Mayweather Plans To Vacate All Five of World Titles - Boxing News
Brook, Khan, Thurman or Garcia for me. I don't think floyd should vacate just yet but looks like it could happen.
So by the end of the year we'll have 4 welterweight champs (5 if you count Thurman's title). Pathetic.
I've previously started a thread about Catchweights, but there are exceptions to the rule. Floyd to fight GGG at LMW. there is not a single fight out there that comes close to that . He's beaten everyone there is to beat. Floyd definitely wants this to be his last fight , and I don't see a bigger challenge . It's greatness he's after, that's why he's relinquishing the belts, been there, done that.
Tbh , even if he beats GGG, there will always be people out there that are gonna shit on his achievements.
Says his last fight will be Sept but I just cant see him stopping at 49. I was hoping there would be a chance for Brook since money cant be an issue anymore and its a chance for full unification but alas he's not going to hang around for a mandatory.
Khan should start his ducking campaign by next week
Money is eeverything, he won't fight again. Look what happened after Dela hoya. He done.
Yeah GGG's the fight that he should sign off on. Would definitely capture the imagination! Forget Khan - he doesn't deserve a shot at Mayweather.Quote:

If Golovkin wants to be somebody he should dare to great like Mayweather has done.
Greatness can't be achieved in an enviroment as devoid of talent as is the current Middleweight division.
This is the WORST middleweight division .................EVER.
One of the top guys in the division was knocked off by Cotto;D
Even Jermain Taylor was able to come back and win a belt....smh.
GGG vs Ward would capture the imagination.Quote:

He's fought enough smaller fighters as it is.
Floyd,a small WW, is not a challenge to Golovkin...he's not a threat..GGG's resume is already loaded with non-threatening fighters.
At 33 years of age,it is time for him to make some major strides in his level of opposition.
Ok Corvette, here we go again, this time , who should Floyd fight next ? If he don't fight GGG , who does he fight? xxx
So your saying Mayweather not good enough to take on ggg.Quote:

It's his last fight and he'll want to sign off with a win, so it will be someone hand picked for harmlessness.
Mayweather has one more fight left in his TV deal and then he says he's done. His greatness is already assured but why not sign off in style at 154? GGG comes down to meet him - there's no other opponent that could generate the same interest as a fight with GGG would in my opinion. I think any proposed fight with Ward and GGG is a mute point until we see if Ward becomes an active fighter again post Smith.Quote:

There is absolutely no chance Floyd will fight GGG. None at all.Quote:

He's just given the people the fight they wanted, albeit 5 years too late, and earned himself a fortune. Let's face it, he doesn't really have anything to prove and he'll be looking to sign off with a nice easy win.
Agree that he'll want to sign off with an easy fight but in reality then who will care? As I said before a fight with GGG captures the public imagination and a win for Mayweather signs off in style and at the top against another P4P fighter at the top. I'd rather he buy out the final fight of his contract and retire now rather than going through the motions with some no-note like Khan or Garcia.Quote:

Unfortunately I think a rematch is inevitable. You can just feel it and the tag line will be the money it produced and "the shot in the arm" the match gave boxing. Which is total horseshart.
I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Khan. For all his limitations, Khan does have incredibly fast hands and that could make things interesting. He's also much younger and his energy might at least bring something.Quote:

There is no way the GGG fight will happen. Neither of them are going to want a risky fight like that right now. GGG is pretty much untouchable in his division and in for plenty of nice comfortable pay days, while Floyd is looking to retire undefeated with a comfortable pay day of his own. Unless there's crazy money on the table, neither of them are likely to be interested.
I hear what you're saying about GGG and sadly you're most likely correct but I think to give Khan a shot is not the way to go. Khan in my opinion is undeserving as he has a chief domestic rival to meet and beat first before he is a worthy WW opponent for Mayweather, in Kel Brook. If he had stopped messing around he could be fighting Brook at the end of the month and victory could have set him up as a legitimate challenger to Mayweather (holding the IBF portion of the title).Quote:
