Floyd Scheduling a FIght?

Mayweather needs to fight someone soon...he destroys Mitchell in 7 rounds.

Floyd is a mental midget. Like Tyson, in the end it will drag down his talent, though Floyd is lucky enough not to be in the same class of stupidity as Tyson. Fighters have a short shelf life and Floyd won't have too many more years left, but it seems he likes the courtroom and paying millionaire attornies as much as making money in the ring.

Hatton fans don't have a right to say anything.

Yep that meant to say Floyd v Witter, sorry.

At some point Floyd needs to take a big fight. Right. About 2 years ago and we are still waiting.

hmm Witter and Cotto have not proved to be any more special than Corley and N'dou. Corley and N'dou were considered top 10 at 140 when Floyd fought them, as well as Gatti. Bruseles is obviously NOT in that class though. At some point Floyd needs to take a big fight. A fight against a fellow p4p guy. When he does that...good. If he doesn't, then I'll shit in his mouth.

All those fights I would be interested in, except Floyd v Mayweather for some reason I'm not to interested in that fight, just seems like Floyd UD all over it. Floyd vs Mayweather, hhhhhmmmmm. Witter is a punk.

I respect your opinion. But I look at it Differently. As far as I am concerned Mayweather is the best in boxing right now. He deserves the lions share of the money based on that alone because he has the most to lose in my eyes. I'm guessing you aren't a business major. In boxing, worth is determined by how many stadium seats you fill and PPV buys you generate. There are lots of fighters who are worth more than PBF - not because they are better fighters, but because they are more popular. Why are these other fighters more popular? In part because they take on the best opponents - PBF totally strikes out there. Sometimes they are popular because they fight wars - Gatti and Corrales for example. PBF isn't that. Maybe they are popular because they have good personalities and are attractive - DLH for example. PBF doesn't measure up there. PBF needs to take a few business classes at a community college, or get new management. Until he understands how to build value, we'll get more of the same garbage - weak opponents and demanding way too much money if the opponent has a pulse.

This is what I think about Mayweather in terms of making fights: You know those guys who only do their jobs and never go above and beyond to help someone out? You know, they have a strict list of duties, and if there's something that falls beyond them then they refuse to get involved. I think Floyd's sort of like that when it comes to fight negotiations. You know, boxing's a crooked business, and sometimes you have to agree to terms that aren't exactly fair. Like Martin likes to point out Judah agreed to fight for 100 grand to get a title shot, even though that is ridiculous money for a fighter of his level. Mayweather certainly deserves to fight for millions of dollars, but what he has to realize is that in life you don't always get what you deserve. So maybe he is going to have to agree to terms that he's not totally satisfied with in order to build his career and legacy. I'm a huge Floyd fan, but I see this as a big flaw of his.

Wow that is a waste of time. Witter should kill Branco. Well as long as he doesnt get lazy but it should still be an easy fight for him. Well lets just hope some big fights happen soon. I would love to see Witter vs Hatton that would be a huge fight over here in england I would drive anywhere to see that fight. Cotto vs Witter would be a good fight as well, I give witter a very good chance of beating Cotto. I would also love to see Hatton Vs Cotto. I really want to see Ricardo Torres again when he is properly prepared and conditioned he looks like he could be a great 140lber. Mayweather vs Any of those guys would also be good fights. Well lets just hope we get some of those fights to happen so the fans can be Happy. All those fights I would be interested in, except Floyd v Mayweather for some reason I'm not to interested in that fight, just seems like Floyd UD all over it.

Witter is the mandatory... Witter has to defend his British belt against Colin Lynes in a couple of weeks... But the WBC are doing their "Playing games" by now saying that Witter has to fight Branco sometime near the end of 2005' to secure the mandatory position. Wow that is a waste of time. Witter should kill Branco. Well as long as he doesnt get lazy but it should still be an easy fight for him. Well lets just hope some big fights happen soon. I would love to see Witter vs Hatton that would be a huge fight over here in england I would drive anywhere to see that fight. Cotto vs Witter would be a good fight as well, I give witter a very good chance of beating Cotto. I would also love to see Hatton Vs Cotto. I really want to see Ricardo Torres again when he is properly prepared and conditioned he looks like he could be a great 140lber. Mayweather vs Any of those guys would also be good fights. Well lets just hope we get some of those fights to happen so the fans can be Happy.

I maybe a little bit hard on Mayweather from time to time, but that's because I really REALLY wanna see him in the ring with someone half decent. I'm getting bored of him beating up the likes of Sosa/N'Dou/Corley/Bruselles/Gatti - None of these are genuine world class fighters. I wanna see how Mayweather fairs against a young hungry Hatton or Cotto... Or even a seasoned pro like Witter/Tszyu/Margarito. I agree with you. We all want those mega fights for floyd. I think we will get some of those next year. I think the Hatton fight will come off because Hatton wants to cement his legacy and would probably fight Floyd for next to nothing if he had too. Same with Cotto once he gets some more fights underneath his belt. Witter wants a fight with a top guy soon. I dont think floyd will fight witter though because floyd has that mentallity of dont fight tough guys unless they generate money. Not that many outside of the UK know who witter is and if they do know who witter is all they know is that Zab beat his ass. Same thing with Margarito. So right now Mitchell gets the nod. I hope the first mega fight of next year for Floyd is Hatton though. Floyd vs Hatton will be an Awsome action packed fight, I think. Oh and on second thought Floyd might not have a choice but to fight witter because I think witter will be his mandatory defense for that 140 title(correct me if I am wrong).

I don't buy that... I really am starting to believe that it's Mayweather that isn't making these fights happen. On Boxingtalk.net he was being interviewed the other day, and when asked why he turned down 50/50 split on the Judah fight he replied, "Zab Judah needs to learn a thing about market value". :rolleyes: It's not as if Mayweather is a PPV fighter. And Judah took $100,000 to go into Corey Spinks's backyard to get those welterweight belts off him. Judah is now the undisputed welterweight champion of the world, and Mayweather expects Judah to take a cut to fight him??? AND MAYWEATHER'S NOT EVEN A BIG ROLLER OR PPV FIGHT???? I think it's Mayweather that needs to learn a little bit about this business. I respect your opinion. But I look at it Differently. As far as I am concerned Mayweather is the best in boxing right now. He deserves the lions share of the money based on that alone because he has the most to lose in my eyes. #1 P4P is a spot not given to most in this sport and right now everyone has Floyd in that spot. So until he gets knocked off that perch he deserves 60/40 in every Major fight he takes. If I am Zab Judah and I think I can win I am taking 60/40 to beat his ass and take that away from him. If I am Zab Judah who knows I cant win then I am gonna ask for more money than I am worth. Just my opinion on the money matter. However If Floyd wasn't P4P #1 then I would agree with you.

I agree... Mitchell is shot to pieces and is 38yrs old. He ain't a tough tune up for anyone these days. The 2nd Castillo fight was back in 2002' - Hasn't Mayweather had enough tune up fights before stepping up in class again? Well when nobody wants to fight you thats what happens.

how would mitchell be a tough tune-up at 147? tune up ok, but tough...
