What should Mayweather do?????

Come on Larry, you know that's a horrible mismatch. Alexander's lost to 3 of the 4 best fighters he has fought. And all 3 of those guys did what Floyd does better than anyone.

By your own admission, if Pacman isn't the same fighter that he was in 08-09, why would the fight be the same?? Just saying. IMO the ship has sailed on this fight & Floyd won't get the credit that he would have after Pacman destroyed Cotto for very clear & obvious reasons.

The fight could never have happened in 2008 or 2009, the earliest it would have happened was 2010, the first year Manny didn't look as stellar as he had the previous years. I'm saying Manny isn't the same guy he was in 2008-2009, but he's about the same guy he was in 2010. So why wouldn't Floyd get credit???? Manny is about the same guy he was in 2010, the only difference is the last two fighters he fought didn't stand right in front of him and get tagged over and over, and when Bradley did stand in front of Manny, he got tagged rather easily.

It's still a huge fight, and they are still two of the best fighters in the sport. You talk about Manny like he's totally past it which is ridiculous really. If he was totally past it or close to being done, he wouldn't have handled Bradley the way he did. Yeah, he didn't KO Bradley, but last time I checked his last KO/TKO's were Hatton who walked into it and Cotto, who got grinded down over the fight, who had been stopped before. He still looked pretty good beating Bradley, though he did seem to fade a bit late in the fight. I think that had more to do with Bradley fighting a smarter fight the last 3 rounds.

Marquez climbed 2 weight classes to fight him. Indisputable fact.

they are almost the same size. fact. your starting to sound like rafa benitez. fact.

how many welterweights do you know that dont rehydrate into the 150s?

I'm not a fan of Alexander, but I feel the need to defend him for some reason lol. He's fought solid opposition all the way through, does get some gift decisions, but he's one of the few fighters who've set a high standard for themselves in terms of their level of opposition. His clinching can get out of hand, but I would rate Devon higher than I would Berto skill-wise. Berto has spent an entire year sitting on the side-lines, how is he deserving of a shot? I would rather see Alexander get the shot way before Berto. Berto/Floyd would be a more entertaining fight, but based on principle, he shouldn't be in the running when other guys are making moves and his career is stagnant.

In order of legacy/significance:
Martinez(160lb)
Pac
Martinez(154lb)
Alexander
Guerrero
Canelo

In terms of $$$:
Pac
Canelo
Martinez
Alexander
Guerrero

In terms of who deserves it:
Pac
Martinez
Guerrero
Alexander
Canelo

I understand the warrant for Devon to get the fight, I just don't think it warrants Ppv..if anything it should be on free hbo....plus...Devon still needs to beat Bradley.

May vs Pac not happening earlier only hurts Mayweather, he would be a damn fool if he thinks the media will give him any credit for beating Pac.

Larry Merchant : Floyd......ya seem to have waited a few years and opponents for Manny to decline, don't you wish the fight happened sooner?

Floyd : You don't know **** about boxing and i Never get the credit I truly deserve.

If the majority of the media did criticize him for a victory over Pac at this stage, it would tell me that Mayweather and Pac were never considered to be on the same level anyway. You know how Floyd goes on those *(insert fighter) was built up to fight me, and then when I beat him..." rants, well there's some truth to what he's saying.

And you're sounding like hugh grant. Acting as if weight classes aren't in place for a reason. Fact. Marquez climbed 2 to fight Pacman. Indisputable fact.

There's no need. Marquez usually trained down to 135. Pacman trained to somewhere over 140. Dimensions don't equal size. Pacman was 2 weight classes bigger than Marquez & stronger.

not answering it because there are very few that dont rehydrate into the 150s by any chance?

do you consider welterweight as pacquiaos ideal weight class?
