    Guess we'll find out 5/15. We know it's going to be in Mexico, but we don't know anything else (such as whether he's unretiring for a real one, or having an exhibition...or against whom...or when)

    It will be another exhibition fight of his. Nothing is new.

    He just can’t stand not being in the spotlight.

    Maybe he's finally stopped ducking his true rival, a single page of a harry potter book. Only time will tell.

    I don't understand Floyd's career now. It does seem like he is waiting to fight a big fight and prove at his age he can still do it, and still stay sharp with this sort of fights.

    i am not letting it go? I think he was a bit overrated as a fighter who always handpicked. I am saying what I think he is doing. Staying (somewhat) active with exhibitions until he wants to try one more fight sort of like Ray Leonard did with Hagler, but more extreme.. I am not a fan of Floyd.. I think he handpicked fighters at the right time and created his undefeated record.

    yeah, there's a season for everything. His season has passed. Allow these young guys to shine. He's trying to hold on far too hard.
