    Floyd had one very easy choice after leaving jail. Canelo was waiting. For a guy who calls himself money this was the most logical and most lucrative fight outside of Pac... Floyd went on a long vacation again. He had to wait for the Guerrero/Berto winner.

      Not really. Canelo needed a name on his resume and he got it now. I still dont think itll happen next cause Canelo is going to build still but maybe May 3rd, 2014.

        Dude's guaranteed 40 million plus to fight Guerrero... Id say he can call himself Money all he wants.

            145 Cotto >>> Soto Karass > Jojo Dan > Aydin
            Why are you a P4P great fighting most of your fights that given you recognition at catchweights and are then consider #1 at those weights when you are making contractual agreements on your opponent having to reach a catchweight to give yourself a handicap?

            That's not's happening but if it do happen, there will be a fall out. Many will have excuses and most haters will either be I knew Mayweather wasn't that great and will lose to a cherry pick while Pacquiao lost to a great such as Marquez (who they once overlooked many times since the first fight). Fact is if Mayweather loses it will never be in a devastating fashion such as Pacquaio as his chin been proven and most likely will come from being outworked if Guerrero keeps him behind the guard. This will be a great fight as Guerrero adjusts and Mayweather will have to adjust constantly and not get comfortable against the southpaw.

            There's only 1 welter weight that is deserving of a Mayweather fight, and that's Bradley. Everything else can be easily criticized at this point. We're going to see the Canelo fight most likely. For 2014, the fighter that comes out of that 140 tourney will be the most deserving to fight Floyd. Since opposition is thin and they want to fight in the UK...Khan can just have two more wins vs credible opponents (most likely can't do it though) and they're have a fight in the UK for late next year. Either way, they're all not on Floyd's class, even if one of them looks impressive in their previous fights. Pacquiao will be a cherry pick too, unless he avenges his JMM and Bradley losses then it becomes a legit fight again.
            Fact is Bradley is not calling Mayweather out but instead opting for the Pacquiao-Marquez 4 winner. I am going for Marquez in the bout because of his intellect and counter punching ability, but he may be too old this time around to give out the same activity level that Bradley may present but if he rocks Bradley I believe he will piece combinations together to get the job done. The sad thing about him winning the fight however is that he will not want a Mayweather fight (rightly so as I do not believe he have anything that can bother Mayweather). Marquez is my #2 P4P fighter and I believe he beats everyone except Mayweather, his supreme intellect and skill is why I favor him in all fights. Pacquiao has always been a cherry pick because Marquez beat him since day 1 but he never got his just due... he also beat Chris John.. but whatever the more popular fighters always were given gift wrapped decisions. Bradley should campaign for a Mayweather fight if he beat Marquez.. but as of now he haven't done that and been asking for Pacquiao (who is overrated).

              And fight anyone he wants. I have to agree.

                He has a 6 fight deal over 30 months... it was rumored it was 200 million and with ppvs it will push to 250 million... which is 6 X 40k is 240 million.

                Floyd basically confirmed the 250 million in his lead up show on CBS when he said... "All of this is based on 100 million, imagine what Ill do with 250"

                  Well he was willing to drop to 154 (or below!) for the past couple of years. I think he earned the right to make the call with regards to what his body can take, he is a grown man and p4p top 5 after all. And as you saw this weekend, he truly is a small MW, at a disadvantage among full blown MWs.

                    .
                    Pac collected a record 6 divisional belts before asking for his first CW. Let me know when your favorite fighter wins his 7th divisional belt without a CW. But chances are your favorite fighter is too small to fight top contenders in his 5th weight class.

                    But you know, I'd have given Floyd loads of credit if he'd gone for his 6th belt vs Sergio at 158, for example. So would have most Floyd "haters", and his fans would be tripping all over themselves to give him credit. IMO he'd deserve more credit than if he'd taken on Sergio at 154. But 0 credit for refusing to answer the challenge altogether, yet again.

                      Taking Canelo before he fought Trout would be a ****** move. Guerrero is a SOLID opponent on the paper.
