Mayweather-Bruseles: Why?

[Mr. Ryan]

Floyd Mayweather Jr., thought to be pound for pound either 1 or 2, has selected a perfunctory opponent as his next test: Henry Bruseles. Bruseles, 21-2 (13 KO), is a Puerto Rican fighter who has no recognizable names on his record. The fight is scheduled to take place January 22, 2005 in Miami, Florida. This fight is simply a Roy Jones-esque showcase so one sided, I would've sworn Don King was his promoter. This is not the way to make your case as pound for pound the best. No word on if HBO will elect to broadcast the contest.

Its not Floyd's fault. Floyd moved up and Arum postintioned him for a fight with Gatti by having him fight Corley and getting him ranked #1 by the WBC. Gatti's people talked it up like they wanted the fight and then when the fight was in there face they ran away from it.

It's not a test it's just an easy fight Top Rank has given him in order to setup a fight with Gatti if he beats Leija.

I wouldnt be surprise if Floyd waited around for this and Gatti ends up vacating. Floyd would be ****ed and pissed then

[brickhouse187]

Floyd needs to fight someone good soon or he is going to lose his respect from me. He has to let the Gatti fight go and realize his team does not want this fight.

[brickhouse187]

Gatti's Team!

[Nick1998]

yea this is bad. He could have fought someone like branco or someone with a little credibility for a tuneup but this is just horrible. I hope HBO doesnt broadcast.

[LuKahnLi]

HBO should reject Bruseles outright.

[Nick1998]

If HBO does broadcast I cant wait to see what Larry will say to Floyd after the fight. I know everybody remembers Larry after the BHOP/Hakkar fight.
