      I considered calderon. But his English isn't good enough.

      Katsidis could bring the Anglo fans and the fans who like the brawling style.

      The way to beat Mayweather is to swarm him and not give him room to breathe. Katsidis is the best at that.

          How many times have I heard that. Still though watching him beat up Khan would be great TV.

            Floyd 'hurts' Team MAyweather if he doesn't choose to fight. But he isn't hurting the sport. Similarly, it hurt the Lions org, but not "the sport", when Barrry retired.

            Floyd's career and legacy is his. Solely. He can do what he wants with it. For any fan to get angry is ludicrous. I am not one of the fans - of any sport - that feels an athlete "owes" me something. Honest performances in the ring. That's it. If John Daly, who is very talented, wants to drink his career away...HIS career. There will be someone else to take his spot.

            Floyd isn't taking anything away from anyone. Not licensing fees, not WCB or BAD dates, not promotional budgets or efforts, nothing. Floyd's imprint is such that you should be able to strike a line through his name and it not affect anyone else. That is essentially what happened the past two years.


            He tells Shane. "Not interested. Do you". If Floyd strung Shane along "I'll fight you...wait...wait...wait". And then he pulled out, then yes. That would be jacked up. He isn't doing that. He told all those guys to go do their thing.

            Mangler and I had this discussion earlier, and it is one of the few "Mr Boat buyer" things we agree on: Floyd isn't ruining anything for anybody.
            You're in denial man. Two years ago EVERYONE who knew boxing thought that Floyd left the sport prematurely without ever gracing it with some of it's best match ups. Sure, nothing made a blip because nothing happened. If those fights had been made 2 years ago Boxing would have more fans, more revenue, more exposure, and Floyd would have a clear, concrete legacy.

            If May-Pac, May-Cotto, May-Mosley, May-Williams don't get made then he's hurting boxing by depriving it of everything those fights could potentially give to the sport and the fans.

                Hatton was beating Floyd until the ref threw Ricky off his game. If Katsidis gets a fair ref, he can use his aggressive style.

                The way to beat Floyd is to throw combinations. And go to his body.

                    I think Floyd scratched JuanMa off the list. JML has a fight in January, and wouldn't be ready for the March date HBO has penciled in.
