    If you're a Floyd fan, you would surely have to wish for him to lose for making a mockery of the sport.

    McGregor is a counter puncher, he is going to get completely toyed with.

    Thurman would be a good fight. Not interested in the McGregor crossover fight.

    Floyd will fight very very well even at his age, like Hopkins he is a defensive master and will age slower than those fighters who engage, with his ''therapy'' between fights he is also kept in top condition. The problem is the American judges are conditioned to reward his passive style which allows him to pot shot on the retreat and make fights ugly and boring.
    I would hope nowhere would sanction a boxing match with Mcgregor, a guy who has never fought a pro boxing match going up against a top 100 ATG guy is beyond disgraceful.

    If he came back i d want to see him with khan or brook. Think they,d cause him problems at this stage. Theres better guys out there for him to fight. But khan causes him problems with his speed/stamina...number of punches thrown. Even though many will disagree.

    Same with brook. He has a pretty unique style to a lot of guys fighting today. I think it causes floyd problems. Hes seen a lot of styles over the years but think brooks is a bit different to what hes seen. Pretty skilled fighter brook.

    Mcgregor fun idea...but waste of time. Golovkin at this stage would probably hurt him. Believe floyd would have beat him if he was five or so years younger even giving away the weight. Would be a tricky fight for him tho.

    "It will be against a fighter and that's what important. Giving the fans excitement. I want to go out there and compete again. No matter if it's a boxing fighter, or an MMA fighter. A fighter's, a fighter when it's all said and done."

    Giving the fans excitement...let me laugh.

    The fighter is a fighter part is pure crap since we all know that Floyd carefully cherrypick his opponents. That part is another lie from Floyd.

    Floyd must be mad at Thurman for beating his primary target outside McGregor: Garcia!

    I doubt hes going to fight anyone McGregor would be the only one he accept. Mayweather just needs to go away always wanting attention. and a Mayweather/McGregor would be a joke and a scam don't know why anyone would order it.

    I think it will be Pacquiao rematch. The first fight did 5+ million PPVs, if the rematch does third as much it's still a great money fight, the biggest for him outside of maybe McGregor freak show fight or a Canelo rematch which is a more dangerous fight for old Floyd and Canelo probably wouldn't be able to go down in weight that much now, he barely made 154 in his last fight.

    I think the hype would return for the rematch, Pacquiao needs to make some noise again with excuses and Mayweather needs to return to his trash talk, he should just talk about how he's going to brutally KO Pacman and the people are going to fall for it.

    There's no way this fight does less than million.

    Thurman is way too dangerous fight for Floyd and isn't a draw. Same goes for Crawford, Brook etc. Even Khan makes bigger sense now, he's at least a big name in the UK and would hype the fight with his delusions.

    I think Floyd would be interested in fighting Danny Garcia had he kept his 0 but that didn't happen so...

    Forget GGG, no chance in hell Floyd fights him.
