Mosley fought Margarito last year and now Berto, two of the best at the weight.


      WOW...really, WOW

        Doesn't Golden Boy realize that all they are doing is hurting there fighters' marketability when they match their guys up with Floyd? The only reason I want a Mosley fight to happen is because I know Floyd will have some **** to deal with. And Mosley will likely retire in a couple years anyway, so he's not a long term investment like a guy like Saul Alvarez is.

        JMM was outweighed big time and Alvarez isn't experienced enough to fight Mayweather. I'll bet the casual fans who don't know anything about boxing who ordered that fight with Floyd and JMM think JMM is a bum and don't want to see him fight again when people who are aware with what's going on know that that's not the case. That fight would've been more competitive if JMM was bigger because he actually hit Floyd with some good, sneaky shots every now and then. The *****s can take it for what it's worth.

          Rick,

          I find it hard to believe that Floyd will fight on March 13 and then also fight on May 1. Lets be real Floyd is not the most active fighter out there and has never been. I doubt he will fight twice in 7 weeks.

          Also, will HBO chose the propose Floyd-Alvarez fight over Pac-Clottey?

          What I see more realistic is Floyd fighting Alvarez for the May 1 date.... And, push JMM out of it... Or maybe have JMM on the undercard?

          And, I also read that Arum is in New York for a meeting with one of Alvarez peoples to see if they can reach deal to have Saul with Top Rank. How true is that?

              He probably will be though. It's a piss poor way of signing him, I'll tell you that much. And what I said about JMM is probably spot on. And why are people bringing up Pac in this thread? At least Clottey is a ranked guy even if he did lose against Cotto.

                Alvarez is still a teenager if I'm not mistaken. Thats just as bad as GBP going to an amatear tournament and picking one of those guys for his next fight. Alvarez is too green and still a prospect despite his record. I really wish more Mexicans would stand up, because it would be disgusting for GBP to pimp their fan base for a second time.

                    Google "Wilfredo Benitez vs. Antonio Cervantes".

                      Yet another tune-up. Take away Oscar and Floyd has fought nothing bur tune ups for the past 7 years. The ATG fraud.
