He won't be back in the ring until May, 2014 which makes it 8 months since his last fight against Alvarez. On the other hand... Pacquiao just fought 2 weeks ago and is returning in April, 2014. Mayweather loves his long breaks, Floyd Mayweather jr: 45 FIGHTS (36 YEARS OLD) - Inactive for almost 2 years, December 2007 and then fought on September 19 2009. - Fought once in 2010. - Fought once in 2011. - Fought once in 2012. Manny Pacquiao: - 11 months lay off since the KO Loss to Marquez. 62 FIGHTS (34 YEARS OLD)
Yawn. Pacquiao 1 year layoff from 2012 > 2013. Don't care that he was knocked out. Mayweather 2013 May > September 2013
:rofl yeah with a KO like that and then he actually is fighting earlier than Mayweather. Pac just fought 2 weeks ago. :deal
But he took 1 year off. :hey And Mayweather fights at the most popular times of the year. Cinco De Mayo and Mexican independence day. Can't blame him.
Healing his body = Avoiding? Nope. Ray Leonard took a few years off when he had a detached retina. Mayweather had internal body damage that he had to take care of. It was the best decision of his career. :hi: He's made hundreds of millions since that decision and he's laughing his way to the bank.
Nope, he actually came back and brutalised Rios who is a big puncher, who is stronger, younger and is a pressure fighter. Pac could have fought Malignaggi :rofl
Looks as if Pac will fight Bradley or Marquez next......................doubt if he can get Marquez back into a fight though.................
Name one person who thinks Rios was stronger or a bigger puncher than Pac. Revisionist memory. Brutalized, really? I guess we saw two different fights. You criticize Floyd for not fighting soon enough. May - September. Pac took a whole year to fight. And we know why Pac is fighting in April. He KNEW Floyd was fighting in May.
Marquez was a sparring partner who then KTFO6 some pretender. Floyd should have stayed on vacation. Marquez was TOO EASY.
Mayweather almost 2 years off, Hatton december 2007 and then fought Marquez September 2009.... while.... Manny Pacquiao beating Marquez, Diaz, De La Hoya & Ricky Hatton :deal
