Mayweather needs new challenges
I think we can all agree that the little time Mayweather has left should not be wasted on Khan or Garcia.
Id like to see some interesting challenges like a move up to middle weight where I believe he could clean up, or at least beat the divisions best regarded fighter Martinez. Canelo is a middleweight anyway and his strength played no part what so ever in this fight, I personally thought that would be the one thing that Floyd may struggle with but his sharpness and accuracy intimidates his opponents not to throw.
Could he be successfull at super middle?
Someone like Ward would press the strength advantage because he holds so mch but someone like Froch could be pecked away at all night. Froch like Canelo will do well when someone wants a scrap but put an opponent you cant hit cleanly and who WILL pop you back constantly and he will look shite, like he did against Dirrell. Im not sure Frochs strength would end up laying any part. Mayweather could make him look very silly and slow BUT if he did get caught it could turn sour. Would be very interesting though and maybe a challenge enough for Mayweather to take it and become a legend.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
4 fights left I want to see him in with
1. Martinez
2. Pacman if he looks good against rios
3. Khan just because he's faster than mayweather would be interesting
4. Bradly if he beat Marquez
Then he will be 49-0 we all no he will at least go for 50-0 would love to see him fuck up broner if he's still undefeated.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I disagree. In my eyes, Garcia has earned his shot at Mayweather and I am no Garcia fan. Bottom line, he sucked it up big time against a tough as nails fighter in Matthysse, he has gone through Judah, Morales & Khan too and is top of his division. I don't think he can win it, but he deserves his chance.

I agree, he may have earnt it but scraping past Judah means nothing but the reality is do we want to see that fight? Hes done nothing spectacualr and its going to take someone with something spcial, be it strength, speed, power, whatever to be competetive with Floyd.
Also, beating Mattheysse? He can bang but he lost to Judah!

I had Matthysse beating Judah.
As for Floyd, I think he's unbeatable. It will take some major decline for Floyd to lose so I think it doesn't matter who he is in the ring with, he will win. This is why I'd give it to Garcia. I don't think there is any real challenge left at 140-154, and he aint going to middleweight, so just give it to the guy who deserves it most. That guy is probably Garcia. You're absolutely right though, Khan does not deserve a shot and shouldn't get it.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
Floyd is so good and the rest so bad that only a middleweight like Golovkin or Martinez would interest me seeing Floyd again. Floyd has no Hearns, Leonard or Duran unfortunately.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
The fact that people would seriously even talk about Mayweather fighting anyone like Ward, Froch, or Hopkins kind of tells the whole story. These men are so much bigger than him it would almost be a sideshow. It's a shame Martinez isn't a few years younger as he's a small middle and that would've been a great fight.

This is why I think Floyd would piss all iver him.
With Floyds movement and sharpness he could do the same at super middle. When you look at it Canelo was a middle anyway. If he hadnt fought Canelo and faced Garcia instead everyone would still be raving about Canelo and how Floyd would be scared to face him because of the size but Floyd not only faced him he pissed all iver him. Out of all the super middle champs, Froch would be the easiest for Floyd to hit and the biggest name.
I always used to think that a fighter moving up would just get beaten up but everyone seems to be doing it nowadays. Dont forget we are talking a very special talented, skilled fighter. He isnt getting hit for the strength to make a difference.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I don't think Garcia should even consider fighting Floyd, because when Floyd retires he can be the next undefeated fighter.
We know Floyd is at the top of his game, next comes Garcia.
I wouldn't want Garcia to tarnish his record with a clear loss... but then again, what if he just wants the money and not the legacy?
I told folks before that Garcia is the REAL DEAL.... to hell with Broner, Danny Garcia is the next big star and already is a star. His star is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
A Garcia/Broner showdown seems inevitable- with Garcia winning by a split or a very close UD.
-
Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
... also, I believe Froch and/or GGG sparks Mayweather out cold. Moreso Froch.
I don't think we have been watching the Carl Froch since he made the comeback and won the title by disgracing Lucian Bute. He is a very different Carl Froch. No one, aside from WArd (more of his size and can take a Super Middle punch) is able to deal with Froch at this stage.
A Ward/Mayweather fight would be interesting, but we know it won't happen.
Floyd would more than likely take a Sergio Martinez fight and beat him soundly....
Mayweather won't want a GGG fight. Too much power and too accurate. It's not necessarily the speed, but the size and the punch accuracy- which is much better than Canelo's or anyone else in the business.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I'm not sure that super middleweight is the way to go, but there is a point in the thread. Who can Mayweather face? He's running out of credible opponents. Khan isn't a viable option. Sorry. Garcia is, although it's not a close fight at all. Bradley/Pacquiao/Martinez are on HBO. I struggle to see who else is out there.

