    It won't be that it will be "Floyd fought him now because he KNOWS in a few years Canelo would beat his ass." Basically how Floyd will from that fight on be ducking a "new and improved Canelo."

      I'm getting the impression that Mayweather fans don't like Canelo for his next fight. And we have no idea who they want.

        I would be high on this fight AFTER and IF Nelo beats Lara. Ok, maybe the fight should happen now just because it's the "biggest" fight to be made right now, but Nelo really doesn't deserve May just yet. His very first fight against a real live opponent was a sham that should have been a draw!! Most who are already high on this fight hate Floyd and should say; Floyd is just too good and needs to raise the stakes a little by giving himself some sort of disadvantage! Sorry but it's more respectable if you say that first

          I agree that it is the best realistic fight that can be made and that is why it should be made. I just have a feeling most people would find it a really boring fight based on both their styles. I also think Alvarez is still a year or so off being ready for a Mayweather fight. I hope this fight gets made within their next two fights.

              cotto deserves a rematch more than canelo.... one good win isn't enough, i think canelo needs at least one more good win such as lara or cotto or even kirkland, molina, ishe smith etc. Im sure martinez would be ready by sept 14 if mayweather came asking and i know a lot of these other fights aren't possible for september but hypothetically i dunno how people are so high on this matchup compared to others people ask like its the best potential match for flloyd ever

                I want canelo to develop a little bit more. Get some big fights and build. Next May he won't need Floyd to make a major fight. He's 22 and a big boy only getting bigger and if he beats good competitive comp then he can have a big fight with Martinez for the lineal MW.

                I say winner of Lara/Angulo and maybe cotto in dec for a cap feather and destroy Martinez May 3rd. GBP will push him over Floyd if it comes down to it.

                  Believe it or not Mayweathers's TOUGHEST fights, are going to come from people we're not dying to see him fight. Khan and Alexander and Bradley will be some of Floyd's more difficult fights.

                    Floyds options are limited.

                    Canelo is probably the best opponent who is marketable, but also is a slight threat.(compared to his other options)

                    Trouble with suggesting Floyd has cherry picked his opponents is that you have to state who he should have fought and consider all the issues involved in making those fights happen.

                      It's not going to be a fight because mayweather will duck him like hes done with everyone else.
