Lets get real. JMM brings that name recognition with a mexican fan base. He is a top 4 P4Per that gave Manny Pacman Pacquiao his biggest problems. If Floyd where to fight the winner of Hatton/Pacquiao wouldn't his best option be against JMM. Lets not forget JMM called him out. If Floyd called out Kelly Pavlik you better beleive he doesn't expect him to come down in weight 7lbs.
Being Realistic who would you like Floyd to Fight if this fight doesn't happen in his comeback fight?
Poll to follow....
I mean, it's pretty obvious the Floyd fans want him to fight Marquez cause of the name, but JMM would indeed be out of his element. Even when he said he wanted Floyd after the Diaz fight I thought to myself, "LOL yea right, is he serious?" because I knew Floyd wasn't coming down to even 140 regardless of what people on here say. It's pretty obvious Floyd is not going to make 140 and wants to fight at Weltweight. JMM is bigger than a tune up fight and honestly makes him look like a fool and hungry for the money more than giving Floyd a competitive fight.
JMM is simply over matched, but the guys on this forum think that because JMM is the #2 fighter in the world that Floyd would get all of these accolades for beating him when in reality he'd be ridiculed even more.
Take Floyd out of the equation and add say Mosley, Berto, or Cotto vs JMM and watch all the hate spiral towards those guys. It's favortism for your favorite fighter at the end of the day, but anyway you slice it, it favors Floyd across the board. He'll fight a Welterweight for his tune up...watch.
Cotto JMM would be a good match up. If Cotto had fought JMM instead of Jennings he would have recieved alot more props from me.

Since he wants to fight at welterweight he should at least fight a guy who's been a welterweight or is a welterweight. If he fights jmm i would love to see it but at 140. At welterweight, i think Quintana is a good comeback fight. Collazo poses to much risk. he's a good size welterweight, slick, fast, and a southpaw. Cory Spinks is the kind of guy who can steal a decision from floyd, but i just dont want to see that fight. It be worse then Baldomir/Mayweather.
And Berto...i just rather see Berto fight someone else.
quitnana is fighting at 154 I think.
berto is fighting urango.
nobody wanted spink/floyd when it was actually a good fight.
collazo cant bring in the cash like jmm tho
OTHER.. either Mosley or Cotto. **** Pacquiao, Marquez and Hatton, if he is trying to fight those guys then move down but as long as he fights in Welterweight he should face other welterweights and not lure lighter fighters much out of their element to a point where they'll be a shell of who they are. I mean come on man the fact that Juan Manuel Marquez beat 2 TOP division men who have never been stopped in only 2 fights in the weight is amazing enough let alone making the weight, as is at Lightweight he is ALREADY out of his element, I seriously believe he only went up to chase Pacquiao because he really shouldn't stay at LW, and now Mayweather wants him 12 pounds heavier? the fact he made 135 is astonishing enough and now this charmer wants him to gain 12 pounds more where he will obviously no longer be the same fighter. **** all of those listed and anyone else whose names arent Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto and due to age I think mosley should get the 1st crack at Floyd, he deserves it after what he did on January 24th
fighting cotto and mosely with no tune-up is stupid
cotto is busy.
mosley has to weig

This is a COMEBACK FIGHT, and Cotto isn't a option cuz he is facing Clottey in June.

Quintana,just to support a fighter coming off a 2 year layoff!!He is the weakest link,to world class at welterweight,I wouldnt mind seeing Quintana getting that payday,I would have said Collazo,but he is a live dog in any fight and when u rob so many fights from him,1 time they may give him a ud,or sd,I wouldnt want that night to come against floyd!!!

if JMM/Floyd doesn't happen then he can fight a jennings level WW or an equivalent to that.
I think I would go with Spinks should JMM not be able to come off. I do not think the fight would be boring actually, atleast if Spinks fights like he has in his past couple fights.
Out of all the guys listed Spinks posses the best name/threat ratio, I doubt it would be that hard to make either.
JMM is still first choice though.
