Roger Mayweather: "He'll Fight 5+ More Fights"

[AntonTheMeh]

But the expectations of the boxing fan is not "Floyd needs to beat Hatton, Witter and Juan Diaz". The expectation is that "Floyd needs to beat Cotto, Mosley and Williams".

So, in that context, I don't believe that cleaning out 140 would get FMJ any props.

If Zab was smart, HE would go to 140. There are great fights at JWW for Zab:

Witter: a redemption fight, and a big name for Junior. And a belt for zab.

Malignaggi: "The Battle for Brooklyn". And they have trash-talked each other.

Salita: When's the last time you remember two ***ish fighters going at it?

yeah but there are no names in the 154 division.he sees it for the taking.

Let's think about that:
no names = no big money.

names = money. At a lower weight. Easier fights. Where his power still carries.

What would YOU do?

I suspect Floyd will stay down, maybe even 140, and try to finish his career with an exclamation point, instead of what we've been getting. But, having said that, 135 IMO was the last time he had comparable power. And, even then he had plenty of tough fights.

To be honest, the only fighters left for PBF to fight are: Mosley and Cotto. He does not have to prove anything by fighting the likes of Williams or Margarito.

[Easy-E]

Fine, Cintron/Williams would be a good fight, THEN can we see Mayweather fight Cotto or Williams or Cintron or ANYONE not with a walker?

Yeah, De La Hoya is better than Margarito, Williams and Cintrion.

I agree.. Anything else would just be for money..........

As you've said previously, his comp at 140 wasn't high-level.

But ...

Corley - 3 knockdowns

Bruseles - 2 KD's, stopped him in 8

Gatti - stopped him in six

Sharmba* - stopped him in six

Judah*- punished him late after an iffy start

His 140 work still showed good pop. The jump to iron-chinned guys at 147/154 was the tipping point.

* guys I consider as JWW's, and real full-sized welters.

[Jim Jeffries]

Yeah, De La Hoya is better than Margarito, Williams and Cintrion.

Not any more he isn't, 5 years ago, sure.

[Fox McCloud]

yeah but there are no names in the 154 division.he sees it for the taking.

Forrest would for sure beat him. Spinks might beat him in a rubber match too. Bigger slicksters with more power.

Not to mention Forrest is just better than Judah.

The Vernon Forrest who fought Baldomir would kill Zab judah. But my guess is that an inactive, 36 year old Forrest with a string of injury issues has very little left.

I don't expect much going forward.
