    I'd rather he stayed retired. We need to see new blood.

      Froid never left!

      Only idiots think he retired!

      As soon as he filed his taxes I knew he was coming back!

        Floyd really should stay retired. I don't think there are any fights out there (beyond fighting for the MW crown) that would enhance his legacy. I think the most interesting fight to be made in terms of styles and skills would be vs Brook... but this fight does nothing for Floyd in reality. A GGG fight is just too silly, a near 40 year old welterweight vs the hardest hitting MW... anyone who thinks that is a legit fight is ******ed, Floyd is way too old and small and there is no shame in admitting that fighting a MW is one step too far... but any other fights between 140-154 are meaningless anyway... so yeah, he should just stay retired and let the new guys make names for themselves.

          I think GGG, especially considering Floyd believes GGG should fight Ward.

            The only fight I'd like to see Floyd in at this point, is a fight against someone who'd have a legite chance of beating him. Only Golovkin fits this criteria in my opinion.

            I know it's unfair, I know GGG is much bigger than Floyd who's pushing 40...I know all of that.

            But if Floyd wants people to stop laughing when he calls himself 'TBE', and, what's more important to him, he wants another big payday, he needs to fight someone who he'd be an underdog against. It's unfair but it is what it is.

            Garcia, Broner... GTFO! Why would anybody want to see these fights is beyond me.

                Voted Garcia since he has been talking about him. I would not be surprised if it was GGG, for his 50th!

                That would be ballsy!

                  He should take that middleweight tittle from Canelo.

                    I didn't expect that so many people would want a Canelo rematch.

                    I was trying to decide between him and Lara as an interesting SWW opponent, but tbh Canelo hasn't shown me anything to suggest that Floyd wouldn't just befuddle and outbox him in the rematch the same way he did in the first fight. A Lara fight would be more interesting, imo.

                    Errol Spence is too green. Wouldn't be competitive. He doesn't have much name recognition yet, either.

                    Hard to add Adrien Broner to the list. He got dominated and revenge-humped by a guy that Floyd beat decisively on two occasions ( I know the first fight was closer, but still..), and I don't see how that fight could be sold as anything more than "12-0 waiting to happen, but he's breaking the record, so buy that shít." No thanks.

                      My guess is Mayweather is probably gonna go with Broner. I feel like the Ashley Theophane fight was the precursor. It's the easiest fight he could take with one of the highest payloads. Hardcore fans are gonna hate it but the casuals will eat it up. The setting up for this fight has already begun
