his father said he does maybe vs spadafora. theres talk of him fighting in south africa in july most likely tune-up bout in my mind is khan if he beats bradley.khan is a big name in uk and floyd has said it has always been a dream to fight in uk. it had a 21 month lay-off b4 beating marquez. does he need a tune-up?
no tune up straight to pac in november, he is already wasting a lot of time, if he wants a tune up fight berto in june/july pac in november/december
too risky. what if he gets injured, hurts his hands, or something like that? Floyd is the kind of fighter that needs a lot of R&R between fights.
Just another excuse to delay the Pac fight. If he takes a tuneup he should be massacred in the media. He said he will only fight once a year anyway, so what the **** use will a tuneup be if he fights Pac in 2012?
If he doesn't fight before November-ish...then yeah, I wouldn't advise him to take on a very active Pacquiao after a year and a half-ish out.
Floyd will need a tune up when he returns to the ring. He didn't fight for more than a year now so he needs to remove his ring rust. The problem is, he fights once a year only. He will end up fighting tune up fights only (to remove ring rust) for the remainder of this fights until he retires.
+1 emmanuel is already fighting in May, so we know he can't fight as soon as July. Nothing wrong with a tuneup for FLoyd as long as he doesn't plan to do his once a year **** for 2011. Floyd becoming an "international playboy". Floyd a G.
So who is he going to get for a tune up that would be close to pac? Right so Floyd is a gym rat who only manages to fight once a year because of his brittle hands, but people say it'd be beneficial for him to have a fight in the summer in order to prepare for one in November? Floyd fights one a year for a reason - to suggest he'd be better suddenly trying to fight twice in 6 months is ridiculous to me. If sparring (boxing, in a ring, against an opponent) is not good for shaking ring rust then surely every fighter must suffer from ring rust. By the time their fight comes around?They have a fight and then don't get back in the ring for another 5-10 months? How long does ring rust take to occur exactly? A question for Floyd fans - if you're saying that ring rust is a big deal, and Mayweather will need a tuneup in order not to have ring rust against Manny in a potential November fight, are you acknowledging that Mosley was suffering from ring rust in his fight against Floyd?
