    Mayweather is supposedly coming back. Crawford just retired. That was convenient timing, (I think he did the same with De La Hoya).

    He will not fight anything that resembles a threat. In all honesty he doesn't have to I guess, he can still make huge money fighting nobodies so that's what he'll probably do.

    $ure vs Pacquiao or de la hoya makes perfect money
    Or maybe even Jake Paul

    How do you think he does against the top five welterweights?

    Both guys have announced returns from retirement. If they fought later this year who do you give the edge to?

    They should give Pacquiao one more shot at the titles. He arguably beat Barrios and If he became champion Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 would be far bigger

    Prime Floyd embarrasses Bud. A mediocre guy like Madrimov arguably beat Bud.

    still has visible abs at his last exhibition. Never been out of shape a day in his life. I bet he could do it.

    Who do you consider the top 5 welterweights? I'm actually not someone that hates Floyd. I think he was a very skilled, smart fighter, and a perfectionist at his craft. I just don't see him as a "GOAT" candidate.
    I think Robinson would not only beat him, but possibly even KO him. I think the "Big Four" of the 80s would have also done the same.
    Not basing it on nostalgia reasons. I just don't think he would have beaten any of them. I think he is just outside the top 5 or 10.

    Mayweather is gonna get some rust off him training for this Tyson circus...then he's gonna lift this belt off Ryan Garcia (who's going to win it tonight by hook or crook 100%).

    Then it's gonna be a Pacquiao rematch.

    After that 3 fight stretch he should finally be able to retire peacefully.

    So now lies are just exaggeration? Continue to believe in his tweet. That is up to you. As you mention, simple Google revealed what was BS and what was real.

    Are you insane? It's more than his tweet legit news articles about it he's also put 100mill into sl green as part of them building skyscrapers hence he tried to say he "owns" skyscrapers but he just invested an has part of the pie, business and finances is so complex like when 50 cent claimed bankruptcy but still had plenty money to show off, rich people have also sorts of crazy ways to stay rich while being technically in debt they just get mortgages out against there assets and carry on as normal
