    Pacquiao and Floyd.

    But, why a 2 year layoff? That was quite random.

      Are you absolutely sure Freddie would not match Manny with someone much softer if Manny took off for 2 years and came back?

      How would you know for certain?

          People forget:

          1. Tyson (arguably 2-3 times if you had Williams & McBride)
          2. Surgar Ray Leonard 3x
          3. Foreman 2x

          All had long layoffs before returning to the ring. Look at the above fighters competion and their performance and you will see it doesn't compare to Mayweather's performance.

          If the above HOF'ers had difficult times coming back against subpar competition, why do so many people discredit Mayweather?

                  Would Pacquiao be considered the favorite if he took off 2 years and returned to the ring against the current #2 welter weight champion?

                  OR

                  Would they match Many with someone much less of a threat as a tune up?

                    Way to find SRL best return fight and forget about the rest.

                    What about Camacho, Norris, Lalonde, and Kevin Howard? SRL was knocked down against Norris, Camacho and Howard.

                    This is why I rank you as Top P4P troll on NSB. Only you make silly posts that try to raise reactions out of people.
