Mayweather needs new challenges

[ross]

I disagree. In my eyes, Garcia has earned his shot at Mayweather and I am no Garcia fan. Bottom line, he sucked it up big time against a tough as nails fighter in Matthysse, he has gone through Judah, Morales & Khan too and is top of his division. I don't think he can win it, but he deserves his chance.

I agree, he may have earnt it but scraping past Judah means nothing but the reality is do we want to see that fight? Hes done nothing spectacualr and its going to take someone with something spcial, be it strength, speed, power, whatever to be competetive with Floyd.

Also, beating Mattheysse? He can bang but he lost to Judah!

I had Matthysse beating Judah.

As for Floyd, I think he's unbeatable. It will take some major decline for Floyd to lose so I think it doesn't matter who he is in the ring with, he will win. This is why I'd give it to Garcia. I don't think there is any real challenge left at 140-154, and he aint going to middleweight, so just give it to the guy who deserves it most. That guy is probably Garcia. You're absolutely right though, Khan does not deserve a shot and shouldn't get it.

Floyd is so good and the rest so bad that only a middleweight like Golovkin or Martinez would interest me seeing Floyd again. Floyd has no Hearns, Leonard or Duran unfortunately.

The fact that people would seriously even talk about Mayweather fighting anyone like Ward, Froch, or Hopkins kind of tells the whole story. These men are so much bigger than him it would almost be a sideshow. It's a shame Martinez isn't a few years younger as he's a small middle and that would've been a great fight.

This is why I think Floyd would piss all iver him.

With Floyds movement and sharpness he could do the same at super middle. When you look at it Canelo was a middle anyway. If he hadnt fought Canelo and faced Garcia instead everyone would still be raving about Canelo and how Floyd would be scared to face him because of the size but Floyd not only faced him he pissed all iver him. Out of all the super middle champs, Froch would be the easiest for Floyd to hit and the biggest name.

I always used to think that a fighter moving up would just get beaten up but everyone seems to be doing it nowadays. Dont forget we are talking a very special talented, skilled fighter. He isnt getting hit for the strength to make a difference.

Mayweather has already moved up so much, he is actually weighing less in the ring than he does making 150 for weigh ins. Froch and Ward are really big guys in comparison, they have been at 168 since they were young men, when Floyd was still a featherweight. I don't give Floyd a realistic chance against people like that, it's a mind boggling size disparity. How exactly would Floyd approach training for a supermiddleweight fight, is he going to bulk up to 161 for the weigh in, or just give up 15 pounds instead. Either way it's not even really a fight as much as a sideshow, he'd lose strictly due to size which is never what you want to see.

I don't think Garcia should even consider fighting Floyd, because when Floyd retires he can be the next undefeated fighter.

We know Floyd is at the top of his game, next comes Garcia.

I wouldn't want Garcia to tarnish his record with a clear loss... but then again, what if he just wants the money and not the legacy?

I told folks before that Garcia is the REAL DEAL.... to hell with Broner, Danny Garcia is the next big star and already is a star. His star is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

A Garcia/Broner showdown seems inevitable- with Garcia winning by a split or a very close UD.

... also, I believe Froch and/or GGG sparks Mayweather out cold. Moreso Froch.

I don't think we have been watching the Carl Froch since he made the comeback and won the title by disgracing Lucian Bute. He is a very different Carl Froch. No one, aside from WArd (more of his size and can take a Super Middle punch) is able to deal with Froch at this stage.

A Ward/Mayweather fight would be interesting, but we know it won't happen.

Floyd would more than likely take a Sergio Martinez fight and beat him soundly....

Mayweather won't want a GGG fight. Too much power and too accurate. It's not necessarily the speed, but the size and the punch accuracy- which is much better than Canelo's or anyone else in the business.

I'm not sure that super middleweight is the way to go, but there is a point in the thread. Who can Mayweather face? He's running out of credible opponents. Khan isn't a viable option. Sorry. Garcia is, although it's not a close fight at all. Bradley/Pacquiao/Martinez are on HBO. I struggle to see who else is out there.
