Whoever Floyd beats, you'll keep raising the bar...

i've heard of dedicated fans before but this is more like gay love.

Personally, I would like to see Mayweather push himself as far as he can go so that we can see just how good he really is. His accomplishments thus far have been formidable but I don't think it is unreasonable for people to challenge a great athlete, and one who isn't slow to remind us all of how great he is, to push the boundaries and embrace the challenges which are in his path.

Mozza. Get off the fence.

Who does he need to beat?

I agree with Tony, right here. My previous posts suggest the same. I have NEVER once said anything negative about Floyd, just who he NEEDS to fight to be an All Time Great.

I want to see PBF fight The "YOUNG", UNDEFEATED LION!!!

Which one?

Interesting how THAT is what comes to mind for you...

The boxing landscape can change very quickly and is dependant on many things but inn the immediate future I would like to see him step into the ring with Cotto, Mosley and after that a fight with either Williams or Cintron. For the record, I'm not saying Mayweather isn't an all time great but I think he should be looking to continue to fight the best out there for at least another 2-3 years.

The bar keeps rising because new fighters keep coming up. The boxing landscape keeps changing. No one was talking about Paul Williams in 2005, Cotto was still fighting bums 2 years ago, and Mosley was still recovering from his losses to Wright...

Mayweather has nothing left to prove after beating Hatton. He will have beat the top fighters from 130-154 in his career. No other fighter can say they not only won titles, but beat the top guy in 5 different divisions...

Mayweather is such a great fighter and has proven his dominance that he will get very little credit for beating Hatton even though Hatton is undefeated, the lineal champion at 140, and in the top 10 P4P. There really isn't a fight out there that can add significantly to his legacy aside from beating the winner of Taylor-Pavlik at 160...

Dios: Floyd doesn't need to do much of anything. he's likely the best ever (or cvlose to it) at 130 lbs. If you're in the race for best ever in a weight class that old, you're in great company. Top 5-10 all time IS TOUGH just because of what some guys got done in their time. I mean, Ray Robinson, San Langford, Harry Greb all the way up to modern greats like Ray Leonard...that's tough company to crack. I don't think it's a matter of 'next three fights' or anything like that. After Hatton he'll be like top 40-ish all-timefor most legitimate current/former champs faced in a career at 7 and likely to get to ten. SRR fought 16 so if PBF gets to ten, in about 1/4 the fights...that's awesome. It's just a matter of time really now that he stopped that garbage semi-retirement he was in from 2003-05, the mess that started all the drama around him. PBF will have far more than 3 more fights; probably more like 8-20. That will give a large picture of him. He's only 30 but that's close to the age when his will, along with his skill, will be tested as it has for all fighters.

I don't think you can say he beat the top fighter at 5 weight divisions unless he fights and beats Hatton at 140 and to say that wins over Mosley or Cotto wouldn't add anything to his legacy is sheer drivel.

$pam: GUARANTEE I'll give mad props if he dominates Hatton and regular props if he wins clean. Hatton is highly underrated by American fans who haven't gotten the news that the boxing sun really doesn't rise and set here anymore.

I forgot Hatton becomes an average fighter when he fights at welterweight, so we can't give Mayweather any credit for that win.

Mosley and Cotto add to Floyd's legacy just a little bit. Mayweather would be a heavy favorite against either of them...
