    Should Floyd Mayweather come back?
    What do you think about that?
    Floyd Mayweather needs a 9-figure payday

    Like to see Mayweather vs. Garcia or even watch him blow out Pacquiao again.

          Guessing he wants him to move up to 160 and fight GGG as a middleweight. probably after that move up to light heavyweight and fight Andre Ward.

                      He needs to stay far away from boxing and never return like Peyton Manning from football.

                        Mayweather will fight one more time. Probably a rematch with Manny. I still don't believe anyone can beat him because of Mayweather's ring generalship and the fact that he makes opponents fight his fight. Guy is a huge vagina, I'd love to see him get KO'ed, but it will never happen... Golovkin would be an interesting story, and MAYBE Khan if he were to beat Alvarez.

                                He matches up extremely well with Garcia and Garcia doesn't have the power to bother Floyd. He would hurt Garcia which would satiate the bloodthirsty MMA fans who don't give a hoot about the sweet science. He might even stop Garcia.

                                  Let's just pretend the fight happened at an agreed upon catchweight (Floyd is NOT a middleweight, he's hardly a welterweight). It would probably look a lot like Floyd vs. Canelo in tempo except GGG might actually win a couple rounds if for nothing else by swinging wildly and having him against the ropes when Floyd wants to be on the ropes.

                                  GGG would be outclassed in the middle of the ring and lose a wide decision.

                                  But the more pressing question is why not let GGG fight somebody his own size? Floyd went up five weight classes when there was nobody left to fight, how about GGG travel up one weight class and fight somebody more threatening than a tomato can?

                                    Said he'd do this when he announced, would be just a break after such a big fight like Pacquiao and also to make his record breaking fight a much bigger money generating fight. As far as opponents, he has nothing to prove. Fighting belt holders? Belts mean nothing. There is nobody to fight at his weight that would beat him you just watch him fight because it he's an all time great and itll be one of the last fights youll see from him.

                                        In order of what I would like to see...

                                        1. GGG (no chance this happens)
                                        2. Pacquiao rematch
                                        3. Winner of Thurman/Porter
                                        4. Canelo assuming he handles Kahn
                                        5. Crawford
                                        6. Broner
                                        7. Khan if he upsets Canelo
                                        8. Garcia
                                        9. Other- that no one cares about and is there to be a sparring partner for his 50th victory.

                                        9,8,2,4 seem to be the most likely I would think.

                                          Margarito is the only one who had a legit gripe about being ducked and knowing what we now know about him cheating with wraps, Floyd was smart to pass on him. Pac fight was never going to happen until promoters could max the revenue.

                                          Stop with the nonsense. What fight circles do you actually speak with?

                                          A 50th win fight would be against a layup like Broner, Pac or Canelo.

                                          If Floyd lost a bunch of speed since Berto fight he could get caught by GGG. If not, he out boxes GGG to a decision win. Golovkin has never been in with a guy close to Floyd.

                                            i would pay to see GGG although SBR Forum is probably right about the result. i would pay to see pacquaio i would pay to see canelo, khan, or broner. im not interested in garcia or crawford or anyone else i would not watch like i did not watch his last bs fight

                                              Will be interesting once he's really all done if we ever hear about him needing money. I wonder what type investments he has, I remember 50 saying he didnt have an accountant a while back.

                                                I feel like Floyd will be fine with his money. May not be able to read but he's probably smarter than Tyson.

                                                  Yes just for the chance to get knocked out. He would never take a fight that he might lose so no point. Just the point of him getting paid and people thinking that this might save boxing.

                                                        Honestly if I am him this is absolutely the best option....

                                                        A guy you know you can beat that has proven he is not elite, and you know inside and out. Yet, he has a name, a personality, built in backstory. The fight will sell it self with that story line plus going for 50.

                                                        I am hoping for something much more competitive but am not naive enough to think it will happen.

                                                            I mean I will freely admit that Broner would have no chance. I would not watch it for the chance of May going down, but for the theatrics of it all. He has 0 percent chance of losing to Broner. Broner must be set to get off his shots and May would never let him get in position to do that, kind of like when he fought Canelo. Broner is probably the easiest fights that May could take
