This fight is certain to happen only one thing can de rail this fight one of them get sbeat badly.
I agree that if the money was right he might be tempted but Mayweather's goal has always been to be the fastest man to win world titles in at 5 different weights. I belive DLH did it in 10 years and Mayweather is about 7 years as a pro now.

More than anything he wants a world title at 154 lbs now. If a Margarito fight is already scheduled and if he has to rematch Judah then that would be 2006 over.

For Mayweather the clock is ticking and he wants that 154 title bad.

Personally I see the DLH or Shane Mosely fights as the most likely of the list offered but I reckon he will already be eying up the 154 lbs now. Maybe one more fight at 147 then move up again...........


But actually I don't think Mayweather should be criticised for this. People always say he should stay and dominate one division, but actually he sets higher standards for himself. I mean to set out from the beginning with the goal of being a 5 weight world champ takes one hell of a self belief. And the quicker he fufills that goal the less likely anybody else will come close to replicating it.

Personally if he does move up again then from his point of view I think he will be doing the right thing.
