As usual looking for some feedback. the possible opponents for mayweather jr, so ive heard are matthew hatton or paulie. Im sorry but with all the welterweights out there this cant be it. forget about the pac drug fiasco,if hes moving on why with these boxers.
Id be happy with a top ten welterweight. why does floyd as talented as he is, insist on talking tuff but then fighting soft. you have williams,mosley,clottey, shit id rather see him fight quintana or cintron over hatton. well let me know what you think. if your a bias floyd fan maybe you dont agree with me but it is what it is.
Nowhere near as big, and he'd get nowhere near as much money as he can currently command. He's not a popular fighter both because of his negative backfoot fighting style and his disrespectful attitude. It wouldn't be like Oscar and Hatton who can both lose yet still retain a big fanbase.
yeah, but that doesn't excuse him from ducking pac.
floyd would still be a draw even without his 0, just not as big.

yeah but if he thinks Pac's on steroids in his mind he risks losing his 0.
think about it, if Floyd loses his 0 he's automatically no longer a draw, he has no fans, no box office appeal because his style is boring and if he takes a bad beating he may no longer be the same fighter. His only selling point is that he's undefeated, a winner, lose that and he's done.
Floyd can make that 40 million over the next 10 years fight by fight without ever surrendering his 0 whilst forcing smaller fighters up to 147. Boxing is like an atm for him.
he was able to make a packet out of the Marquez fight which was never going to be competitive.

yes i know cause he's undefeated. if he wasn't no one would let him get away with that type of shit. they wouldn't pay for it and they wouldn't stand for it. he's basically forced himself into fighting easy fights.
I think after this, Mayweather being a draw will take a hit..
Duck too many real fighters and everyone starts to notice, and the media will keep bringing this stuff up (just look at what happened after the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight)..
I hope that after the March 13th fight, Pac fights the Winner of the Mosley vs Berto and unify the Welterweight title. If he wins, he should retire and not give the ducker Floyd a fight and a chance at the "big" money.
The Ring Magazine needs to do this right, Whoever wins the Mosley vs. Berto fight should get the #2 in the Pound for Pound list. Dropping the fraud a few notches down for this BS.

but the pac fight is the most lucrative fight he could've made and he ducked that fight.

no he won't be able to get anymore easy money. easy fights against overmatched opponents for huge paydays. he will be forced to fight someone tough to make those huge paydays. and we know he does not want to do that.
he was able to make a packet out of the Marquez fight which was never going to be competitive.
If he loses his 0 he won't get any money. He's smart enough to know that.

that's why I never took the "money" moniker seriously... floyd doesn't want money, he just wants to keep his 0.

not true at all. mosley cotto or pac would have made him much more money than fighting marquez. was an argentinian journeyman who had been on hbo once supposed to make him the most money or fame? he's so insecure about losing he will take less money to guarantee victory.

Exactly... He cares about his undefeated record more than anything.. he can give a hit what the fans think. He'll be happy saying that he went undefeated and people will remember like rocky marciano..
It's a shame..he never fights a top 10 welter
Agree completely. This is how Floyd thinks, not in 'ooh i'm scared to fight that guy'. Whoever brings the money and stardom. It sucks but that's just how he operates.

Floyd goes for the most money, we know that, no point in ranting, it won't change. It's not his fault the current welterweights couldn't make it to stardom by themselves. He was at a point considering undefeated Miguel Cotto but after the Margarito fight he lost interest. Both Shane and Margarito have too many losses. Marquez was the p4p #2 and Pacquiao is the p4p #1 guy so that's why he wanted them. Now if people actually gave Mayweather the credit he deserves he wouldn't feel the need to maximize the opponents so much. He wouldn't get credit for beating Shane, COME ON! He's 39 years of age! Margarito can't really fight for shit but had some very heavy hands (could be natural we'll never know). But with those many loses Floyd would get any credit as well. Williams is the only duck i think Mayweather SHOULD make because really, Williams in a yes night is a nightmare and the money, well lets just say the kid has less of a personality than Cotto.
For Floyd the question is: Who could make him +15 million for a fight? That's who he's getting. Matthew Hatton has the whole UK thing and him beating his big brother, there a storyline there which can sell the fight very well. Yes Mat sucks and he'll get KOed but to the casual fan that could be pretty interesting. And it's the casual fan who pays for shit, not us.

Ive only heard this as an unsubstantiated rumor from sources other than Floyd...
yet you believe it...
its believable because it's floyd's M.O.
this is what he does: duck tough fights and take easy fights.
