Just some thoughts about Floyd's latest comments

[bzkfn]

Ok, I've read a bunch of quoteslately from Mayweather as to why he is disregarding certain fighters as his next opponent. In the last week I've heard Floyd say he won't fight Shane Mosley because Mosley had his chance and turned Floyd down in 1999, so why should hane get his chance now? I've also read that e has said that he's not going to sit and wait around for the Cotto-Pacquiao winner to consider as his next opponent. So this means he's unlikely to consider or wait around for Paul Williams either. So in all honesty, who the fuck is there left to fight? I've been thinking about it and the only other name I can think of that would be vaguely acceptable is Berto. Does anyone think that all his words are just a bargaining tool to lure Pacquiao next, or do you think he genuinely believes there is somebody else out there worth fighting?


Who else would you guys consider acceptable as an opponent?

a famous floyd comment without him bringing up race or the MMA

The winner of Adamek/Golota probably.

I have no idea who he'll fight next if not Mosley or people that have fights lined up his Welterweight opponent list has dwindled to Selcuk Aydin and Isaac Hlatshwayo, neither one is appealing by financial standards and it appears Floyd can't make 140 anymore so possibly someone at 154.....Cory Spinks maybe?

Malignaggi at a catchweight of 145 pounds obviously. Malignaggi is just off of a controversial loss, so he is an ideal Mayweather opponent IMO.

He'll fight the Pacquiao/Cotto winner, there will be too much money in that fight regardless of who it is to not do it. Trust that if Cotto destroys Pacquiao, he will become a star.

Berto is fighting Mosley in January anyway. The winner of that fight will fight the Mayweather-Pacquiao/Cotto winner.

When I read your post I laughed for like a minute straight! Mallinaggi Dude seriously?? Mallinaggi? Whether he won or not against Diaz doesnt matter, Malli freakin naggi? He's beaten no notable fighter his entire career, couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper sack and you want him to go agaisn't arguably the best fighter in the world?? Oh And I can just see Mayweather wanting to fight such a PPV draw like Mallinaggi!
Cooooommmmeee oooooooon!

hatton already destroyed malignaggi. why would pbf fight somebody who came from a loss (though controversial), and also lost convincingly to someone he destroyed too?(hatton)

I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd accept Ivan Calderon's challenge. Calderon repeated called out Floyd before his rematch with Mayol.

I find it hard to believe Floyd is dodging Mosley, Pac or Cotto......I think he would be a handy favorite in all three fights and would most likely win all three fights......Floyd talks his smack to drum up interesting interviews, get himself in the spotlight, and build for fights. He also runs down his opponents to give him bargaining power in negotiations.......

If Floyd fought Pac or Cotto I would pull for the latter, if he fought Mosley I would pull for Floyd.....I am getting to the point where I root against any Golden Boy fighter.....
