    Mayweather's early 2016 Tune Up Opponent - Who?

    There seems to be general agreement from several boxing observers that Mayweather is returning to the ring after his retirement fight this September 2015 against highly ranked Andre Berto. Speculation is that could be coming out of retirement early in 2016.

    Naturally, Mayweather will not be fighting a real opponent. The ring rust that comes from being retired would make it risky to do so.

    The question: Who will be Mayweather's tune up opponent in case the speculation that he will be coming out of retirement may indeed be true?

    Floyds always training and has always had lay offs so coming back wouldn't be that hard.

    But he is entitled to a rest after being a good boy with his fighting every 6 months for 6 fights. Its got to be the baddest man at 154 at least or a 160 title

              Why would he have "ring rust"?

              He's had the same time off from Sept to May every year now.

                  Normally if Mayweather had not retired he would have his next fight in early May. You do remember that for years now Mayweather has fought twice a year in September and May. So you are saying that because Mayweather has retired he will be back in the ring sooner than if he had not retired. You are also saying that for some reason even though he will be back in the ring sooner than if he had not retired he would be very rusty. Give it some thought and you might realize that what you are saying makes no sense at all.
