    Should this phantom fight ever play out, I think its safe to say that neither are in their prime and also that such would be the first thing out of their teams mouth for the loser.

    They are both on the slide and one has an 0. Now I would think that if they (Floyds team) were considering it they would want this for the 50th or maybe the Marciano equaling 49th.
    Different era. Different opponents.

    BUT it would be nice to be 50-0 and floyd must think about this figure bigtime.

    48 - khan or alexander

    49 - danny garcia

    50 - ?
    He won't fight Khan or Garcia he'll probably fight Cotto because he likes to regurgitate, rinse and repeat, cover every angle, remove risk, be dull and predictable, fight at home, struggle against muppets and then take instagram pics of himself in bed with his money. How can you take someone like that seriously ?

    Who has he regurgitated??!!

    He has had two rematches in his entire career!

    Smothering himself in money on instagram is what makes people despise him even more and sell even more tickets.

    This is a business after all..

    Maidana was Embarrassing. This is the guy who lost to Kotelnik, Khan and Alexander and Floyd couldn't close the show. He is not the fighter he was.

    Floyd was never going to close the show.

    You saw the last round it was appalling.

    Floyd chose the last round to run and does just enough to win.

    This is not a guy that knocks people out and constantly goes for the kill.

    He knocked out hatton going backwards on a counter and only when it was visibly obvious he was out of it he went for the kill.

    This is the way floyd fights and will choose to hit whilst not getting hit and it seems to be working well so far..

    There are no more maidana type opponents in the 147 divison so you will see a different floyd in the way he deals with the next opponent.

    Perhaps the style maidana fought was a slight blueprint to trouble floyd but floyd will be well aware of this...

    He is 38 next year and is on the slide but a 80% floyd mayweather is still better than everyone in the division today and the better the fighter the better that floyd will adapt on the night...

    I might be wrong..

    If that's true, they need to just make the god damn fight. I know it's not what it was a few years ago and everyone is fed up talking about it, but it really doesn't make any sense for either guy not to take it as their careers are winding down. Floyd is under contract with CBS, so if they are involved meeting with Arum etc it may well not even be up to him in the end. His rematch with Maidana didn't do strong numbers, and there is nobody aside from Pacquiao who would guarantee even topping that, let alone by the landslide that fight would. Manny could fight any 2 guys and not make that much money either, not to mention if Arum actually wants it made he won't have a choice either.

    I stated in my post why I hope for that.

    It's the first sentence in the post.

    The one right above the one where I said I hoped it didn't happen.

    Doesnt work like that buttercup.

    It SHOULD work like that but it never will.

    Whatever happens with this fight manny will have to take less than floyd and it all comes down to whether bob arum will tolerate that or not.

    Dont blame me.

    Thats modern day boxing business and it sucks.
