Perhaps the injuries are worse than most thought or just trying to build a year of suspense.

and he says that he will prepare 3 months for the fight when the fight is actually 11 months away? Like i said in the ealier post. Mayweather had made plans already for fights on Nov and Feb. DLH takes a almost a year to focus on mayweather with SR on his side. Where Jr focuses on 1 fight at a time?

At least hes comin out of retirement. A comeback in may will make his return soooo much more exciting and more anticipated. I have got to buy this fight!!! this is the biggest, most-anticipated matchup since tyson-lewis!!!

im surprised he waiting this long but i think he may want to rest his injuries before he goes into another fight.

i also belive he want's mayweather to finally fight margarito so delahoya can know he fought the best welterweight. im willing to bet that mayweather from today untill the delahoya fight, i bet mayweather only has one fight, so he can make sure he goes in with a win against delahoya and im sure he won't be fighting margarito.
