    Should Floyd Have A Tune Up Fight?

    If Floyd is coming back to fight again around july/august/, should he have a tune up fight or just go straight for a top caliber opponent.

        i dont think he should have a tune up. its not like he will actually gain anything from a tune up skill/endurance wise. its not like he wont train and spar to get ready for a big fight. as long as he keeps up with his intense training a tune up is unnecessary IMO.

          to be honest I don't think he will have a tune up..

          he cares alot about doing great PPV numbers and who can possibly give him great numbers without being a major risk?

          He won't have a tune up because it won't do big numbers and if a PPV doesn't do big numbers it'll hurt his ego ...

            This. Leonard left for three years and jumped right into a big fight. Boxers today need a tune-up every other fight.

                The JMM fight was considered a tune up fight and it did very well on ppv.

                  Maybe if he can get a quick fight done for July. If not he'll shoot straight for Pac in November.

                  Arum needs to jump on this now!!!!
