So he knocks out a bum.. why should we stop knocking his power? Fight a real fighter not these has-beens.

Did you see the Gregorian-Freitas fight(bum). Did you see the Witter-Judah fight(bum). Dorin retired after just being KO in the second round with a body punch, and if he fights Harris he loses his #1 ranking in the WBC for a Gatti fight and trust me Gatti is not going to fight Floyd if he doesnt have to. If HBO would guarentee Floyd a fight with Gatti if he beats Harris im sure he would but they wont and dont tell me HBO doesnt have the power to do so.

Abdullaev would absolutely be the wrong fight for him to take. It would be insane. He's just to young as a pro. Stevie Johnston would also be a bad idea because people would point out that Johnston is a natural lightweight and may be shot anyway. Honestly, even N'dou is a bad choice, but out of these three, he's the one I'd go with.

Viv Harris would be a dangerous fight for him to take, but maybe the most appropriate.

I didn't read the whole thread before I posted, but this guy does bring up an exellent point about losing his ranking for Gatti's title.

I'd like to see Abdulaev v PBF...i think that would be a great fight! Abdulaev is an olympic gold medalist and a pressure fighter. It would be a good measuring stick as to how he could deal with KT down the line. Abdulaev is no where near as good as Tszyu but it would still be a good fight.

He obviously didn't have him hurt bad enough, considering on how well Mayweather pulled himself together to dominate Corley later on in the fight, not only dominated, but also knocked him down. All that matters is that you get the W, right?

P.S. Let's not bring up your boy Trinidad and how he got hurt, or knocked down in several of his fights, the point is...he went on to get the W...Oh yeah, except for his fight vs. Hopkins..

YOU DIDN'T SEE MAYWEATHER AGAINST THE ROPES FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE PUNCH CORLEY GAVE HIM.

11-16-2004, 11:00 PM
Yeah, I did see him against the ropes, dodging everything Corley had to follow up with as well. What did you want him to do fall to the ground (like Trinidad would do.) so his chin can be questioned even more by you Mayweather-haters..

I think Mandy Moore is flawlessly beautiful. Kostya will take Floyd's head off and smile about it.

n'dou wouldnt be nothing more then a good punching ba for mayweather
he just isnt on the same skill level as mayweather
altho his durability could give him a slight chance
it would be ver slim
not really worht pitting him against mayweather

None of the fights proposed interest me at all - PBF wins any of them, without much problem... ...well, maybe Abdulaev gives him a moment or two... :(

:D

That is some funny **** right their. He relies on his talent. What else is he supposed to do? I like Gatti but PBF is the best p4p easy. Gatti got killed by DLH and PBF is a million times better boxer than Oscar. Oh and guess what. PBF has the best defense in boxing too. Gatti will either get stopped on cuts or lose a big unanimous decision. Mayweather's power depends on his brittle hands. If his hands are good, he KO's anyone in the division due to his temendous speed advantage. If he does not have the hands working then he can out box anyone. He did get stunned by Corley but he also beat thedust off of the man too. I think KT is his only challenge at 140 or 147.

11.17.04 - Junior Witter has responded with indignation to suggestions on **********.net that Floyd Mayweather Junior will face Lovemore N'dou, Stevie Johnston or Muhamat Abdulaev on his upcoming HBO date. “Floyd is letting himself down by considering opponents of this calibre,” began Junior.

“I don’t like to say I told you so, but I predicted he might when, earlier this month, I offered to step up and face him on January 22nd.

“He is also letting down fight fans and HBO; I am surprised they are even considering showing him against one of these three.

“Lovemore N’dou is nothing but a solid yet limited loser; he has been beaten in two of his last five fights.

“Stevie Johnston is a blown up lightweight who hasn’t fought for a year since he got put down three times and stopped.

“And as for Muhamat Abdulaev, well you can go to sleep on his record it is so padded. Plus Emmanuel Clottey knocked him out four fights ago.

“I am just not sure how someone who considers himself one of the best pound for pound even thinks about fights like this.

“Especially when I have thrown my hat in the ring.”

Witter added: “It seems that Floyd has suddenly turned a bit shy. I know for a fact he heard my challenge to him, but it seems he is even scared to look in my direction.

“It’s obvious to me that he doesn’t want to risk a big pay-day against Gatti by getting in the ring with a European champion who has taken out his last fifteen opponents.

“He knows I can knock him out.

“But that isn’t the mark of a true champion, it’s the mark of someone who doubts their own ability.”

Do you really think he will be able to do what Sharmba and Cotto couldn't in KOing N'Dou? You must be high.

I actually think that N'Dou would have the best showing against PBF and might catch him with a few hard rights that will get him in real trouble. I don't think he will win, but he has the best chance of all these fighters mentioned.

Abdullaev is one of my favorite fighters....but his style would get him eaten alive by Floyd.

The other two candidates, N'Dou & Johnston.....please, neither would be interesting opponents for Floyd.

Johnston would have been very intersting 4 years ago....not anymore.

I hope Abdullaev gets televised again. Just as long as it isn't against Floyd.
