    I don't know that as it stands.

    I have absolutely no idea how much Pacquaio has left after the KO so until I see otherwise I'm not interested.

    The Bradley rematch will answer that question though.

      These guys would all push him and make it a tough fight. Khan is a complete joke imo.
      You said the same thing about Cotto, Guererro and Canelo.

      You even went as far as saying both Canelo and Cotto would stop Mayweather.

      It's pretty clear that after Mayweather beats the guy you pick to beat him you'll just change your mind and pretend that was a cherry pick and find a new guy who you think beats him.

        And even if there wasn't he shouldn't be expected to fight career MWs when he comes to the ring at 150 lbs.

        Like I said I've never seen such high standards expected for a fighter.
        Then you are new to boxing if you never seen such high standards for a fighter. This has been going on before you came out the nut sac. Floyd is not the first or the last, hate to burst your bubble

Which four fighters should be on Floyd's radar to end his six fight contract with Showtime.

          No trolls or dumb **** please.

          Serious discussion only.


          I dont know, but your avi is ***ing gross!

            It comes to all fighter i mean if u really like a fighter dont u want to see him beat top opponents that u think is impossible for him to do?
            If ur doin the opposite then ur just protecting your favorite fighter

            Like for me im a GGG fan i want to see againts ward
            Like for pacquiao also i wanted him to fight bradley and then he did which is a really big credit for him from a fan like me

              I understand but why does Mayweather have to move up in weight just to see a credible fight and others don't?

              Pacquaio-Bradley's a credible fight but Mayweather-Bradley isn't? Why?

              Why doesn't Pacquaio have to go to 160 and fight Golovkin to get a credible fight? Mayweather's not much bigger than Pacquaio they're about the same size, Mayweather being the sligther bigger of the two.

              Golovkin against any of the top MW's would be credible. Golovkin-Macklin was considered credible but Mayweather-Thurman isn't?

              Seems clear to me that Mayweather's being held to a higher standard because he's apparently he's too good for his weight class.

              I mean, which other fighter who comes to the ring 3 lbs above his weight class has not a single fighter in his weight class that's considered a credible fight?

                marquez put a sizable dent in that theory, and beating rios really doesn't help to remove said dent.

                  You are trolling this is nothing new it's been happening before you came out the nut sac. Again,Floyd is not the first or will be the last fighter that will be held to a higher standard. Let me guess "it's because Iam black" you really are a clown

                    Please, go ahead and give me an example of a fighter who comes to the ring 3 lbs north of his weight class and can't fight a single fighter in that weight class that's considered credible.

                    Of course fighters are held to higher standards than others (They shouldn't be but that's simply how it is) but how many fighters HAVE to move up in weight just to have a credible opponent? When the Division hasn't been cleaned out no less, and there's plenty of contenders/ranking champions that haven't been fought? I can't think of one.

                      How the hell is he trolling?
                      He just gave a common sense detailed explanation and you say "he's trolling"?WTF
                      Floyd started at 130Lbs and went up to 154Lbs.
                      and hecant even make 154. He said live in the ring after the Oscar fight that he came in at 149 and they just went ahead anmd marked it at 150.
                      he barely can make 150 on fight night. he's clearly maxed out his weight. he cant go up anymore.
