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

[slicksouthpaw16]

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.

Berto is far too risky to be a tune up, and seems to be getting better with every fight.

fight pac, earn $50 million and go back to vacationing...forever.

[Chuckguy]

I say his tune up should be against either Canelo ALvarez or Cotto
those are two easy tune ups against guys who are willing to get busted up

[The Gambler1981]

No one, since that would make him look more gangster in the end.

Ignorant in what way? Leonard had an injury, was out of the sport for a while. Came out from a longer hiatus than Floyd's ever experienced, and went in straight to fight the Middleweight Champion of the World.

Did or did this not occur?

Ignorant in that, one, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other. Floyd Mayweather is not Sugar Ray Leonard. What Sugar Ray Leonard done in his career, isn't some kind of bar that gets set for what Floyd Mayweather should do in his career.

And saying "well so and so did it, so you should too", is one of the lamest ways to look at things.

Basically, you're saying that ANYONE who has been out of the ring for 3 years or less, should be able to come back and immediately fight the absolute best fighter available. All because of what Sugar Ray Leonard did.

See how ****** that sounds?

Whether people want to admit it or not, bars ARE set in sports. That's what separates guys we'll talk about for years to come to guys who are hot today, gone tomorrow. Nobody is saying Floyd should follow Leonard's exact plans (as every fighter should follow their own). My thing is I believe Floyd is physically capable of fighting Pacquiao without needing a tune up. Sue me if I used Ray Leonard as an example.

c'mon guy... SRL had a detached retina... wifebeater is just going on vacation to avoid pac. he's done it before. he ducked cotto and marg when they were prime and beat up a longtoothed coming off a long layoff mosley.

No offense, but what you believe to be the case, may not always be the actual case.

Before its all said and done. He will fight Amir Khan and Saul Alvarez.

Name me 3 fighters from THIS genration that have done what Leonard did.
