If Not Pacman, who Mayweather should fight next

[treason1]

Because, it was BS. How do you go from "it's finished business" in 2008. To 3 years later at a weight-class that's not suited for JMM to "unfinished business"? And, then take that he didn't even have an easy time still in a weight-class that suits Pac more than an aging JMM. Then yes it's BS.

I fail to mention? WTF? I'm sorry did Pac fight Cotto right after Cotto edged out a win against Mosley? Or did he fight him years after the fact? Were Cotto had looked vulnerable 2 out of his previous 3 fights? Why not look at it this way. He fought Cotto instead of fighting the REAL CHAMP of the division, you know? The guy who sonned Cotto's daddy. That's another way if you want to look at it and spin things.

Again, how in God's name did Morales ducked JMM for years?

manny didnt fight cotto right away because he had bigger fish to fry !!! osacr & hatton who he just so happened to rite both of them!!!!! as soon as he was finished with them he wasted no time and went straight for cotto!!!!! if mosley wasnt preoccupied with berto he wouldve taken him next !!!!!!! and i disagree mwith you on marquez vs manny3 it was a great fight !!!! i did not come away from the fight feeling i was robbed !!!!! and as far as moralles ducking marquez for yrs , i wrote a highly regarded peice on that last yr and it was about 7 paragraphs long breaking down all the specifics and everyone that read it even the people that hate my guts admitted i was right !!!! i will look for the post and post it in here trust me you will see the light !!!!!

I expect Floyd to always face the best, regardless of what ****** trolls say Floyd always fights formidable opponents just that everybody craps on them after Floyd beats them. So the best, and realistic fights to be made, are against Martinez and Khan. I'm not too sure that Khan would fight Floyd with only 2 months to prepare after his fight against Peterson, but I don't think he would turn it down if Golden Boy would propose it. Martinez takes this fight in a heartbeat.

A Canelo fight is also intriguing, but that needs more time to build up.

Fights against Bradley, Cotto/Margarito winner, *insert Top Rank opponent*, are almost unrealistic because we know that scum bag Arum will now allow his stable to get eaten up by Floyd.

I seriously doubt Floyd fights in February....I don't know why anyone believes that he will...He has never been one of the most active fighters. And, now with his age and even with all the money he makes. It unrealistic for him to fight in February and then again in May.

If he does fight next year. It will be in May. And, depending on how Khan and Canelo look like in their next fight. Will decide if he fights or not. If both look like meh.....You might see him take another vacation. If one or the other look damn good in an impressive win then that's his next opponent in May.

Anyone wondering why Manny didn't fight Cotto after Cotto edged out Mosley is a perfect example of not being a fan of boxing in 2007 and having no idea what they're talking about.

You could be right, just hopeful thinking on my part. I just really think (hopeful thinking again) that Floyd wants Pacquiao on May and that he's trying to squeeze in another fight before that, since the Ortiz fight didn't last long.

Why do you not include Martinez in the equation? Don't see that fight going down?

I don't see it going down...Not right now anyways. Plus I think Martinez is going to fight Macklin in March.

I can see Floyd fighting Martinez maybe at the end of next year if anything.

That looks likely, Macklin-Martinez.

Although, I think Martinez would put that aside if Mayweather approached them.

I don't really care too much to see Macklin -Martinez anyway.

LOL @ Hatton being a "bigger fish to fry" Hatton...

And, anyways by the time Pac fought Oscar, Cotto had already been sonned by Marg. After that he wasn't the same that fought Mosley. And, again why even wait to have Mosley preoccupied with Berto? Why not fight the #1 guy in the division first? Again, the guy who sonned Cotto(Pac opponent) daddy?

It wasn't a great fight, but that's beyond the point. The fight should have happened years ago in a weight-class that not only suited Pac but JMM as well...However, at the time Pac said, it was "finished business" funny how they thought of it being a walk park made that business unfinished from Pac side.

And, yes go show me that epic post of Morales ducking JMM...And, then I show you how JMM turned down a career highpay to fight Morales as a main even PPV in 2005 by out pricing himself out....Go....

I don't care too much for it either. And, of course Martinez will put that aside. But, I'm not confident that Floyd will push for that fight just yet.

I say Amir Khan makes the most sense right now financially. he's already a star to some degree and the buildup would be tremendous. probably the next best fight that will make the most money for him.

on Cinco De mayo I would say after Margarito beats Cotto again fight Tony

[Toney Loc]

2. Floyd never ducked Margarito. I wouldn't argue against anyone saying he ducked Cotto at the end of '07 early 08', but not Margarito.

Ducked him in '06, bro. He fought Baldomir instead.
