Who actually deserves next shot at Mayweather?

[tokon]

thurman and garcia each need one more big win at welterweight. maidana's recent form is probably the best, but he would probably lose every second of every round against mayweather. khan is just a filler fight, i think, while the mayweather camp wait for a viable opponent to appear (probably garcia.)

yes, i think so too.

[tokon]

Bradley, Garcia. IMO those are his most legit shot. Pacquiao really doesn't, no matter how u look at it. Only thing that makes that fight desirable is the history behind it and the hype.

yes, that's how i see it too.

pac and bradley both Tr at present so fight with Floyd not possible. winner of bradley-pac rematch def makes for possible fight for Floyd in 2015 - providing they are not still with TR!

sorry, that "rule out above 147" was jmo as i don't think Floyd should fight heavier than 147lb.

He doesn't even "cut" weight to make welter so should just fight at his natural weight class and cement his legacy as an all-time great. he's in a position to call the shots and (imo)anyone wanting to fight him should come to 147. This fighting bigger guys to "prove" something/anything is bull****.

People need to recognize that Floyd-Lara at 154 isn't ever ever ever happening. For one, it wouldn't sell on PPV, there's almost no one outside this forum who knows who he is. Guerrero at least was a Mexican American, someone they could sell on Cinco De Mayo. But, Lara would have a shot at getting the fight if Canelo gives him a shot, and he wins of course.

Maidana should be the fight for May, followed by Danny Garcia in September. Then in 2015, it should be either Pacquiao/Bradley and someone else like Thurman if he continues winning.

just my own critieria for discussion!

i don't see the need for Floyd to fight above 147lb, although i do appreciate the perspective's of those that do. but where to you draw the line? he wins at 154 so now "should" fight 160 . . . and onwards and upwards!

i want to see golovkin vs mayweather. that will bring the best out of mayweather. he'd probably lose, but it would be a magnificent display if he won. floyd mayweather has no bonafide ATG wins. he has no wins that are even close. that's an ATG win, considering the gap in size.

no opponent at 154 or 147 will do that.


as poorly as he did/looked against angulo, hernandez, molina, vanes, it's probably lara. there's nobody else at 154 who floyd hasn't fought yet who is near the top of the division.

lara has hilarious support on bscene, because a lot of these guys didn't see the fights i mentioned. in their defense, some lara fights are so bad you want to see the recordings locked away.

[tokon]

This is easy,the only guys who are capable of beating him in and around his weight are GGG,Martinez or Manny.anyone else and it's a cherry pick or a duck.will these fights happen ? Hell no.probably the most likely reason Floyd aligned with Showtime.

the only one around Floyd's weight is Pacquiao. Martinez and Golovkin are both 160lbs.

[Weebler I]

My own opinions . . . .

Certainly not Khan.

Rule out anyone above 147 as Floyd is a welter (at most).

Flomo talk, he holds a belt at 154.

It's amusing when people try to paint a picture that there are no opponents when in reality, there are fewer opponents only after you factor in all Floyd's excuses and preconditions.

You don't get fights because you deserve it, you never have and you never will.

You get fights because you make financial sense to fight.

A lot of stuff I read on here leaves me saying 'Erislandy Lara, that Lara?'. I mean is it because he's a technical boxer that prohibits anyone from bringing up holes in his game? I just don't get it sometimes
