Thread: Mayweather v Wright at 154?

Will it happen?

not this year. maybe not at all.

depends on the result of his bhop fight. depends on if mayweather is retiring for good.

mayweather should move down to 147 to fight mosley then cotto and then possibly if winky is a 154 pounder move up and fight him

I doubt Winky could make it back to 154 again he would have to kill himself to make that weight. if floyd fights again it should be one of the stars at welter mosley, cotto, or even hatton if he looks great against castillo.

I used to think Mayweather would win this fight, but not anymore unless he used alot more footwork than he did against Dela Hoya. Winky has a much better jab than Dela Hoya's which connected when they were close more times than I thought it would, and PBF has trouble with southpaws. Winky is a much more complete fighter than Dela Hoya, and I see him giving Mayweather some troubles, but like I said if Mayweather used more running tactics than last night I could still see him winning, but gauging by last night I don't think so it may be too large of a fighting class for him to beat a futur HOF who was possibly the best ever at the weight class.

PBF isn't gonna retire. in fact it wouldn't suprise me at all if he called out the winner of winky hopkins. i don't he needs to go any hire than 154 though. in fact i think he should go back to fight at 147. in all honestly i still wish he stayed at 135 longer. he would have been one of the best lightweights ever.

funny i remember when people said that 135 might be to much for PBF and now he's fighting at 154.

Mayweather dont want to see Winky.

only because of the size advantage. not the skills.

YOU GUYS HEAR BHOP SAY HE CAN'T LOSE TO A GUY NAME WINKY that was classic bhop talking, as much as i like winky i'm not to0 sure he can past 40+year old bhop. ooh for the record winky would whoop floyd.

Alot of people hate on Winky-Hop. But I cant wait. The winner of that fight is the best p4p in the world IMO.

Skill wise it would be a tremendous amount in the ring at the same time. Promoter wise it would be difficult to promote. You need to attract the casual boxing fans in order to make it a superfight. I want to see Mosley PBF, but Mayweather doesn't believe there is anything left to prove.

Only way I see this fight happening, is if Spinks was to pull the upset over Taylor(which won't happen), and then floyd moved to middleweight to challenge Spinks. Then regardless of what happens between BHOP and Winky, Winky might come back to middle.




That whole scenario is a very long shot.

I would like to see Floyd go to 147 and fight Margarito or even Hatton.. Even though I think Hatton would be an easy fight for Floyd, I think Margarito would be tougher. Even though Hatton is probably better pound for pound, Margarito is bigger and would probably trouble Floyd at times. Mosley I would like to see at 147 also. So I say Hatton first, Margarito next and then Mosley .. That would be a really grueling fight for both guys. Neither guy is a huge puncher and both are faster than anyone either has fought. Mayweather is a little faster I think and Mosley a little stronger. Good matchup.

PBF need to go back to 147. he should forget winky and worried about shane and hatton.

Yeah Mosley is probably the obvious match up for Floyd.

Inknown, if Floyd fights the right opponent, then he could win the middleweight title.. but a good champion at 160 might be a little bit too much in size. He could beat a middleweight Corey Spinks since that would be a blown up welterweight. But fighting a guy like Hopkins or Taylor would be way too big since Oscar looked big with Floyd , and Oscar looked small with Hopkins. Although I think Floyd would do better with Hopkins than Oscar or Tarver did.
