I agree with some of the posters here. Many of Floyd's die hard fans don't realize how limited he is. They think Floyd can beat any fighter of any era at any age when he can't. Floyd is 35 and is not that active so there is no way he's moving up to middleweight and challenging Sergio for the middleweight title. I see Floyd fighting two more times tops, three is really pushing it. I think he'll fight Manny and Canelo then call it a career.
3 fights for Floyd then retire

I could see Floyd fighting Garcia down the line, if he were to keep winning.
Say Garcia wins his Morales rematch in October, than were to able to grab a big win over the Matthysse/Olesegun winner in Feb/Mar 2013. Than, maybe he could fight the Judah/Peterson winner in the summer. And than perhaps, if he's still fighting then, a Marquez fight or even a Maidana or Alexander type fight.
I'm just saying if Garcia were to go on a big roll, and rack up wins over Khan/Matthysse/Judah/Peterson, I could see Floyd fighting him.Comment

I doubt he ever fights at MW, because he's already too small for 154 to begin with. I could see Floyd fighting Sergio at 154 though, and it'd be a legit/huge fight.I agree with some of the posters here. Many of Floyd's die hard fans don't realize how limited he is.

Call me crazy, and I may end up being crazy, but I actually believe Floyd when he says he's going to stay busy and retire before he's 38. Hopefully that means 4 more fights.Comment

Floyd's not gonna take on these mega fighters he's gonna fight prime but limited fighters comming off a good win so he can make money.
Pac Bradley kinda people.
The days of him fighting people that can press him and are very good in their physical primes are gone he might fight a prime fighter but it's gonna be one he could beat like Ortiz for example
I means he's fought small to slow for him Marquez great fighter good still but really no threat Mosley old I thought he'd put up a better challenge but we all saw how he preformed after the Floyd fight badly so there wasn't much left but I'll give that to him good win.
Ortiz young after a great win over Berto but ****** with barley any boxing iq
Cotto has about as much left as Floyd does physically but his ring iq is what won him that fight look for him to fight another just like those big names with some stuff left but not enough to get the W
It's the same with PAC I'm not just knocking Floyd so don't think that but after all it is a Floyd thread.Comment

If I'm advising Floyd I'd say one or two more fights tops. He is clearly slowing, and he is going to want to go out on a high note. I'd hate to see a great fighter lose to a young kid just because he has slipped too far. I'd say Manny and/or Sergio and call it a day. And the Sergio fight will depend on how Floyd looks against Manny.Comment

So when was Sergio's prime then???? He's arguably and has shown that he's been better than past 2-3 years than ever.
I agree, there is NOTHING Floyd or Manny can do to get to Top 5 or even the Top 10.
But if Floyd were to beat Pac and Sergio, he'd enter the Top 20. Manny is past his prime-still good, coming off what should have been a comfortable win over a Top 10 P4P and unbeaten fighter. And Sergio is the #3 P4P fighter, and Floyd beating him at 154 would be great, 160 would be huge.Last edited by 4Corners; 08-18-2012, 10:50 PM.Comment
