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:

Then maybe a star from 140 steps up to 147 Matthysee, Garcia, Rios
nahhh---he aint fightin 6 more times---he aint fought 6 times since he beat Gatti in 2005. That rate he'll be fighting his 6th fight in 2022.
1. RG
2. Canelo
3. Khan
It really isn't many cause Paulie and Devon would get dumped on, I think people are hoping Mayweather goes broke but remember most of the boxers who went broke had Arum, King or someone else in their pockets, say what you want about Mayweather but that money is in his account before he walks into the ring.
Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto.Quote:

Guerrero, Saul, Bradley, Rios, Manny, Sergio
Surely HBO and Showtime are gonna have a dick swinging war over potential fights and fighters and who fronts the bouts.
I'd be amazed if we see half the match ups we could do out of this.
;)
David Price?
Guerrero, Canelo, Rios, Gamboa, Broner, Bradley, Marquez, Pacquiao, Donaire, Trout, Garcia...I'm certain he will find 6
If he keeps improving within the next 6 of Floyd's fights, I'm willing to bet my house that Kieth Thurman will be a viable contender.
I thought Floyd was going to call it quits at age 37. I can't see him fighting six times between now and then. But if Rios and Bradley can get out of their contract with Asshole Arum then you have 2 right there. Kell Brook, Alvarez, Trout and maybe Danny Garcia down the road.
Story is circulating that Floyd will get a minimum of 30 million a fight regardless of PPV numbers and the approved list of fighters is as follows: Oh and they are all GBP fighters.
Guerrero
Alexander
Maidana
Garcia
Angulo
Alvarez
Note that he is not obligated to fight any of them via contract.
