I think that he has struggles with pressure fighters with speed, but I don't think that he really will be in trouble until he does get to the top of 147 - I don't think that he will struggle a lot against most of the top of 140, but I want to see him in with a banger with some boxing skills.
There are, as has been said, a lot of good fights out there. But, as also has been said, the dude gets huge paydays no matter who he fights. In my opinion, he will be another risk vs. reward fighter who takes the biggest payday for the least amount of risk rather than fan-friendly fights. I heard him say that he would let the public pick his next fight for him, but I don't believe it. We'll see what he does, though - and maybe he's better than I think that he is (read: smarter) and he'll remain undefeated for a while.
The fight I really want to see, though? Him versus Gamboa at 135. One of them will be exposed... I am just curious which one.