Mayweather has already moved up so much, he is actually weighing less in the ring than he does making 150 for weigh ins. Froch and Ward are really big guys in comparison, they have been at 168 since they were young men, when Floyd was still a featherweight. I don't give Floyd a realistic chance against people like that, it's a mind boggling size disparity. How exactly would Floyd approach training for a supermiddleweight fight, is he going to bulk up to 161 for the weigh in, or just give up 15 pounds instead. Either way it's not even really a fight as much as a sideshow, he'd lose strictly due to size which is never what you want to see.
-
I think he could actually clean up middle weight. No KO's, but out box a win against all of them.
Super middles just wouldnt work, they are still small enough to be agile, yet they could walk right through him. He'd probably fair better (if you did start doing circus fights) against someone much bigger and slower.
Now also seems a good time to mention the whole heavyweight, weight differences. We talk about a fight not being able to happen with Floyd because of 15lbs, yet Haye is giving away 3 stone to Fury this weekend! Is it really that much different? It wouldn't make it impossible.
Floyd though is not going to want to disadvantage himself in any way though.
-
Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I think Floyd might be flying too close ot the sun if he choses to go up to MW or SMW. Floyd said himself he woke up the day of the fight at 146, which means that he's not cutting weight for WW, so he most likely is a natural 140lber. Going up and taking the 160lb punch, especially from a guy like Golovkin, would be murder. Even if he's taking it on his arms, physically I don't think he can stand up to that kind of power and I don't think he'd have enough power at that weight to keep guys from charging him.

What the fuck has Golovkin done at all to be mentioned in the same breath as Mayweather?

Ward started pro at middle...
Floyd wouldnt need to bulk up,he just beat the biggest deal at light middle who routinly weighs more than Froch does in his fights.

Hold up - Floyd could beat Golovkin at 160 and Froch/Ward at 168? I bet he can't wait to try that. Fucks sake...

Who is the best at middle? Not Golovkin, its Martinez. If Mayweather moves up, he beats Martinez.

They could weigh 154.5 and they could legitimately fight for the middle weight title.

Floyd will never ever fight above 154.
Floyd sr will never allow it.
If bradley beats marquez he deserves the fight for may 3rd...but hes with top rank so yet again theres no way bob will make that happen.
Trout wont sell.
Martinez should have lost to murrey.
Will khan beat alexander?
Is Garcia ready yet?
Pacman - toprank
Bradley - toprank
Why not give judah another payday..will be fun for 6 rounds!
Or cotto 2.
Canelo would prob beat all the fighters mentioned.
Floyd is on another level..for such a small guy.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
In fact, im surprised Canelos fans havent tried crying that Floyd only came in at 146lb so how can he fight at light middle;)

Canelo was a massive star and I think theyve shit the bed here. Mayweather could have fought Garcia while Canelo continued to build his star power. Now they have left themselves in a position where they have nothing better to move on to unless Mayweather fights Martinez at middle.
None of those names are as big as Canelo was and showtime will realise this and push for something equally as big. They arent spending £200 million on Khan or Bradley;D

Yep. They could have made even more money out of it.
Fed canelo a few more welterweights amd make that fight further down the line.
I feel as though there was a massive empty feeling after the fight..floyd could have retired there and then if he wanted too.
As much as theres loads of uk fans for floyd i cant see him fighting in the uk and leaving vegas.
Khan should fight the pac/rios winner if he beats alexander.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
The fact that Ross is seriously talking about Mayweather fighting and beating the best super-middles on the planet (and Ross isn't an idiot) just shows what a special special talent we are witnessing with Floyd.
I think Canelo will end up being regarded as a brilliant fighter, in the best tradition of great Mexicans of the past. Jesus, Floyd is 36 now and he gave him a boxing lesson
It's not Mayweathers fault he has cleaned out the divisions he has fought in. I still think that PAC of a few years ago would have been a legendary fight, but I'm not sure it would be now
Enjoy the highest paid, and probably one of the very top athletes in the world while you can. Your grandchildren will be talking about him in the same sentence as Willie Pep, Pernell Sweet Pea, Joe Gans and all the other master boxers of their trade.

That ZERO is very important to Floyd so I agree with you. Mayweather will not do anything that will even remotely jeopardize the ZERO. I wouldn't!

