Fucking hope not.
I thought the first fight was very entertaining
This fight will happen. There's no way Floyd is going to turn up fighting a guy he already beat for the LINEAR middleweight championship and his 6th weight division title.
They'll say that Cotto is a "new man" and completely "reinvented" under Freddie Roach. They'll play up the fact that Cotto was able to do more damage than Mayweather is used to taking. They'll sell the whole "revenge" angle, with Freddie Roach looking for that elusive win over Mayweather. This is the fight both guys have planned. Floyd had to get by Pac and Cotto took a fight against a credible but beatable 160lber to show that he is a "legit" middleweight.
Who else is there to fight besides Cotto and Khan? Cotto is an easier opponent and gives him the most reward for beating. Floyd's not going to fight a young lion like Brook, Porter or Thurman and there's no one worth fighting at 154 other than Canelo, and nobody is going to buy that rematch.
I had to laugh at the underlined part.Quote:

OMG
You must be crazy to call shit like Kel a young lion...the mofo is 30 years old and has a resume that is soft as cotton.
Can't and won't argue with you about Khan, I hope Khan fights Pac and gets KTFO. And Brook is clearly no spring chicken although he isn't 30 , I think he turned 29 the other day, which is probably his prime. But as far as his resume goes, he did come to the states and beat rather handily the guy that everybody was saying was the new "mini Mike Tyson". That's not a bad start to his World Class career and certainly no worse than what Thurman has done for example, yet Thurman is classed as the next big thing as well. ( don't disagree with that btw.)Quote:

You can diss Kell if you like, but one thing is for sure, he won't avoid anyone.
Next guys Floyd should be expected to fight:
GGG
Terence Crawford
Keith Thurman
Demetrius Andrade
Tim Bradley
Cotto can still give Floyd hell because he did so in the first fight, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens next.
I thought it would have been either Thurman or Cotto till I remembered that Cotto is set to fight Canelo. So I'm guessing it's either Thurman or Garcia.
I disagree khans all risk no reward IMO floyd should stay away from Khan been saying it for around a year now. Khans the only guy who could beat him IMO. He should fight cotto easy win and he gets the real middleweight belt.Quote:

Khan can't beat Peterson...Prescott...or Garcia...but he somehow,he miraculously beats Mayweather...;D
Speed with poor accuracy ..........shit defence ..........ain't beating Floyd.
Learn the sport while you still can.
GGG is a MW...he has enough smaller fighters on his sad resume...let that coward build his legacy the hard way,like everybody else.Quote:

And by the time Crawford becomes a full-blown WW I should think Floyd will have (or should have) retired. After beating GGG, which I think is possible.Quote:

Floyd will not and should not fight GGG.
The best money fight for him next would be Khan.
There's lots of negativity towards Khan but name me a fighter that has outboxed khan?
Khan is hungry and a much better fighter under Virgil hunter.
In the 147 division today Khan is the biggest threat to floyd imo as thurman, brook and Bradley will just be like anyone else and fall in line during the fight.
Whether you like him, or don't feel like he deserves a big payday..he has the tools to give floyd something else to think about.
Khan is the same shitty fighter he's always been.Quote:
