Floyd's next fight

[Thread Stealer]

If not Pacquiao, then Martinez.

Khan IS a cherry-pick. Any WW fight Manny or Floyd take that isn't against each other is a cherry-pick.

Khan would be lucky to win 2 rounds. Floyd is leaps and bounds more skilled, intelligent, versatile....basically just a much better fighter than Amir.

I have been wanting Floyd to ruthlessly beat the piss out of Amir Khan for a long time.

I get your point because there is no way he should be able to stay with Floyd and is no where near as strong mentally as Mayweather so I don't see how he doesn't get eaten alive.

Still call it a guilty pleasure I want to see it just because, I couldn't much credit but I would enjoy ever moment of the fight.

You'll probably get your wish next year.

As frustrating as Mayweather is with how he's handled his career, he is still a joy to watch. If you dislike Khan, the fight will be extra enjoyable.

I don't even overly dislike Khan, that is the funny part. Just watching him I can tell Floyd will put on a show against that guy, no doubt.

It will clearly show the difference between a real boxer and a strictly outside fighter which most people never seem to grasp.

I am a sucker for that I guess, I am pretty sure you are right though and we will see it next year.

I'd like to see him fight Sergio at 160, 'cos he'll get smashed up!
He says he's gonna fight Khan but i ent banking on that one happenin still... Floyd's words should always be taken with a handful of salt...
Realisticly, and knowing Floyd, i think he'll go for either a rematch with Ortiz or a poor fight with Morales to unify the division...
If he's to much of a p*ssyhole to fight Margarito, Cotto, Manny, Tszyu etc... etc... then i can't see him puttin his 0 at risk against Sergio at his prefered weight, even Cenalo is unlikely IMO...
They would all be good fights though apart from Ortiz rematch...

Morales to unify WHAT division??? Morales is a 140 lb champion right now, Floyd is at 147 lbs. You proved yourself ignorant there.

Floyd NEVER ducked Cotto. Mayweather and his camp had been calling out Cotto since 2006, to which Top Rank replied, "Cotto isn't ready for Mayweather". Than, once Floyd retires after Hatton, Cotto comes out of the woodwork and says Floyd is avoiding him. You can't say Floyd ducked Cotto.

If you want to say Floyd ducked Margarito, Pacquiao, and Tszyu...than Manny ducked Berto and Mosley in 2010, Ortiz in 2011, Mayweather and random testing, as well as rematches with Marquez (4 years the 1st time and 3 1/2 years the 2nd time) and Barrera (4 years).

Besides, Hatton beat Tszyu, and Floyd beat down Hatton. Also, after the Mayweather-Judah fight Floyd split with Arum. Arum and Floyd both said they would never do business together again, and than Arum comes out and says Floyd doesn't want to fight Margarito (a top rank guy). But, didn't Arum say he'd never do business with Floyd again???

Your boy Pacquiao still hasn't agreed to test until fight day...Koncz and Ariza have confirmed this. Also, were Pacquiao, Arum, and his entire team really trying to make a Mayweather fight happen??? The 1st negotiations (only really ones), Pacquiao flat out never agreed to 14 days. Pac fought Clottey (who hadn't won a fight on 2 years) and Mayweather fought Mosley (WBA Champ coming off knocking Margarito out). Than, Arum claims there were contract talks in June-July 2010, and everything was agreed upon, and they just needed Floyds signature. But, Margarito came out after his fight with Pacquiao and said that Arum had agreed in February 2010 to have him fight Pacquiao in November 2010! Than, Mosley said after his fight with Pac that Arum had agreed in October 2010 to have him fight Pacquiao in May 2011. Than, in July 2011, Koncz came out and said Manny never agreed to testing within 14 days of the fight, clearly a lie by Arum and Pacquiao. Than, Ariza comes out in late September and says they will only do the tests provided by the boxing commissions. Now supposedly, Bradley is lined up to fight Pac in May 2012, but supposedly they still want to try and make a fight with Mayweather next. RIIIIIIGHT.

Mayweather fought Ortiz, in his prime, coming off big wins. Why didn't Manny fight Ortiz??? After Ortiz beat Berto, Ortiz said he wanted to fight Pacquiao next. Manny fans were saying, "Yeah have Pacquiao fight Ortiz. That would be a good fight". What does Pacquiao do???? He signs on to fight Marquez at 144, 2 years after Mayweather already did, and when Marquez is believed to be a shell of his former self. Why not fight Victor Ortiz??? Then, Mayweather accepts to fight Victor Ortiz, and gets criticized for "cherry picking" someone????? The Floyd haters/Manny lovers are amazing. If Floyd agrees to fight Martinez at 154, which has been rumored, I have no doubt in my mind that people will say "Martinez didn't look quite as good against Barker and now Floyd is cherry picking him". No doubt.

If Floyd picks Berto, I don't care. At least he's in his prime. LIke I said before, I have no problem with Manny or Floyd picking Berto, simply because he's still the 3rd or 4th best WW in the world, in his prime, and it would be to unify the divisions. I would be more interested in a Pacquiao-Berto fight though, simply because Pacquiao is an agressive puncher, as well as Berto.

Never noticed yu replied b. Good post. I'll reply to this inabit still, but yu probably won't like it......
I'm not a Mayhater, but he pisses me the **** off when he comes out with all these accusations against possible opponents and claims that he's the best there ever was.... when he ent, he might be an ATG, but low down on the top 50 list....
n i agree that Manny can be just as bad as Floyd with is cherrypicking, and no, i won't say Floyd cherrypicked Martinez if they fought, 'cos Sergio still look world class even with a poor performance, and Barker was in the best shape he's ever been and fought well. Just like i wouldn't say he cherrypicked Manny if he fought him off a bad performance. Manny's one of the best, and, like it says underneath this post, 'yu gotta beat the best, to be the best'
I'll reply later today probably, but that is one Long post man.....
