I would like to see Khan fight Mayweather, only once he actually proves himself at 147, just like Ortiz did in beating Berto. If Khan fought Berto, Ortiz, or even Kell Brook at 147, that'd be fine with me. Mayweather will NOT fight Berto. Mayweather already out classed Ortiz by a large margin in his first 4 rounds in 16 months, and Ortiz beat Berto.
Also, it's definitely not a guarantee that Pacquiao will fight Bradley. People are saying "Arum has been talking up Bradley". But, Arum was also talking up a Pacquiao-Cotto rematch in 2012 if Cotto beats Margarito. He also was talking up Mike Jones as well.
I won't have a problem with him unifying with Berto. If he fights Khan that's kool. But I'd prefer Khan earn his stripes against a welterweight 1st, before giving him his chance.
QUOTE=pacfan;11211577]no i won't be mad.
apparently, floyd's fear of pac is genuine. nobody can do anything about it.
but as far as flomo/pactard wars are concerned, flomos lose. floyd will forever become the butt of jokes for years to come.
right dude sure.
No flomo here........but you are wrong.
Pacquiao will forever be known as a guy who ducked steroid test.
Floyd would be known for making his opponents take the test.(ortiz,mosley)
The jokes are gonna be .............scared of needles, cut off dates, and all the other dumb a$$ excuses that Team Pacquiao came up with.
Yes........
Mayweather has to fight somebody because the steroid user won't agree to the test.
Berto,Khan,Bradley,Maidana,Alexander, at welterweight.
Cotto,Alvarez,Margarito,Martinez at 154
The better question is if manny fights Bradley after JMM is that ok? I mean can we have one title defense against a legitimate ww at some point.
Would you give him credit???for fighting Amir or IBF champion Berto??
Yes........

Cotto,Alvarez,Margarito,Martinez at 154

:bigeyes:
Depends on the circumstances. If manny won't take fight because of testing or guranteed purse issues you can't be mad at floyd for looking elsewhere, although I don't know how he could sell fighting berto when he just beat ortiz who killed berto.
Would you give him credit???for fighting Amir or IBF champion Berto??
absolutely not. how can you keep giving him credit if he isnt fighting the best???????
fight pacquiao or go home.
how can you claim your the best of all times if you aint willing to fight the best of our time?
a khan fight after he beats pacquiao would be fine.
I actually will respect Mayweather if he fights Berto.
If Khan fights 2 or 3 matches in Welterweight then faces Mayweather, I have no problem with this scenario too.
Actually, if Mayweather fights and beats Khan and Berto it will increase his legacy because he took on two young better experienced fighters than Ortiz.
I honestly believe that the Ortiz fight didn't enhance Mayweather's legacy but only made a point that he is still sharp and his skills are still there.
I have a strange feeling that Al Hayman may look to cash out on Berto and put him in there with Mayweather.
I don't support this fight. It does nothing for Mayweather's legacy.
But, I would prefer him to even fight Berto to stay busy even though it does nothing for his legacy than him take another 16 months off.
Ideally, I'd like him to fight Martinez next after he beats the p*ss out of Darren Barker.
Floyds NEEDS to fight either Amir Khan or Manny Pacqauio next.
The public and casual boxing fans already feel cheated with there money.
Take Khan outta there. Khan is not a serious threat to Floyd and would get schooled. Khan will surpass my expectations if he manages to win more than a round or 2. Floyd gets little credit from me if and when be beats Khan, when the Pacquiao fight has yet to be made. PAC and Floyd are in a league of their own among the guys at 147 (and 140 for that matter).
Any fight other than Martinez (and we know that won't happen) with Mayweather and Pacquiao that is not against each other deserves to be boycotted.
Mayweather and Pacquiao need to fight, but I suspect we get Floyd-Khan and PAC-Bradley next.
okay,
JMM - Floyd came in at 146 ( 2 pounds over the catchweight) JMM was 142.
JMM - Manny in 2004 fought him at 125, in 2008 129. Both fights were close and the JMM fighting style meant a rematch will be competitive. Floyd weighed an amazing 11 pounds heavier than the opponent JMM last faced.
Mosley- I don't credit either boxer much for this fight. The Margarito win was bit of a smokescreen in my opinion. Some were predicting a Mosley win over Manny too.
I could go on but I am boring myself
manny has had a better resume. last 5 years and overall.
