    Floyd's status in my eyes would greatly go up in my eyes for beating Mart at 160 alone. I wouldn't even be angry if he felt he achieved enough to retire after that.

      Plus, if Mayweather-Bradley were made, it's a good tune-up like fight for Floyd, and proves TMT and TR can work together. It's also another win for Floyd over a Top 10 P4P and prime fighter around his weight.

      If Pac-Bradley sold 900K PPV's, still not confirmed though, I'd be willing to bet May-Bradley could do 950K-1.0M PPV's.
      Were talking about Floyd here. It sounds good in theory but I can already see the Floyd fights Mannys leftovers threads coming. Its a nice fight but if I was Floyd I wouldnt fight at all. Just hit the gym.

        He fought a past prime-still good Cotto though, pretty much the same guy Manny had beat already. But he tried to one-up Manny doing it by fighting him at 154 lbs and moving up in weight. I doubt Floyd even fights this year honestly, but if he did, I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd-Bradley, especially considering who's available late this year.

        But I think Floyd might hit the gym and just come back in April/May against Manny, hopefully.

          It sounds good. If Manny beats him would that cancel the middleweight tittle challenge?

            Obviously. But I don't think Manny or Floyd ever rematch each other. The winner would never want to rematch the loser.

              Too much money involved to not think about it. Besides, if duane ford is still alive you can already put down 115-113 floyd (lol).

                Floyd will get opposition no matter who he fights. But based on form, Bradley has to be considered based on the fact that he just beat Pacquiao, whether legit or not, and has also beaten another considered opponent, Devon Alexander. However, Pac equals more cash and publicity, and is known worldwide as one of the P4P top guys. Politics could prevent both of these happening though as Bob isn't going to want to risk seeing two of his best assets lose in succession.

                I could see Bradley been more of the type to demand a Floyd fight though and standing up to Bob. So in my eyes Bradley at Christmas, then give Pac a take it or leave it offer in April, as in theory there should be no excuses about schedules, otherwise Canelo at 154. A young hungry pup although a little green, is easy to make with Golden Boy. Then by this time provided Sergio isnt too old and Floyd might have filled out a little more, roll the dice and go up to 160lb or try and tempt Pac in again in an open air stadium where they both retire.

                This is all speculative though and to be honest I could well envisage Guerrero/Berto/Canelo as his next three unless TMT manage to bridge any potential conflicts. Here's hoping.

                  Then go for history.challenge for the mw title in your last fight

                  how does that sound???
                  Its got to be Canelo, Pac and Sergio.
                  Canelo mainly cos he also beat SSM showing its not that hard to do, so just makes sense.
