Mayweather to Pick Opponent Next Week

For me Martinez beats Floyd at 154, too fast and hits too hard. As usual, that fight is never happening. Canelo, Bradley, Marquez, Guerrero all get beat by Floyd. Pac in 08-10 would have given Floyd hell and possibly won. Now Floyd wins but it should still be a great styles match up. this my friends, is what you call a "hater". Floyd is a small 147lber, and Martinez is a small 160lber, that's still two divisions difference proof that floyd is a small 147lb fighter, he doesn't rehydrate more than 2-3 pounds past 147 in his WW fights, whereas most other 147's will gain much more than that on fight night

He's fighting May 4th and in September. Most likely September 14th. Can anyone name a fighter where Floyd wouldn’t be the favorite from 154 and below? No, I can't. Its going to take someone young, fast and 20 lbs bigger on fight night to give Floyd a tough fight.

We know this first one is gonna be a tune up so I'm guessing that who he picks for May is a good indicator of who he's gonna fight in November. My guess is he is fighting Sergio Martinez in November. He's fighting May 4th and in September. Most likely September 14th. We can all assume that Alvarez (and/or The Ghost) will be in the mix at one point. However as of right now, Alvarez hasn't accomplished anything since everyone including De La Hoya saying that he wasn't ready and too inexperienced for Floyd. No matter who Floyd fights people will have a problem with it as Martinez has already signed a fight and Pac just got KTFO. Plus nobody’s really cared for that fight since Pac looked like a clown last November when he was having all those marriage, drinking, gambling problems. He said he stopped all that but you see where that got him. Floyd can fight any top WW/JMW and everyone will cry about it one way or another because nobody available is good enough. Can anyone name a fighter where Floyd wouldn’t be the favorite from 154 and below?

Oh my God, my opinion differs to yours...I must be new to the sport, makes such logical sense. Oh mighty one, please tell me why Guerrero is the best welterweight on the planet. Haha i have given that exact response many times on this forum! And Guererro is the 2-3 ranked WW, never said best, because he beat the WBC number ranked fighter in Aydin than he beat the stuffing out of Berto who was another highly touted WW. So for me he has earned his shot at Floyd but you for sone reason you still think Pac should get shot cause you probably are going with the moral victory approach that he was looking good before taking a nap. If you are truly new then Welcome and get ready for many questioning tour knowledge. Hope you can keep up cause there are some freaks on here.

would like to see trout in there instead of Guerrero, more of a challenge

Broner-Guerrero were already going back and forth on twitter and face to face wanting to fight each other. Let em go at it. It'll be a good fight. Gamboa gets destroyed by Broner. Mayweather takes too long to decide when he wants to fight. I remember when no one wanted to fight him and he had to call out all the top guys. DLH finally put him in the game and gave him popularity and now he has access to any fight he wants and now the guy doesn't want to fight. He's been pulling these year type delays since 2007. Schit was old a long time ago. I'd prefer to Marquez to fight Rios next since Mathysse is preoccupied with GB. Broner Gamboa is the fight right now and I have Broner out classing Gamboa pretty badly as well. Even though I doubt it happens, I want to see Broner fight JMM which would put Broner on the map win/lose/draw. However right now, I think JMM should go after Bradley's belt. Mosley is fighting Pauli for his WW strap in April. So I think JMM should go after Bradley's WW belt. Pac should take on Guerroro. He's a top 3 WW. When was the last time Pac fought a top 3 WW?

Canelo needs to fight Trout, Kirkland, Lara or Vanes. Guerrero should continue to push for a fight with Broner like they did earlier in the year or fight the winner of Alexander-Brook. Martinez should fight Golovkin or Quillin. Mayweather should leave it alone; I'm sick of him. Count his blessings and ride into the sunset. Broner Guerrero? Why not Broner vs Gamboa? How about Guerrero vs Pac? Martinez vs GGG is good. Why would Mayweather retire? He can fight any top 3 WW/JMW. Other good fights that should be made; Alvarez vs Trout (yet it will probably be Cotto) JMM vs Bradley

Don't even understand the big reluctance in announcing his next fight. If it's Canelo or Guerrero, what's the huge delay? Who else is he considering to fight?

This is the longest week ever Mayweather weeks don't last the same amount of time as a normal week. That's why he's always on vacation, that's like 3 months to him.

If Cotto was able to beat Trout, i would of wanted a May/Cotto II, but i want Cotto to face Trout again, SOON, so then we can get Winner of that facing Canelo. Side note, I hate how Boxing's champions are dicatated by how much money they can generate...rather than there resumes and whatnot. I know its the financially logical thing to do, but i hate it. Why would you want to see Trout vs Cotto again? Trout beat him convincingly what would be different the second time?

Lance Pugmire ‏@latimespugmire Richard Schaefer says he's in middle of negotiations for @FloydMayweather and @caneloOficial next fights, and best TV platform for each. sounds like it aint gonna be canelo. Not surprising as everyone up until a few months ago was screaming that Alvarez hasn't fought anyone and wanted him to fight a real threat before ever fighting Mayweather (who would be cherry picking if he "picked" Alvarez). Hoya himself even suggested that Alvarez wasn't ready and was just too green and untested. I can't think of what changed in those few months. IMO, Alvarez should fight Trout because he beat Cotto. However I wanted Alvarez vs Cotto but that was before Cotto lost. For Floyd, as long as it is a top 3 WW/JMW. If Floyd wasn't as great as he is, The Ghost and him would be a legit WW fight. Due to Floyd being too great, it won't be and people will bash that Floyd is fighting a top 3 WW. I understand how double standards work and Floyd is held to higher standards then any active fighter. So I suggest you prepare yourself that no matter who Floyd fights, if it is not vs a MW, people are going to cry about it. They always have even when he's fighting Champions, #1, #2, #3 ranked fighters. However, can anyone name a fighter 154 and below that would actually be the betting favorite to beat Floyd? Would MW Martinez even be the beating favorite? He would be in my books if it was at MW, haven’t put too much thought for 154 as I haven't seen how Martinez looks at that weight. He should take a tune up or should I say a "tune down" at 154.

He's going old-school and going to be working with his pops in the corner. Uncle Rodger will be present but old man Sr will be the head coach as Rodger is ill and doesn't appear to be getting any better. Hell he looked terrible last May when I seen him.Man, I HOPE this combination works. When was the last time Floyd Jr. had his dad as his trainer? Who did Floyd use when Roger was suspended years ago?

If floyd fought Martinez it would be at 160, If he thought he could beat Martinez weight is no issue and to be undisputed middleweight champ puts Floyd in Ray Robinson category, if he doesnt fight Martinez then he knew what the outcome would be

will the fact that Guerrero is now in the top ten have any effect on who he chooses next or has mayweather already chosen guerrero and is why the ring/gbp made the push for guerrero to be in the top ten

According to every poll, the fans want to see Floyd fight Martinez at 154, just like he fought Cotto at 154. Let's see if it happens.

i wanna see canelo or martinez Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android
