    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.

    Yawn.

    Pacquiao 1 year layoff from 2012 > 2013. Don't care that he was knocked out.

    Mayweather 2013 May > September 2013

    KO is part of boxing. What was he worried about, his health?

    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

    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.
