    Who should Floyd's comeback/tuneup fight before a megafight be against?

    Floyd will eventually come back, and in an effort to be a part of a superfight. Hopefully it will be against Pacquiao. Who would you approve or accept as his comeback/tuneup fight before a megabout? It's unlikely Mayweather will be willing to go straight for a Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez without a tune up. So who would you like to see him comeback against before a megafight? Let's figure this out before he eventually names someone and we all start b*tching about it.

    If it ain't Pacquiao, then Martinez or Berto. Simple as that. I'd only want to see Bradley if it was at 140 and that isn't happening.

      Who should it be? Berto I guess since he has to have another tuneup for some reason. Who will it be? Nonito Donaire if he's still high on the mythical PFP list would be my guess. If not Donaire, my guesses are between Katsides, Paulie, Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz, or Yuri Foreman.

        Pacquiao.

        I dont want Mayweather to have any tuneups. they get in the way of Pacquiao-Mayweather happening.

        If Mayweather comes back, the only fight I want to see him in is against Pacquiao.

        Mayweather-Pacquiao
        Mayweather-Pacquiao
        Mayweather-Pacquiao
        nothing else.

          No tuneups. If you are only fighting twice every six years or whatever Mayweather is deciding to do, then they have to be megafights.

              if a fighter is inactive for reasons he cant control he can have a tune up, like if he gets injured or has a fight cancelled. but floyd chooses to stay inactive and fight as rarely as he does, if he wants to do that and at the same time stay relevant and call himself a top fighter he cant take any tune ups.

              pacquiao, berto, bradley (at 140) and pwill after bouncing back (he has a reason to take a tune up btw) are good fíghts. anything else i have virtually no interest in.

                martinez and berto are good... I would also accept khan and cotto... I would even allow marg just so wifebeater can say he actually beat marg in the ring.

                but 1 tune up and straight to pac. no more vacations or more tune ups.

                    If Ray Leonard can fight Hagler after a 3 yrs hiatus, I can't see why Floyd can't fight Pacquiao after a little over a year absence (which would be the case if by some miracle the fight happens in November or December).
