Who Should Floyd Fight?

Fair enough - but hatton has vastly improved since being with mayweather sr. - it could be interesting.
BUT - gayrunner is a chump and i could give a flying **** whether he come back or not.

 

Marquez. That would be a good comeback fight after almost 2 years off.

 

Mosley

 

Koki Kameda!

 

Here's my favorite part of the article;

Mosley’s disadvantage is that whenever the fight made sense for Mayweather, he almost always balked. One night in 1999, Jack Mosley said his son would need $10 million to fight Mayweather. That same night, Mayweather earned a $150,000 base purse for defeating Carlos Rios. Two months later, Mosley couldn’t sell out a casino venue in the California desert for a lightweight title defense against John Brown. Later, as Mosley hit his career zenith with two wins over De La Hoya, he never even considered Mayweather.

Mayweather’s recent $20 million demand to fight Mosley wasn’t so much a lack of market understanding during tough financial times as a backhanded response to the Mosleys’ laughable $10 million demand a decade earlier.

Mayweather also still chafes at Mosley’s reluctance to fight him in 2006. Mosley was fresh off a victory over Fernando Vargas that reestablished him as a marketable force after four losses, two each to Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest. But Mosley wanted to take time off instead, ostensibly to allow his promotional boss, De La Hoya, to negotiate a fight with Mayweather that wouldn’t materialize for nearly another year. Mayweather-De La Hoya talks were balky from the start and there was no certainty the fight would materialize at the time of Mosley’s reticence. Mayweather hoped to fight Mosley first, then De La Hoya, but ended up with Carlos Baldomir as his interim opponent instead.

Mosley finally acceded to the fight only after it made no sense for Mayweather, who went on to fight Hatton instead, while Mosley further diminished any potential for their fight by losing to Cotto.

Two years ago this month, in a quiet conversation at his Las Vegas gym, Mayweather talked about how badly he needed to get away from boxing. The two most lucrative fights of his career, against De La Hoya and Hatton -- not to mention Dancing With the Stars and WrestleMania -- loomed in front of him. By the time he finally wanted to walk away from a lifetime in boxing, without a substantial break, he couldn’t.

Despite this, it's always claimed that Mayweather ducked Mosley.

 

Its all a load of bollocks. who gives a **** if he comes back or not. boxing doesnt need mayweather.

 

Then why are so many fighters, including Ricky Hatton, calling him out? Why is HBO so interested in seeing him return? Why are British reporters flying across sea in order to ask Mayweather about fighting again?

 

Fighters are calling him out because he was the best. HBO wanna suck his dong. News reporters would fly to pluto to get a story. that answer your questions sir!

 

So his peers, the fans, the networks, and the media all want him to return. Despite this you feel no one cares whether or nor he comes back and you also feel boxing doesn't need him. This makes sense to you?

 

who is his peers? floyd mayweather hasnt got any fans. I'd say alot of the people who watch floyd watch him in the hope he might get beat. Boxing doesnt need him. Boxing is bigger than any 1 fighter. It just gets boring every other day, whens floyd comin back. some people will care if he comes back or not, by i certainly couldnt care less. its been nearly a year and a half since his last fight and its just getting a bit repetitive. uno what i mean?

 

The winner of Cotto/Mosley, theres pretty much no other fight for him out there.

 

Other fighters. You know, like the ones who want to fight him.

I said THE fans. This means not just Floyd fans, but fans in general.

That still doesn't change the fact that they want to watch him and the want to see him fight again.

I would agree with this. Boxing doesn't neccesarily need him, but it sure could use him.

This seems to be your real argument, that you don't care. However, you're trying to project your personal feelings on everyone. I think that's where we dissagree.

It is repetitive, but so are a lot of topics on this forum. Personally, I would love to see him come back as long as he got involved in the right fights.

 

Looks like Pac-Man's time is about up!

 

bloody hell!!! i bet that was a ball ache quoting each sentence! iI just dont see the big deal about mayweather. yes he is technically brilliant and undefeated in all of his bouts, 38 out of 39 unquestionable wins says hes brilliant. but personally i think he is rubbish to watch, always running around the ring, 1 shot at a time, reluctant to have a proper tear up like pacman v marquez style, uno what i mean?
