Comments Thread For: Ellerbe Non-Commital on Mayweather vs. Garcia/Matthysse

[DigitalBeast]

If he wasn't going to commit to Saul Alvarez, why the hell would he commit to the Matthysse-Garcia winner?

I do think the winner of that fight is the best option for Mayweather after the ginger gets whooped.

Since you can see the future, are you too dumb to buy the right lottery tickets?

garcia-lucas winer should fight khan-alexander winner to fight floyd

I know Mayweather doesn't care much about belts, but he'll move to 140 for this one. having three ring belts at once would tempt any legacy-conscious fighter.

I really hope he goes to 140. To hold three lineal titles at the same time is unheard of in this day and age.

For all the talk of how much of a cherry picker he is, he’s doing things that no other fighter can do or won’t do.

I think he means from 140 to 152, also Floyd would love to fight another junior welter, and if he decides to go to 140 and makes weight which I doubt it would show the ***** that he is but I doubt he will he'll make them move up so he's at an advantage

wouldnt mayweather lose his WW ring title by winning the SWW Ring title?

According to the Ring policies:

a Champion would lose his title by moving to a different weight class. It doesnt say whether the move is just for one fight or permanently.
It just says moves to different weight class.


RING POLICY:

Here are the seven situations in which a champion can lose his belt: 1. The Champion loses a fight in the weight class in which he is champion. 2. The Champion moves to another weight class. 3. The Champion does not schedule a fight in any weight class for 18 months. 4. The Champion does not schedule a fight at his championship weight for 18 months (even if he fights at another weight). 5. The Champion does not schedule a fight with a Top-5 contender from any weight class for two years. 6. The Champion retires. 7. The Champion tests positive for a banned substance.

Now Mayweather have been moving up and down 147 & 154 for 3 fights now.

Cotto - 154
Guerrero -147
and now back to 154 for Canelo.


if he goes to 140 for his next fight then technically he should lose either the 147 or 154 or even both 147/154 Ring belts.

Maybe so but I was referring to lineal championships.

[DLT]

lets be real, Floyd is not going down to 140. They would have to come up. 2nd, why do people always say that so & so need to have a fight at the weight 1st? If you are a great fighter then it should be more than fine for you to move up and fight a good guy in your 1st fight. Floyd has done it himself. Floyd has also fought in 5 divisions but these guys cant fight in 2? They need warmups despite the fact that they will way more than him on fight night

[chilost]

Ok Lineal Championships are a lil different. LOL.

That would be amazing but I dont think he'll go to 140 and drain himself seeing how he didn't even make the 144 cw with Marquez.

Oh I forgot about the “Mayweather Rules”. He’s not allowed to fight the fighters below his weight class. But if any other top welterweight were to fight Matthysse it would be an acceptable fight and not a “cherry Pick”. My bad.
