Who does Floyd have left to fight since he will forever run from Manny?

[ruthless rocco]

Boxing needs Floyd to fight Pac, it's the sport of boxing that needs it more than anything else. We should be talking about fight 2 by now, yet we are no closer to fight 1 happening and that is the shame of it all.

boxing needs all the top fighters in each weight division to stop being total pussies and start fighting each other. a loss isn't something to be ashamed of. it shows you took on the best and continued to grow.

title holders should only fight guys in the top 5 ever. #1's fighting #12's for titles is embarrassing!

Pacquiao would be the one getting his ass kicked, but I also doubt the fight will happen. Mayweather won't give him a 50/50 split which I can kind of understand, but it seems Manny doesn't. I think a fight with Martinez is the only other great matchup out there plus it would give him a crack at the middleweight crown which makes it really lucrative for Floyd. One would expect Sergio to take almost anything substantial to make that happen as well, it should be easy to negotiate and all.

It has nothing to do with the fighters in most cases, it's the sanctioning bodies along with the fans who actually pay (as in not me) that dictate what career paths bring the best dividends. Every boxer worth their salt wants to maximize their earning potential in the long run, it's merely a coincidence if that is by way of fighting the best opposition. Guys like Carl Froch are indeed a breath of fresh air, but it's not like he's been turning down easy pay days to instead fight all of the best guys out there

riiiight... the fighters are just a pawn in the game.

I agree, something has gone missing in recent years. The 80's was a golden age as you had Hagler, Leonard, Duran, Benitez and Hearns all fighting each other. Pryor took on Arguello, Sanchez had already fought Gomez and Nelson by the time of his death, i am certain he would've fought Nelson again. We had a surge in the 90's with DLH taking on Chavez, Whitaker, Mosley and Trinidad (you can't accuse the golden boy of ducking anyone) These days it appears just a little more difficult to get organised?

I'm hoping Floyd break that great fighter record that retired undefeated at 49-0. ROCKY something!!! Which means my list will consist of Floyd's next 8 opponents

Cotto 43
Bradley 44
Berto 45
Khan 46
Ortiz rematch 47
Kirkland 48
Martinez 49
Saul 49-1

Floyd vs Pacman won't happen

Your list is nice but I doubt he fights much longer. Rematch Ortiz? Why....Ortiz sucks major balls. I agree Martinez will beat him but Floyd will either never fight him or wait for Martinez to slide. In fact I think Floyd is on the slide, and hopefully cotto can show that. Cotto may not win but hopefully he can push Floyd. Floyd will either retire or pic fights he know he can win. Did Tyson, Ali, Lenore, Roy and so on pick fights they knew they could win......?

You miss understood my list. 1st of all it's a wish list. 2nd, I think Floyd can beat Martinez, Floyd's 49th victory. But I believe Canelo is the one that will beat Floyd. Thus 49-1. Saying all that, if Cotto give Floyd any problems trust and believe one of 2 things will happen. Pacman will step up. Or Floyd will hand pick his next fight and say he needs to get sharp after being in jail. Paulie or someone on that level.

Oh yeah, Saul is at the bottom of the list because he will have to build himself credit back up after losing to Shane this weekend.

If Pac - Floyd doesn't happen by the end of this year, chances are it never will.

Assuming that both Pac and Floyd win their respective fights against Bradley and Cotto, what's really left for them but to fight each other?

i don't think pac's gonna get past bradley.
people are gonna be surprised!
