Who will Mayweather Announce as his Next Opponent?

[The Gambler1981]

Per the poll right now, if Mayweather names Cotto. Boxingscene will not have been outfoxed on this announcement. Excited to hear if we're correct.

Well I don't know who that source was that said Canelo was the guy, it looked like it was linked to the Bradley report and who really has good sources with both camps like that.

Will be interesting to see who it is, probably more interesting than the fight itself.

If Canelo loses to Mayweather, someone everyone thinks is a bit too experienced for Canelo right now anyway.. He will not lose a step in his career. He'll only become more popular and a bigger PPV draw. Fighting Mayweather would likely be good for Canelo's career imo win, lose or draw.

It would only be really bad if Mayweather makes a complete and utter mockery of Canelo in the ring. If it's just a dominant decision or even a late knockout however? I think it's still good for Canelo's career.

IF he looks like he belongs in the ring with Mayweather he doesn't even need to win, he is minted.

IF he get humiliated on the biggest stage of his career, tough to say how he will respond, that kind of mental hit can be hard to overcome for a fighter.

To me if you are GBP you don't take that risk with a Canelo who appears to be their future meal ticket unless there is a reason.

I think all Canelo has to do to be minted. Is look nearly as decent as Ortiz did when he was getting outboxed by Mayweather. While Mayweather was fully fully winning those rounds for the most part, if Canelo can even look like he's in the right building. The attention and media coverage he'd get from a Mayweather fight would be tremendous for his career.

He just needs to be sure not to get knocked out of the ropes in the first 6 rounds or trip on his own feet due to getting his ears boxed off. If I'm on team Canelo... I say go for this fight with the intention of hoping to land a big punch but more than anything else not embarrass myself and become a bigger attraction. Huge risk in a move like this, but imo well weighted risk.

Either way, and I think how it will affect Canelo is very debatable. Looking forward to this next chapter for the boxing elite. One things for sure it will give all of us something to yap about.

True, it will give everyone something to discuss no matter what happen or how one feels because there will be people who don't feel the same way.

The post before, I pretty much agree if he looks decent that is better than most guys look against Floyd and that will make people feel differently about his level. It would definetly be huge for his career if he could pull that off.

I think looking for the big punch would get him embarrassed though, if that happens people will be down on Canelo a bit but that can get overcome as there isn't much shame in getting beat by Floyd even badly. Also that doesn't have to be a bad outcome for Canelo personally either because it could show him what a truly top shelf guy can do and really spur him to improve himself.

Either way the aftermath would be interesting and give people much to talk about for a good while.