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I think Martinez is a less dangerous fight than Canelo. Canelo weighed 172lb against Trout (heavier than Froch weighed against Kessler!) whereas Martinez only enters the ring about 165/167lb and Martinez is near the end.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
Oddly enough, after all these years, the 2 fighters that I would be interested in seeing PBF fight are...JMM and PacMan.
1. JMM's a differnet fighter now. He's bulked up and comfortable at welter. He's also smart, and may adjust his strategy accordingly.
2. PacMan: if he's not shot, he always has a punchers chance (hell, JMM looked like he was ready to go). Being a big-underdog might help, he has a swarming style and PBF prefers a slow pace, and PBF offers him the only opportunity to effectively erase the JMM KO, besides JMM himself of course.
And I think smaller fighters bring out the best in PBF at this stage in his career. He's likes to muscle opponents around during the infighting, and tends to intimidate them by throwing head-snapping counters. Power, even if its not KO power, is a much bigger part of his game than folks realize.
Against Canelo, he did this in the middle rounds, but spent a lot more time running at the end. In the early rounds, he was jabbing a lot, which is unusual for him. I think the size difference made him more tentative.

Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
This thread brings up an interesting question: with no viable competition between 147 and 154 for Mayweather to fight, will the public buy a Mayweather fight against a boxer that has no chance at all to win? Would the public buy a fight between Broner/Garcia/Khan and Mayweather? Those are complete mismatches.
Other than the Austin Trout/Erislandy Lara, the only arguably competitive fights between 147 and 154 are against Pacquiao and Bradley, assuming they come out victorious this fall, and Mayweather and Top Rank do not do business. Not that they aren't mismatches, but still.
In my opinion, Mayweather's most competitive, realistic options out there are Lara and Trout. Both are with Golden Boy and are tougher than Broner/Khan/Garcia.
-
The thing is, they would be able to hype up a fight with Bradley, Garcia, Broner. They are viable fights. Can't see Broner happening though. But they could put enough spin on any of them to still sell bucket loads. People are going to want to watch him even more now, Floyd is a huge draw, but its still growing. He's going to have more mega fights yet.
It won't be enough spin to fool all boxing fans (although many will be) but the general public and sponsors will buy it. Celebs will still want to be all over it. It will still generate loads of cash.
I can't see the Pac fight ever happening now though.
And I really hope he doesn't fight Khan, as much as I'd want to see the speed of Khan trouble him, the reality is that he would just pick Khan apart and Khans speed would mean nothing as he would be afraid to throw because of being countered all night.
-
Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
I think both of those last posts are quite true. Floyd is without any realistic threats his size, but at the same time he will have raised his profile somewhat in beating Canelo so decisively in a huge event. Fights with Garcia, Broner, or Khan would certainly sell more than his fight with Guerrero did, although those guys may not be any better, they do have a fanbase to add to the promotion a tad. The Guerrero fight more or less flopped as it was entirely a Mayweather event, although there were some question marks over Floyd to give that fight a lot more intrigue on the flip side :dontknow:
-
Khan makes sense in that it would sell out a big stadium and sell well on PPV in Europe but would PPV sales in US be good with the time difference?
-
Re: Mayweather needs new challenges
If I picked next, honestly I would like Mayweather v Lara. Just a styles, weight thing. Might just turn into an interesting chess match...for a bit at least...rather than yet another straight line fighter. I don't see Martinez happening a'tall as the weight is all off but I don't buy Sergio as "shot" and there to be had if somehow it came off. Styles vs Floyd. Broner v Floyd is waaay off if at all. I get the impression Mayweather is doing all he can to 'help' Broner along but feels like he is dealing with a thick headed child who thinks all he has to do is watch the video and stand in the mirror posing to be huge. Khan, I dunno man. I just don't see Khan holding it together mentally even leading up to a massive match like that let alone lasting to the midway point. Jmm-Bradley winner maybe. Maybe.

Were we watching the same fight? it could have gone 25 rounds and Canelo would no have landed a big shot! Canelo said it himself, he could not find Floyd--meaning he could not land a big shot.

Are you serious it's boxing anyone can land a big lucky punch floyd schooled him but if Canelo landed a big punch the fight could of been over that's all I'm saying

There is no chance Floyd would travel there for Khan in the first place, and his showtime contract is exclusive to the MGM grand in Vegas. Hypothetically even though, no;D The UK has a lot more hardcore fans per capita, which is dope.

Schafer said his options are a Garcia fight, a khan fight, maybe a pac fight and he will consider rematches with Ortiz,Cotto and canelo in the future.
