    If floyd never fought canelo everyone would be saying he is ducking him.

    Be honest.

    Floyd is old and still fighting the best out there.

    I think I put Floyd's win over Canelo in proper perspective. It was a good win, and Canelo is younger and larger. I also knew that Floyd would win that pretty easy due to Canelo being one dimensional and relatively inexperienced at that elite level. Still was a good performance.

    I also tend to give Floyd more credit than most for his wins over Judah and Baldomir. Judah is awkward and talented and I thought Floyd looked great setting traps and adjusting as the fight went on in that one. Baldy was hitting his stride and was a much bigger man who had developed solid skills. They weren't great wins, but they were better than most give credit for.

    I was not impressed with the Cotto win and I wouldn't be impressed if he beat him again. Cotto just isn't what he was in his prime. He has slipped. Floyd's wins over Mosely, Oscar, Sharmba Mitchell and Cotto were diminished in my eyes as those men were not anywhere near their primes at the time.

    Young Floyd had the mentality of a great fighter. He had that desire to "slay the dragon" and beat the toughest challenge out there. He CHASED Chico. He DEMANDED that fight to prove his greatness. Same with Castillo. He jumped up with no tune ups and took on the true champ who was hitting his stride and cleaning out the division. Floyd has fought solid competition since then, no doubt. He hasn't strived to prove his greatness and make the really big fights like he used to either, and that is what fans are unhappy about. It isn't hating. It's just being honest and stating why a fighter isn't as great in your personal opinion.

    Barring a fight with any current middleweight, super middleweight, lightheavy etc...

    Who do you view as a legitimate challenge for Floyd?

    Who would you be satisfied with him fighting? (Who would stop your stupid baby whining?)

    Ah, Rocco, my favorite little window licker. I've already stated numerous times who I would've liked to have seen Floyd fight. The tears must blur your vision or something. Right now, there isn't a fighter 154 and down who would give Floyd a great challenge. Manny is still good, but is the smaller man and not the force he was 4 years ago. Danny Garcia, in my opinion, is overrated and loses to the first solid fighter who doesn't take him lightly. Bradley isn't what he was. JMM is waaaay past his best. Thurman is green. Khan is chinny, has stamina issues, and is inconsistent. Kell Brook beat Porter, but that is a far cry from Floyd. Brook needs more seasoning. Andrade is green and not even calling Floyd out. Lara and Floyd together would make me cry from the sheer pacifism and non engagement in the ring. Just to clarify, no one is crying but you. Most of us are having a rational discussion on why we rank Floyd a certain way and who we would like to see him fight. You come out of left field throwing a tantrum like a woman scorned who caught Floyd in bed with her sister. Get a grip.

    I don't think anyone would complain if Floyd signed to fight Thurman, Brook, Khan, or Pacquiao. After the two Maidana fights, those are all legitimately interesting match ups imo.

    I'm not interested in Brook or Thurman at all. I would pay to watch him fight Manny for sure. I probably would pay for a Khan fight, but I wouldn't feel good about it and would hope for Khan to fight up to Floyd's level.

    I didn't ask you who you would have had liked to see him fight in the past but who you would like to see him fight in the future. That's not the same thing. Donkey.

    So your answer is no one. Thanks for coming out.

    Another ignorant reply. What started this conversation was my statement that I would like to see Floyd fight GGG. U got butt hurt and started whining. Now you are asking who I'd like to see Floyd fight other than GGG. I told you why GGG, a guy who is willing to make 154, is the one fight left that will impress me. You don't like people's answers so you put silly little caveats on to try and prove some ignorant point.

    I've actually explained in about 8 different ways why Floyd will not fight someone like GGG. It's you who either can't understand or are simply unwilling to give any credence to my multifaceted argument. But you also haven't been able to form much of a rebuttal.

    Danny lost to Herrera. Ask him why he won't give him a rematch.

    On paper he won an extremely close match.

    Were you one of the majority that said he was running scared of lucas ..we all know what happened there!

    Garcia beat khan and matthysse and has shown he steps his game up for every big fight but he possibly overlooked herrera...but still won.

    Legitimate challenge below 160. There's not too many foes out there if I'm honest that Mayweather hasn't beat. If Thurman had a quality win or two at welterweight, he's not a bad challenge. He needs a win though over someone like Kell Brook or Shawn Porter. Demetrius Andrade is a good challenge too. He's coming off a good win over Vanes Martirosyan and it looks like he might move to Showtime to face a Charlo brother in December. Assuming he comes out with a win, he might be the best option. Kell Brook hismelf isn't a bad fight, but I don't know if he has enough to really challenge Mayweather. Some people like the style match-up with Khan, but I'm not convinced because of Khan's chin. If Kirkland would get his act together, even though Mayweather wins the fight easy, it's a fun fight for four rounds. I'm not even mentioning Pacquiao because that ship has sailed. I'm tired of it even being brought up.

    Regardless, I'd be more excited about Mayweather fighting GGG than any potential fight I listed. Also, I think he'd win or it'd be close.
