Comments Thread For: Schaefer: I’d Love to See Mayweather vs. Shawn Porter

[Sugar Q]

in lieu of a pacquiao fight, which is obviously the best option for the fans but one which mayweather will avoid til the bitter end, i think porter is as interesting a match up as any for Floyd. better than Maidana and Khan both. he looked vicious against paulie, and he might actually catch maywether with one of those lunging shots. he closes a lot of distance very quickly, and if he lands it could be pretty interesting...

So let me get this straight. Although Floyd has did EVERYTHING he could do (but lay down and let them ****** him) to make the Pac fight, Roach is on record basically saying Floyd's su****ions are true cause he didn't trust what Ariza was giving Manny and now with Manny's diminished power, speed and ability to take a punch Roach wants him to move down to 140, your silly ass still says it's Floyd who is avoiding the fight? Get off the internet and get a life dude, the charade is over!!!!!

We've seen it in sparring!

What we haven't seen was Pac-Floyd! P4p no 1 vs #3!! No more excuses!

So u think in a REAL boxing match with 12 rds and no head gear, Pac would beat Porter right now?

We are going to see just how bad Pac want to fight Floyd. At the end of the year Pac is a free agent, do he walk away from Bob and fight or do he stay and not get the fight. The chose is Pac now.

Porter was like three months late... Should have he fought Paulie back then, we'd be watching at a Floyd-Porter fight in May...

do you have ADD?

Funny even though Porter stopped Paulie, his wildness would attract Mayweather more than scare him off. I doubt it happens doe.

Could you imagine if Pac's sparring poster and a NSB poster beat Floyd?

Guerrero was a decade long pro who was chasing the payday. Ortiz wasn't very good and Golden Boy knew it, they had no reason to keep Mayweather from cherry picking that belt. Alvarez is just fine and still one of the most promising young fighters in the sport.

There is nothing Porter risks by fighting Mayweather now besides his undefeated record. He'll get a payday, exposure, and a chance to fight the best while taking little damage. What exactly is the downside?

Outside of short-term money by fighting Floyd, Porter potentially has more to lose. He loses his zero. He loses his title. He might lose his confidence. If he gets blown out the water, his stock plummets along with what momentum he had going in. At this stage of his career, he should focus on getting more experience, because he will get blown out the water if he fights Mayweather now. He's not ready for that fight. If Porter's working as a grocery bagger to help pay the bills, by all means he should fight Floyd now, otherwise he should think about his own legacy. He has good things coming to him without Floyd.

As Floyd said, health comes first. He'll trade all the money in the world back for his health.

he's gonna fight khan next pending the result of khan collazo

people not need to stop bothering Floyd about who to fight, its the same **** for 5 years now

he will fight who he has lined up, the most popular, bankable guy available who isnt really a threat.

dont expect thurman/porter winner either, neither guy is any reward and you can only stack these PPVs for so long before u hit a wall with matchups

everyone needs to chill with floyd obsession, there are many interesting fights available without him in the mix

[StrangerInTown]

They are delusional.

The wealthiest fight in history is right there to be made but the mob refuses to budge if it means working with Godfather Arum?

Goodnight Nurse.

I dont think Porter would take the fight... thatd be like a tommy gunn situation. Sparring with a prime Pac put him on the map early on. Doubt prime Porter forgets that
