Is there any options that Mayweather has at 147 that are not cherry picks?

[IronDanHamza]

Yep, and Porter throws short compact combinations, he's an all around decent fighter, his quickness is the only good thing he possess which is enough to deal with Alexander. Slip the jab, throw combinations in close, then get out, I'm expecting Porter to do that.

Admittedly I've not seen much of Porter I've only seen the first Diaz fight and the Gomez fight but I wasn't impressed at all with either of those fights.

He won't fight Bradley . Bradley is high risk low reward. Bradley is like a Black man prime Margarito keeps coming, good chin, good endurance, that is why Floyd never fought Margarito. You have to be all over Floyd you can't be afraid of his counter and swarm him like Castillo did. Most of today's fighters even with all their steroids and endurance trainers they lack what the old fighters did back in the day able to fight 15 rounds. That is why someone like Duran would have beat the crap out of little Floydie

Bradley isn't seen as high-risk. If you seen Mayweather Sr and Roger Mayweather comment about Bradley -- it's comical. Roger Mayweather said he personally had a meeting with Bob Arum about trying to do a fight with Bradley. And Bradley admitted on video that he also doesn't know HOW to beat Mayweather.

Garcia isn't a cherrypick. Garcia has even had fights at welterrweight before

I'm with you, Porter doesn't impress me, but then again neither does Alexander for the most part

Yeah that's true

I definitely think he's a few levels above though. From what I've seen which is seldom.

You didn't know? Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran,Henry Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Pernell Whitaker and all the greats of the past NEVER defended their titles against ranked contenders. They ALWAYS fought megafights 3-4 times per year against pound for pound ranked opponents no matter the weight class. Boxing needs to get back to those days.

good post PBP.

I like Shawn Porter, but it would be hilarious if Devon Alexander lost to him.

how is garcia a good fight for floyd? the kid is not ready and haven't fought at welter.

he's the champ at 140 but you'll never know how he will fare at 147. why would anybody want him to fight the p4p best right away for his first fight at 147?

even floyd at garcia's age and that stage of his career didn't step up that much.

garcia have absolutely zero chance against floyd...that's not a good fight at all.

It's because fighters one division apart usually clash and these two are practically the same size. As for competitiveness, no ones competing with Floyd, that should be established by now.
