Dan Rafael: "Something may be 'BREWING' about a Mayweather fight in the fall"

[check hook]

I love how everyone calls Rafael "Fat Dan" now....

it will be someone he can make money with, that means it's going to be Ortiz or Cotto. Berto may be a dark horse.

Berto is fighting Zaveck in August. Cotto signed to fight Chavez already he just needs him to beat Zbik.

I think it has to be Ortiz, Bradley or Martinez.

thanks for the info.......Ortiz is def most likely, he is a SP at 47, has a strap (even though Floyd may not want it), marketable and importantly he is with golden boy.

No chance it's Bradley. Martinez is a pipe dream. It's obviously Ortiz. If anybody that is.

Floyd doesn't need belts

Whoever it is, it won't be anyone who can punch or challenge his zero loss column, you can bet on that.

I'm definitely curious to see who is will be, Martinez does have an open date of October 1st, Ortiz seems like the logical move

Aside from the fact there is no one who can. but he did beat and fight 4 straight p4p ranked fighters DLH, Hatton, Marquez then Mosley. Mayweather is challenging himself but like he said he makes great fighters look ordinary

Sad fact is if Floyd fought Ortiz that would be a Tougher opponent than Floyd or manny has fought in a very long time. Neither of them have fought a tough hungry young fighter in there prime in ages.

It looks like Ortiz tbh. Lets look at the possibilities.

Pacquiao is more or less signed to fight JMM, and it's clearly not Pacquiao because we'd hear something from Bob etc.

It's not Cotto. Cotto is with Top Rank so unlikely seeing as Mayweather (despite saying he's self promoted) is a Golden Boy fighter. His last four fights have been with a Golden Boy fighter and he ALWAYS says "Golden Boy and Mayweather Promotions are the future of boxing"...he might run to Don King every now and then but lets face it, Mayweather likes doing business with Golden Boy, and he is more or less their fighter, even though he doesn't like to admit it. So Cotto is out IMO.

Bradley is also out for me, mainly because Schaefer wouldn't bother going to all that trouble making Bradley vs Khan, if he knew Mayweather wanted the fight.... would he?

It won't be Alexander, he likes him too much and he needs to rebuild after his last outing.

It won't be Zab, as that fight has been done and dusted....won't happen again and I believe they're friends now?

It won't be anyone like JCC Jnr, and thank god it won't as well...

Martinez is VERY unlikely. Huge risk, low reward, plus Marvilla is too big..even if he comes down to Jnr Middle, he'll rehydrate to 175 ish and that just isn't fair for Mayweather...if he does fight Martinez, mad respect for him though haha!

Doubt it's Khan...I mean I think Khan knows deep down he hasn't got the skills to beat him yet and that he should try building up to mega fights like that....plus if he fights in July, he won't fight again till end of the year most probably.

Ortiz....just came off a huge win, won Floyd's old welterweight strap, has a Mexican following, is Golden Boy, is marketable and is a welterweight. Personally I'd rather see Floyd fight Pacquiao or Martinez as they'd be his biggest challenges and they're the only two worthy IMO. Thats not to say Ortiz wouldn't be a good fight....

But I mean, who deserves Pac or May these days?? No one really....Gone are the days where people worked HARD for the cash cows of boxing. Mayweather beating everyone at welterweight to make the Oscar fight, Mosley being undefeated light weight champ to get Oscar, Pacquiao beating everyone notable at the lower weights to be a PPV attraction, heck even Hatton had to wait around 40 odd fights before getting Mayweather or Hatton....these new guys... Bradley, Berto, Ortiz and Khan...they're getting millions and being offered big fights and they're not doing a huge deal to deserve them? Kind of disappointing....wish there was someone more worthy other than Pac and Martinez.
