Thread: Who should PBF fight next

lets don't play manager here, just who would you most like him to see fight next?

I think I'll go with Hatton

I voted Mararito. Let the Hatton anticipation build past super fight status to MEGA fight status by letting Ricky first get known here in the States with a couple of fights here first.

not a bad idea, I'm holding off on getting excited about a ODLH fight till I see him versus Mayorga, he's so inactive and he's getting older so its hard to know what he really has left

margarito deserves his chance, but speaking in terms of just me and my selfish motives, then i want to see PBF: hatton....

i really think that hattons relentless pressure style could give floyd heaps of problems.....

I say forget Oscar. Hatton at this point is much more formitable and if all goes according to plan, will have a large enough fanbase here to make Mayweather-Hatton the Leonard-Hearns of the 21st century. This could truly be the fight to bring boxing back to the glory days.

I'd like to see Hatton V Mayweather and Judah v Margarito with the winners to meet each other. That way Hatton would get the big fight he's been missing and Margarito would get the opportunity to build momentum for a megafight.

any other ideas, not all that many votes so far

All those fights wouldn't challenge Mayweather in anyway, it would just be hyped up wins. I'd like to see him fight zab again but maybe I'm biased

You're not biased Starr. You just know boxing. Margarito will get beat like Corrales. Maybe without the knockdowns, but Floyd will win UD. Hatton isn't ready. Not saying he doesn't have the skill, but he needs a fight at 147, and his first fight in the States. Zab IMO, poses the biggest threat. But, to tell you the truth, all the Floyd haters want to see him fight Margarito, I'm all for it, because, Oscar poses a bigger threat IMO.

Should he just retire? He's gotta fight somebody, honestly I don't think the Zab fight was quite close enough to demand an instant rematch.

Interesting that ODLH has gotten no votes, I'm with everybody on that, ODLH needs to show that he's still a real fighter against Mayorga, he's so inactive that its hard to tell what he's actually got

Antonio Margarito deserves his shot more than Hatton and De La Hoya.

agreed. dela hoya needs to show against mayorga if he still has anything...

Hatton - Why question who is the best P4P? I think Floyd already IS.

If Ricky gets a couple of decent fights under his belt and gets REALLY well known in the States the fight will be bigger than Leonard-Hearns!It will be billed as UK v's USA mega fight,can you imagine the hype?I could see the PPV running into the millions if it is marketed right and a potential biggest ever worldwide audience for a boxing match!
Anyone know what the best figures Ali or Tyson got?
