    khan or martinez.

    i feel like berto/ortiz is sort of a letdown. Better than nothing, but also not something that makes me excited.

    i guess he could give bradley a beating, and that would satisfy me. But hes bound to top rank.

      Hopefully Martinez at 154 lbs. Which should be a weight that Sergio should make comfortably without draining himself too much. Of course the most hardcore of the Floyd haters would still find something to complain about. Not only that, but the ESPN morons like Bayless and Wilbon will still find a way to call Floyd a coward for fighting a bigger guy that is the real middleweight champion but whatever.

      I'd much rather pay for Floyd vs. Sergio than Pac vs. JMM 4. **** Arum.

        Something makes me feel like it will be Amir Khan, which is fine with me.

            Fight Martinez at 156lbs. Floyd could come in at 149-150. Martinez-Mayweather is more exciting.

              I hope it's Martinez though.


              edit: Khan is fighting Peterson, so It's probably Martinez
              Khan is fighting Peterson in December, despite the desire to fight in February, Floyd still has his eyes set on a May 5th date. If it's May 5th, Mayweather vs Khan has more than enough time to be signed, promoted, and the fighters can train properly.

              As for who I think Floyd will fight...if it's not Khan in May 5th, it could Maidana in February. OR it can be a relatively easy fight[by Floyd's standards] against Robert The Ghost Guerrero in May 5th. The Ortiz-Berto winner is not out of the question.

              Sergio Martinez is the best and most challenging fight there, but not the biggest fight. The biggest fight is Amir Khan, which is also the second most competitive fight, after Martinez.


              And no it won't be Bradley. Bradley is a Top Rank fighter. Floyd, since leaving Top Rank, has never fought a Top Rank fighter. If he's going to fight a Top Rank fighter, it's gonna be Manny Pacquiao and no one else. Bradley needs to build up the Bradley Brand. So you guys should save your energy and not even type Bradley, Cotto, or any of the Top Rank bums[Bradley ain't a bum but the rest are].

                And yeah I can see Mayweather vs Alvarez also, if Canelo looks good and beats Cintron.

                But IMO, Canelo should beat Cintron, then if Kirkland-Molina happens, the winner of that fight gets Canelo, and the winner of Canelo vs Kirkland/Molina...gets Floyd in late 2012. If Canelo manages to beat Cintron and Kirklan/Molina winner, that would look pretty impressive in hyping up a fight with Floyd and no one will be able to say Canelo didn't earn his shot at the P4P King.

                  Bigger than Berto?

                  I like the way you call Cotto a 'bum'

                  They won't sacrifice Alvarez to Mayweather.

                      If its FEB, which is a big IF, I think it could be Sergio Martinez. Who else could it be??? Maidana, why??? Maidana is good and in his prime, but hasn't done much since Khan beat him.

                      I think it will be Sergio or the Berto-Ortiz II winner.

                      Also, if Alvarez can beat Cintron and than Kirkland or Cotto, I think he would deserve a fight with Floyd in early 2013, possibly one of Floyd's last fights.

                      Crazy how the public FINALLY realizes how f**ked up Pac and Arum are, and how we know they are avoiding the fight now.
