Floyd Mayweather Jr - Four Possible Opponents in 09

[TheDemolitionDan]

and then charlie the unicorn will find the enchanted pickle and have an awesome orgy with a team of Swedish bikini models

I wouldn't go THAT far with it, it is a stretch picking Hatton to beat Mayweather in a rematch, but it's not like it's fantasy talk. I'm not saying Hatton would knock him out in the 2nd round all I'm saying is Hatton in England at 140 has a very good chance to beat Mayweather.

And why do you think PBF would go down to 140 to fight Hatton?? Is it because Hatton honestly accepted that he's too small for 147??

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!!

Oh for God sakes, Marquez is great but he's way too small.

He fights Mayweather at 147 and he gets knocked out.

Plain and simple.

[XaduBoxer]

If I ranked the 5 possible opponents according to who will give PBF the toughest fight, my list would look like this:

1. Mosley
2. PAC
3. Hoya - we've seen this before and Hoya gave a split decision result
4. JMM
5. Hatton - we've seen this before and Hatton was KO'ed by the ring post

That was 2 years ago at 154 Oscars prime weight for the past 10 years
When Hatton or Floyd trounce your boy, will you promise to leave here...

Why do you post here?
Your not liked that much here. Probably because you got banned from other forums huh?
Dosent Pac have his own dedicated fan Forum? If not why dont you start one

Yes that was 2 years ago and it's true that it was a close fight, a split decision... Many even thought that if Hoya didn't abandoned his jab in the latter rounds, he could have won that fight... After that Hoya only fought twice, he looked good against Forbes and looked very bad against PAC... But styles makes fights, PBF's style allowed Hoya to open up on him and look good... You can't really just write off Hoya totally against PBF just because PAC annihilated Hoya... Remember, styles makes fights...

And what's with so much protest about my postings?? I'm just presenting my personal boxing opinion here and you can freely argue with that instead of attacking why I post here...

I highly doubt Team Hatton and GBP can afford to offer Mayweather Jr. US $25M for him to go down to 140 and fight Hatton... It's so risky and there's no guarantee Hatton will surely prevail at 140... We've already seen that once before and Hatton was KO'ed by the ring post...

[Violent Demise]

PBF is expected to win easily over JMM... PBF has all the advantages over JMM, too big and too fast for JMM to handle..

I think Marquez has a lot more to offer

Care to enumerate them? I see experience as the only JMM advantage over PBF...

super mega huge event fight .

Sounds super, mega, huge, awesome................

Well, current #1 P4P versus just recently retired #1 P4P needs no selling... It's really a super mega huge event fight...

Mayweather isn't at 10% like Oscar was. Mayweather-Pacqioa is a disgraceful mismatch

I would love to see Hatton get a chance at Mayweather again in England. Hatton has improved and for the first 6 rounds it was an even fight before Cortez took a point away for nothing, while Mayweather was using his elbows etc. and Hatton got pissed and the last few rounds didn't go as planned. IMO, I think a rematch would be great in England and at 140 and Hatton would give Mayweather his first loss.

140. Hatton backyard. Doesn't matter. Hatton will never beat Mayweather. I don't even see him being competitive

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.

JESUS!

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

Greatest ever is going to far. Kel's a clown. By I agree with his response.

[THE THIRD MAN]

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...

That depends on the outcome of PAC-Hatton... If PAC defeats Hatton more convincingly than what PBF did to Hatton then PAC-PBF will not be considered a mismatch... Honestly it's very difficult to top what PBF did to Hatton (knocking Hatton out by slamming him to the ring post) but I still think PAC can surpass that by knocking Hatton out by slamming him to the canvass inside 9 rounds... It's only my personal opinion though...

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.

Co-sign

[boricua]

Cotto or Mosely would both be very interesting, both would be Floyd's hardest ever fight imo

co-sign....

[Rocky Balboa]

Cotto brings nothing that will give PBF any problems. The only guy I can see posing a challenge is Mosley. Pacmans style allows him to beat fighters more brutally than PBF but noone can touch PBF so his opponents all go out the same, with one more loss. Say Pacquiao totally KOs Hatton, I still wouldnt question Floyds superiority. Pacquiao would still loose. Styles make fights. If your inferior to Manny, you will be beaten senseless. If your superior (like Floyd), he doesnt do much. Mayweather though is not a power puncher but a defensive counterpuncher. He makes everyone look the same.

Co-signed... PBF will knock out JMM...
