He will get knocked out before he gets to 6. This is insane and only for the money. Either they are clowns from hell or he will get knocked out. Word.

1. Guerrero
2. Canelo
3. Trout
4. Sergio Martinez
5. Pacquaio
6. Bradley
I'll throw in Angulo, Kirkland, and a Marquez rematch in there too.
What do I get ?
Trout, Canelo and a Marquez rematch are your best picks there.Quote:

Draw Ward down to middle;)
Mayweather has made himself a nice retirement plan there. He better start investing that money while its coming in and keep some back for taxes. The way he portrys himself as spending it like its water (I dont believe that) then he will be broke down the line beyond retirement.
A 42 year old Floyd doing interviews for Hbo sounds like the best thing in the world.Quote:

No point mentioning Top Rank fighters because that isn't gunna happen.
1. Robert Guerrero
2. Saul Alvarez
3. Devon Alexander
4. Danny Garcia
5. Paulie Malignaggi
6. Amir Khan
Maybe Berto, Mattheysse, Maidana.
Kell Brook could end up in the mix too.
Remember that new stars will emerge over the course of that 6 fight deal.
Can you see any of the Top Rank promoted guys who are on HBO fighting Floyd now??, this is gonna be a Goldenboy promoted fighter vs Floyd only now. Unless somebody is a free agent.
1. Guerrero
2. Canelo if he beats Trout, Big IF as Trout is under-rated
3. Khan , hopefully in the UK as the fight is much bigger
4. Alexander-Brook winner, if its Brook it should be in UK as its bigger.
I wonder if the Showtime contract states the Floyd will have to fight a top 5 fighter in his weight class. If not and his opponent don't matter that, that much to his Showtime paycheck, the list could change BIG TIME!!! Not to mention, all fighters in and around the weight class has a motivation like no other.
My upsets . . .
Trout defeats Canelo
Jcc Jr or 3G or Peter Quillin KO Martinez
Judah defeats Garcia
Bradley gets out of his TR contract
What if . . .
1.Cotto come back and fight the winner of K9 vs Ishe Smith?
2.Alexander come back stronger and with confidence and KO Brook?
3.We have a super, super welterwight tournament with Augulo, Kirkland, Thurman, Molina, Lara, Vanes and 2 others?
4. Amir Khan whip Paulie and rematch M&M?
5.Pacman come back. KO Berto and Ortiz?
6. Ortiz come back with a good team. Rematch Berto, Lopez fight Alexander and/or Paulie(all possible wins)?
The TMT is going to make sure Floyd look at his career one fight at a time and keep Floyd's focus on that opponent in front of him.
It's more about Floyd than it is about who he fights.
There are several "viable" opponents for Floyd, but how will Floyd be doing after four fights in two years or five fights in three years.
I guess he could set it up so that he'd have eight or nine months of "rest" every couple of fights.
It will be interesting to see who he fights after Guerrero, an easier one I would think.
Thanks and good luck to Mayweather and SHOWTIME for pumping some excitement into boxing. Even though they are going to make a ton of money, I still appreciate it.
I wonder if 50cent is gnashing his teeth.

Guerrero wasn't viable a year ago. There'll always be somebody available. Two years from now Floyd Broner might be almost as big as Floyd Manny would have been two years ago.
Good point. Always new stars on the rise.Quote:
