighter and Judah was an underachieving natural 140 pounder who just lost to that C- fighter.

                The Mosley performance really helped his resume.

                The Marquez fight was pointless. All it did was ruin a lot of excitement for a third Marquez-Pac fight.

                The only thing it accomplished was making Floyd's wallet fatter and stroke his own ego by now being able to brag that he shutout the man who gave Pac his toughest challenge.

                  He only got out of debt, got rich all over again, and completely dominated someone most boxing experts swore he would be too afraid to go near

                    Should have stayed retired?

                    He has made 50 million in 2 fights and stands to make that again if he gets the job done with Manny Pacquiao. He is just milking the cow and why shouldnt he.
