The pressure is on for a mega fight. Either Pac as 1 or Martinez as the backup plan but to me I think his team feels like he's 1 fight away. You hear his dad & uncle talk non stop about Floyd being too old to be inactive. Even before the Ortiz fight they said that it would be crazy for Floyd to fight Pac now. You can tell that Floyd is even starting to feel the same way about activity.
Then the Ortiz fight came and I think the way it ended screwed up team Mayweather's plan. I think they feel that right now he could beat a Pac or Martinez but I think all of them would say that they would feel 100% that he could beat them with either more rounds or another fight. I dont think they felt he got in enough rounds with Ortiz. If they had to do it over, they wish there was no headbutt and the fight wouldve went the extra 2-6 rounds that Floyd wouldve probably had stopped him in anyways.
As good as he was, you could tell there was still some rust. I think they fear him getting caught early against those 2 guys or losing a fight just because it took him like 6-8 rounds to knock off the rust & get back in full fight mode to beat those guys. Like Floyd came on strong late to win the last 4 rounds but lost the fight because his timing was so off before then.
I think if they had it there way, he would have 1 more fight in May and then fight those guys along with Khan. Thats why I wouldnt be shocked to see a Pac or Martinez fight but I also wouldnt be shocked to see a Ortiz rematch or something like that and then him fighting a Pac or Martinez at the end of the year with the leftover guy coming next year with Khan.
I think there in a tough spot because they want the fight now and most of all they know the public wants the fight now, they would feel that Floyd will win but know for a fact that Floyd will win if he had 1 more fight before then to have no ring rust at all. A
gain, even if the Ortiz fight had went 6-8 rounds I think they would feel like he was pretty solid to fight them now but it didnt happen and its like they are stuck in the middle, feeling like yes its now or maybe 1 more fight. I think they would fight Khan easily in May but IDK if thats viable right now
