Floyd should just fight D.Garcia

[LA_2_Vegas]

Forgot Floyd has 2 fights left so it would have to be on CBS, not NBC which Haymon has the deal with right?

Yes, it would have to be CBS which again all very far fetched.


I was just thinking of different scenarios that Floyd, with a lesser opponent, with the worst of all candidates, could counter and outperform Canelo-Cotto if they happen on the same date.

I swear you guys are are just dummies. No. Danny Garcia is not going to fight Floyd next. Al knows he has to match Swift with someone credible before making the fight. Same reason why Amir is fighting Devon next month, Haymon is matching Amir Khan against a top 10 welterweight to make the Floyd/Khan fight more appealing. Expect Danny to be matched against either Lamont or Adrien next. Amir in May and Danny in Sept. 49-0.

I guess their backup plan if Khan and Danny lose is Thurman and maybe Andrade.. Miguel Cotto is not an available option for Floyd since Miguel is clearly working exclusively with Bob Arum and HBO now.

Too easy

I mean if it's not Manny then Garcia is the guy with the next best Resume with wins over Khan and Matthysse. Khan beating Alexander who can't punch doesn't prove much honestly

I don't see why Khan has to fight a big puncher to prove himself worthy of Floyd. Floyd is a light-hitter (especially these days, at 147, and with a career-long history of hand problems).

If the dominant fighter in the division were a massive puncher, we, as fans, would demand that any potential opponent face a big puncher as a kind of "audition" to prove that he can give that top guy a good fight (and avoid getting blown out in a round or two).

But that doesn't apply here. Alexander is a two-weight world champion and a top-10 Welterweight. If Khan wins clearly & convincingly, I have no problem with Floyd-Khan, and in fact I look forward to it because I think it's a whole lot more interesting than some people would have you believe.

[Rip Chudd]

He has 64 million reasons to fight Khan and Danny Garcia next year. Floyd doesn't fight for legacy, he fights for money. He doesn't care that Khan and Danny Garcia do not further his legacy, he just cares about the check. That is why he fought Marcos Maidana twice and Robert Guerrero in 3 of 4 fights he's had the last two years. Dollar dollar bill ya'll.

And that isn't pathetic to you?

[_original_]

1. Danny flat out doesn't want the fight.

2. Floyd usually fights guys coming off impressive wins, the Herrera gift and the Salka farce just don't cut it.

And that isn't pathetic to you?

I wish it was different, but I realize the obstacle - Bob Arum.

Khan and Garcia are good fighters, but their accomplishments have come at 140 lbs. I'd rather see Mayweather fight Pacquiao in May and the Cotto/Canelo winner in Sept., but my boxing fantasies are only wet dreams. I respect Mayweather as a boxer because of his skill set, but he did miss his two legacy fights, Kostya Tszyu at 140 and Manny Pacquiao at 147. With that said, he will retire something like 10-0 vs. IBHOFers. That's gotta count for something.

[Larry the boss]

Fight Manny,Brook or Cotto at 160 or just retire

what's so funny is the best at 140 vs the best at 147 will only be criticized if floyd is involved......any other fighter would be able to get away with it. pacf@gs were stroking their little clitter-****s to the idea of pacquiao facing garcia but floyd vs garcia is all of a sudden a crappy fight........floyd vs garcia blows pacquiao vs algieri away in terms of competitiveness, ppv, relevancy and legacy.

That would be Herrera.
