Floyd Mayweather Jr - Four Possible Opponents in 09

[XaduBoxer]

If PBF plans to fight July 11, I don't think PAC will be ready by that date (unless PAC smash Hatton in 1 round on May 2)... So that eliminate PAC for the July 11 fight date...

PBF been out for 15 months so probably he plans for a tune-up fight this coming July 11... Out of the 4 mentioned names, JMM fits as a tune-up opponent since PBF is expected to win easily over JMM... PBF has all the advantages over JMM, too big and too fast for JMM to handle...

But I rather want to see PBF having a tune-up against a "southpaw" welter like maybe against Collazo or Quintana... You know in preparation for a super mega huge event fight towards the end of the year...
.

Mosley doesn't seem too busy at the moment. It would be the ideal fight for fans, and would mean Mayweather has the opportunity to really be the man at WW. Beating Judah off of a loss and then Baldomir, doesn't quite cut it for me.

Mosley said openly that he's waiting for the PAC-Hatton winner that's why he's not tied to any fight as of the moment... He's hoping to be lucky to land in a fight with these small kids...

If PBF will go straight with Mosley on July 11 without any tune-up fight then well and good... but I highly doubt it...

floyd would not want any part of JMM even at 147 and you can hardly blame him for it.

Same deal with Cotto - Mosley fights a possibility but all logical sense would suggest if he is to make a return it`ll be against the winner of mays superfight!!

[Pugilistic]

Marquez and Hatton shouldn't be an option.

No one wants a Hatton rematch and Marquez is too small.

I would love to see a Pacquiao or Mosley fight though.

[BoomBoom]

The only fights that would be acceptable for Floyd to tke are Cotto or Mosley.

Wouldnt be surprised to see Floyd Cotto in july... Especially if Clottey isint a done deal yet for Cotto...

A win vs Cotto and then beat Pac... would make Floyd undisputed best fighter of this generation and top 5 alltime

Im surprised Cottos name isnt on that list, lol I know he's tied down to Clottey as of right now ,but still sometime in the near future they should get it on

I think Money will face the winner of Hatton/pac first (after a possible tune up). Than Maybe Mosley or even Cotto. Those are the biggest money fights.

If Money comes back like he left I dont see him losing to any of the fighters I just mentioned.

The only fights that would be acceptable for Floyd to tke are Cotto or Mosley.

I agree totally, it's Cotto or Mosley or forget it Floyd, Williams is off chasing $ fighting Winky and i don't see either Hatton,Pac or JMM posing any threat to Floyd. He could fight both Cotto and Mosley before the end of the year. The winner of Pac V Hatton should fight JMM and maybe then take on Floyd next year.

Why? If Mayweather brings more money to the table, Why should JMM get a shot at the winner? JMM has never fought at 140lbs! There is Bradly, Holt and hell even Mighty Mick Arnaoutis who have more claim over facing a 140lbs champion. "Should", suggests JMM has some kind of right to fight the winner? JMM is lightweight Champ and his next fight "should" be defending his belts! It's about money and Pac/Hatton have the biggest draw in the game right now and the winner most likely will face the next biggest draw. If that is JMM then so be it But there is absolutely no right here....

JMM getting the winner of PAC-Hatton is like JMM hitting the lotto... IMO JMM most probably takes the loser of PAC-Hatton... Or JMM could be the tune-up fight of PBF this coming July 11...

JMM would only go above 135 to chase Pac or if Hatton wins, the man who beat Pac. JMM really wont be nearly as effective above 135 imo. As for fighting Floyd, I think Marquez is a greater fighter, but with the weight and size difference it would be a mismatch and Floyd would ko him within 6 rnds.

so JMM is to small but pac isn't?

I'll start by saying Mayweathers obviusly an ATG .I wouldnt want to see JMM Pac Hatton or Mosley. I think he beats all thos guys.None of em would do anything for me.

I think the man with the best chance of beating Mayweather is Cotto.

If he came back and beat cotto I would be ready to call him one of the greatest ever.

Not for nothing Kel, but thats a prime example of your personal hate for Mayweather..

Everyone seems to think the measuring stick for Floyds greatness hinges on Cotto, whats wrong with what that guy said

When you go thru the boards thats the one name that everyone would get off Floyds back about.. Miguel Cotto, not to mention he will most likely fight and beat Pacquiao.. If thats not icing on the cake, I dont know what is
