Floyd is taking a really long time to pick an opponent for May so I take this as the majority of fans are not happy with his pick. His September opponent is going to have to versus a live opponent where people may think he has a chance to lose. Everyone knows Floyd is not losing to Khan and Maidana. The public is not going to except a lesser opponent in September.
If Floyd had his way the Khan fight would be have signed and done deal weeks ago.
Exactly. He is number 1 in the sport he needs to fight at a higher catch weight or 154. There is no one left at 147. Bradley and Pac thats it. Neither of those fights are happening so he needs to go up. Floyd's to good for his own good.
I hoped bradley would leave top rank so he could fight floyd in september or next year but that didnt happen...
At 154 there is lara but it probably won't sell so i don't see it happening.
The best fight that should have taken place is martinez at 154 or a catchweight. I don't get why it didn't happen. Martinez looks beatable and he is willing to move down for floyd. The other big fight at 154 is golovkin but the chances for that is slim to none.
I hope he fights Danny Garcia in September. That was the fight that should have happened this May.
But he better fight someone like that if he doesn't at least fight Maidana, and chooses Khan.
Money talked him out it. People werent going to buy it. Just like the way money is talking Floyd out of picking Khan. Floyd always talks about PPV numbers and doesnt want a let down.
If you really think this so be it.
Who are the fighters in september that would fit the criteria of "has a chance of losing against"?
So you think floyd wanted to fight Devon instead of ghost and NSB talked him out of it?

Floyd is so special that barring Manny Pacquaio, and even he's an underdog, that nobody from the stacked weight classes of 140 to 154 is a viable fight...
Id like Pac or GGG/Martinez but failing that a young buck who's live and can bang like Keith Thurman
Mayweather will fight whoever he wants to fight and the public will have no say in it. He could fight Micky Mouse and still make lots of money. He is fighting Khan, the winner of a rigged poll and that fight will make money even though most fans hate the fight. There are enough devoted Mayweather fans that will pay to see him fight anybody that he will always make money even fighting a weak opponent.
its like this;
he puts up a bullsh1t poll...Khan wins the poll and gets the fight
people b1tch because Maidana was more deserving
Floyd whoops Khan
then Floyd, the ever generous people's champ, will 'give us what we want' and fights Maidana in September
2 easy fights, Floyd's pocket grows and we all dished out $70 for both fights
*group hug suckers*
I think you could be right...I think a lot of people will see through that though, Floyd's pockets wouldn't be looking so full if the majority of people realise that play.
I see noone at threat to floyd so does it matter who he fights ?? Theres noone left at 147 for him to fight . @ 154 there are no good names there either .
May vs lara wont sell lara has no fan base
ggg needs to fight quillin before he looks at floyd
theres noone to fight and floyd beats all of them easy
You're right. He should retire.

Floyd was trying to fight Devon but the fans didn't want it. My point is he wont be able to fight guys like Amir Khan and Maidana. Peope will expect foes that he has a chance of losing against.

I would caution you here. Last time everyone was sold on Devon when it was ghost. Then a number of posters was sure it wouldn't be Canelo, and then it was.
We agree a floyd v khan fight is not a good fight. But you should wait until it is officially announced then you might have a better idea what happens in Sept.

ya im scratching my head here really....cuz floyd/danny is logical....but danny, if hes looking for this fight in september...should prob be looking for a "sharmba mitchell" fight to test himself at 147 first....i think it would be strange for danny to go right to 147 in september....so i think danny is thinking more of may next year if at all
I dont think Garcia wants the fight right now.
ok. but since he hasn't announced who he is fighting yet, how do you reach the conclusion regarding the Sept fight?
don't you have to see who he fights in May and what happens in that fight before you have enough info?

Floyd dosen't really have any good options at 147, maybe maidana or garcia for september.

im disappointed in danny garcia...kids next fight should be at 147 and he should be looking for floyd in september
I agree. Floyd should be selling us Danny Garcia even if Danny isnt ready.
By that I mean Danny is really good but I do not think he has hit his prime yet. I would still take Garcia fighting Floyd over Khan and Maidana.
