    I see you, but those last two are why I kept it at 3 instead of going 5. The Canelo fight is still far away. Alvarez would do big numbers, but he doesn't have much of a resume to stand on- that probable win would be devalued instantly.

    I know Maidana is your boy, but Floyd would stomp on him. If ever there were a matchup that would be Floyd-Gatti all over again, it's that one.

      He has the height; range, speed, pretty much overall athleticism, but Bradley is better all around, Bradley is the better infighter, body puncher, counter puncher, better defensive fighter, more durable too. So he'll give Floyd different looks.

      Thing is, in the bold, that's the only thing he has that's similar to a prime Oscar.

        khan still has time so he's not priority. seeing berto as a possibility down the road.
        You know, if Berto can beat Ortiz and, depending on how he looked doing it, put another big win or two on his ledger, I wouldn't mind that fight.

          I get you. My thinking is Khan, even though he fights at 140, is a naturally bigger man than Floyd. As much as I want to see Sergio, he's so much larger that 160 would be a huge disadvantage for Floyd, and vice-versa, 150-154 would likely sap Sergio and taint that fight in my eyes. It'd have to be 160 or bust, for me, and though it'd be disappointing, I'd understand if it didn't happen so long as Floyd fights quality opponents around his weight.
          Floyd could never compete at 160 you're right, he's an average size 147 pounder. But he showed he could **** with De La Hoya at 154, and Martinez who is by today's standards a small middleweight could probably still make 154. He came in at 158 for his last fight and last fought Jr. middle in '09 so 4 pounds probably won't kill him.

                my top 3 differs from mayweathers current top 3 of morales , mayorga , and alverez !!!! i picked some match up the fans would actually like to see instead of stiff tomato cans floyd perfers !!!!!!


                1.sergio. why because he has a awkward style and he has one shot ko power that would force mayweather to be one his game all night long .

                2. amir kunt. why because he is fast and might be a style nightmare

                3. bertto . why hes fast and strong (pause)

                i posted this in the other thread by accidently !!!!

                  The fight's left for Mayweather I really want to see and that enhance his legacy are Pacquaio and Martinez.
