Mayweather to Pick Opponent Next Week

[bojangles1987]

I think people are heavily overestimating the abilities of Mayweather and Pacquiao currently, whether you want to believe it or not Guerrero is a credible opponent and there is no debating it. Rather than ***** understand that Floyd has to fight, you would think that gets forgotten at times. What is he suppose to do wait around, especially at his age, don't think so.

That's exactly what Mayweather does, he waits around. He chooses to do exactly that.

Hopefully he fights twice next year, Guerrero then Trout, Cotto or Canelo depending on the circumstances I suppose.

[Javii86]

Cotto wins, leads to Cotto vs Canelo and guarantees Mayweather vs Guerrero. Leading to a Sept bout between winnner of Cotto and Canelo vs Mayweather

Trout wins, leads to Mayweather vs Canelo immediately

[Doctor_Tenma]

Cotto wins, leads to Cotto vs Canelo and guarantees Mayweather vs Guerrero. Leading to a Sept bout between winnner of Cotto and Canelo vs Mayweather

Trout wins, leads to Mayweather vs Canelo immediately

Can't see it any different than what you said, agree man. Trout will have to win very decisively as well, I'm expecting Cotto to win clearly though.

[joesaiditstrue]

remember this post: Floyd is going to face either Canelo or the Cotto/Trout Winner

GBP plan is to get them all on the same PPV including Rob

[JRB123]

Everyone wants Alvarez vs Cotto (assuming Cotto beats Trout) with the winner getting Mayweather

Meanwhile as much as I don't care for the fight, Guerrero is the best option IF and I say IF people want Cotto Alvarez first.

We know Mayweather Bradley won't happen because of Bob.

At WW/JMW NOBODY is great enough to beat Floyd so no matter who it is, people are going to b*tch about it. We have to talk about MW guys when talking about someone beating Mayweather or at least being the favorite.

If he does, I like the Guerrero fight. It's only the prospect of Floyd fighting Guerrero and walking away again that makes me not buy into this fight that much.

[Barry Halls]

Floyd is going to find someone easier.

People said this before he picked Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto too. It was Matthew Hatton, Paul Malignaggi, Quintana, Spadafora, Nate Campbell and the likes.

And for fun, lets try to remember the perception of Mosley and Ortiz at the time rather than what we now know about them.

I personally think Guerrero is a near lock for this fight but who knows. All i know is it's not Pac or Martinez and i sure hope it's not Cotto 2 just because we've been down that road already.

Of the proposed fights i'd prefer it be Canelo.

[GrandpaBernard]

okay lets break it down

martinez is coming off an injury

pac is having a fight soon and arum is already saying the next fight will be the winner of rios alvarado which will be rios (another in house fight)

canelo has a fight set for april and said it wont be floyd

so my only question is given this knowledge who would he fight that would satistfy you all?

Bradly or the ghost seems to be the only thing clicking as a next fight at 147

im just sayin mayne

Just fight more than once in 2013!
