By Cliff Rold - After (or maybe it was before) getting the TMZ chatter going with whatever who-the-hell-cares happened with TI’s girlfriend, lineal World Welterweight and Jr. Middleweight Champion Floyd Mayweather casually announced during a pre-BET Awards interview that September 13th will feature a rematch between himself and his near conqueror in May, Marcos Maidana.
While the fight isn’t official just yet, it was the next best thing.
If and when it is signed, it will also be the right thing.
For Mayweather, there is no shortage of intriguing opponents. Excluding fighters associated with Top Rank because at this point that’s just the way it is, there are fresh talents from Jr. Welterweight to Jr. Middleweight who would make for good matches. Jr. Welterweight Champion Danny Garcia, even after the near miss against Mauricio Herrera, is one. Shawn Porter and Keith Thurman, both undefeated and holding belts Welterweight, are two more.
While it wouldn’t be the most likely future option, if Erislandy Lara defeats Canelo Alvarez later this month he would be another.
None of those men have faced Mayweather before. Porter, Thurman, and Lara might all be seen as live by the time they have the chance to hear their number called. They might give Mayweather a run for his money. [Click Here To Read More]
