Mayweather is smoke and mirrors in terms of opposition and it isn't a crime to say as much He is seemingly an impeccable boxer, so it is just a shame that he is so obsessed with the money and the 0, to ever put it completely on the line.

People then say, well what do you suggest? My answer to that is simple. I want to see him against someone with heart, with skills, with speed. Currently it is plodder after plodder and carefully, carefully chosen. Bradley, Pacquiao, or Golovkin at 154, are obvious fights to make.
Not a crime but it is pathetic.
It's true. Canelo was built on a diet of easy opposition and it isn't a crime to say as much. Then he was drawn to 152 and easily outpointed as he cannot fight a minute of any round.

Now put Floyd in with the opponents I have suggested and see if the same would happen. Floyd won't fight them. Floyd won't be dictated to by anyone. He will pick his opponent and he will manipulate the sales.

It has been this way for years. To fight Floyd you need to pressure, have speed, and have output and none of these opponents have had that.
