Who should Mayweather fight?

[RiC-DiC]

I voted Manna Pacquiao. Still the biggest money fight to be made IMO. And we could finally put that May-Pac fanboyism **** to rest.

A GGG fight would be a blockbuster.

Martinez would be a good night for Floyd, but as soon as that fight gets signed, it's "Sergio's shot", etc.

Casual fans don't give a **** about Lara and he still needs to rematch the bums he drew with.

Canelo's already been dominated.

Kirkland needs more experience.

I picked the toughest fights for Floyd around the 154lbs mark.

But I see what you mean by it not being realistic

tough fights indeed, but some bring little to zero money and others have to many hurdles and bad blood to happen just yet

boxing is a business first and foremost...

[IronDanHamza]

Realistically the list should look like this:

147
Shawn Porter
Danny Garcia (Moving up)
Maidana if he beats Broner
Khan
Thurman/Soto Karrass

154
Lara
Molina


Nobody else should be on the list. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Martinez or Pacquiao but it can't happen because of network and promoter BS.

Mayweather is the only guy in Boxing who has to fight at a weight that's higher than what he comes to the ring at and walks around at for it to be legitimate.

He's literally the only guy.

Based on what?

This.

And it doesn't matter if they do make 154. This place would be unreadable with all the "ZOMG Coward Floyd had to drain ________ in order to win!" threads.

I mean, people claimed Canelo to be a "zombie" because he lost a couple extra pounds. And he fights at 154. Imagine the outcry.

Pre-fight: "Floyd needs to fight Martinez/GGG at 154"

Post-fight: "Floyd shouldn't have fought Martinez/GGG at 154. LAMO PWN DUCK SAUCE".

[D4thincarnation]

No, definitely not.

Most fans buy Floyd fights not because they are fans of Floyd but because they want to see him get beat.

Thats why those fights will sell.

He's literally the only guy.

That's because they want him to lose.

I would love to see him fight at 154 but he's not obligated to do it by any means if he vacates his titles.

Golovkin hasn't been lower than 160 lbs in about a decade, perhaps even longer And apparently he's "capable of making 154". No evidence at all for that.

Been a hell of a long time since Sergio's been at 154 aswell and he's heading toward 40.

Canelo's ring weight have been bigger than Martinez and Golovkin.

But HE MAKES 154.

I agree, Floyd is a paper champ at 154lbs
