    Your question is invalid because Floyd will never fight Canelo. He will stay ducking and keep fighting the guerreros and hattons

      The only thing I know for sure is that Floyd will fight Guerrero on May 4th and fight again in September. Nobody from Golden Boy or team Mayweather has yet said his September opponent will be Canelo so that is just an assumption not a fact. I don't think he will fight Canelo in September but that is the fight I would like the most. When Team Mayweather say they will fight Canelo I will believe it and not before then. I voted for Marquez to get another shot at Floyd. The first fight was a long time ago and things have changed. Floyd seems to be slipping from the Cotto fight and Marquez seem much better at a higher weight than he was against Floyd.

        Maybe he won't, but it does look like it is being set up.

          Something to consider, if Canelo actually fights Trout, he'll fail, and Floyd certainly won't fight Trout. Alexander is all risk, no reward. Bradley is very beatable for Floyd and is starving for a big money fight since he got nowhere from fighting Pac.

            Bradley is with Top Rank though, so that may be hard to get done.

              You're not understanding my post. If Floyd fights Canelo in September, is because Canelo has already beaten Trout in May 4th. That would eliminate Trout from the Mayweather sweepstakes. Even if Canelo beats some one else, like Angulo or Trout, that's still a good enough win to setup Mayweather-Canelo. Trout can wait and fight Canelo after Mayweather is done with him. That's business.

                It's a sad time in the ww division where Guerrero, a good fighter is considered the only true contender to a great fighter such as Floyd.

                  He said he wouldn't fight "PAST 37". So he didn't say he wouldn't fight at 37, he won't fight past it.

                  I think he'll fight 3 more times.

                  I could see Danny Garcia (if he gets a good win at 147), Tim Bradley (once he gets away from Top Rank), and I don't know who else. You never know what could happen.

                  Austin Trout could stay on a run, Kell Brook with his UK following could turn out to be the real deal, Khan could end up beating Garcia and/or Matthysse or some s**t, and than move up to 147 and get a good win.

                  You never know what could happen.

                    Criticizing Floyd for fighting Robert Guerrero is like criticizing Manny for fighting Clottey, De La Hoya for fighting guys like Carr and Quartey, Mosley fighting Collazo, etc. These guys aren't world beaters or amazing fighters, but at the times they fought them, they were legit top ranked WW's and solid wins.

                      Marquez is actually the best contender, it's just that Floyd already beat him in a way that any one who knows about boxing knows that nothing different would happen in a rematch. Like Reed mentioned, Floyd outboxed Marquez, not bullied him or used his size or power. Floyd used his movement, counterpunching, handspeed, and the last bit of his reflexes which he no longer shows anymore. Mayweather-Marquez was Mayweather's last true perfect performance where he showed everything he could do and he basically did it while being rusty and coming off a 2 year lay off. He can no longer move like that.
