Just some thoughts about Floyd's latest comments

[johnmaff36]

Ok, I've read a bunch of quoteslately from Mayweather as to why he is disregarding certain fighters as his next opponent. In the last week I've heard Floyd say he won't fight Shane Mosley because Mosley had his chance and turned Floyd down in 1999, so why should hane get his chance now? I've also read that e has said that he's not going to sit and wait around for the Cotto-Pacquiao winner to consider as his next opponent. So this means he's unlikely to consider or wait around for Paul Williams either. So in all honesty, who the fuck is there left to fight? I've been thinking about it and the only other name I can think of that would be vaguely acceptable is Berto. Does anyone think that all his words are just a bargaining tool to lure Pacquiao next, or do you think he genuinely believes there is somebody else out there worth fighting?


Who else would you guys consider acceptable as an opponent?

The winner of Adamek/Golota probably.

I have no idea who he'll fight next if not Mosley or people that have fights lined up his Welterweight opponent list has dwindled to Selcuk Aydin and Isaac Hlatshwayo, neither one is appealing by financial standards and it appears Floyd can't make 140 anymore so possibly someone at 154.....Cory Spinks maybe?

Malignaggi at a catchweight of 145 pounds obviously. Malignaggi is just off of a controversial loss, so he is an ideal Mayweather opponent IMO.

He'll fight the Pacquiao/Cotto winner, there will be too much money in that fight regardless of who it is to not do it. Trust that if Cotto destroys Pacquiao, he will become a star.

Berto is fighting Mosley in January anyway. The winner of that fight will fight the Mayweather-Pacquiao/Cotto winner.

I think this is just tactical. But I think he really does detest Mosley and will not let him in. Heck, nobody is letting Mosley in. Cotto declined a rematch, Pac refused even after Mosley conceded to everything even resorting to begging at Roach's gym, and PBF says no. But PBF will fight the winner of Pac/Cotto and if Pac wins then he knows the negotiations may be be tougher than the fight. So he must bluff that he doesn't need the fight and balk at walking away from possibly a 2+ million PPV drawing fight. Nobody wants that and the powers that be must use every leverage tool they have to get the biggest piece of pie they can from the biggest fight in boxing.

I think Pac might be willing to fight Mosley if he beats Cotto... PBF is an idiot for saying that Mosley had his shot 10 years ago and passed it up so he's not going to fight him now..

This is why I love the Mexican fighters... I love it when post fight interviews have an interviewer asking them what fights they really want or don't want, and all the fighters say is "I'm a fighter, I just train hard, and i'll fight anyone. I leave that up to management, but i'm ready to fight anyone"... Margarito, Cotto, Pac, and many others have that attitude.. None of this, oh he dissed me 10 years ago so I aint giving him nothing now..

Well I partly hope Floyd doesn't even end up with a fight..I would like the winner out of Pac/Cotto to deny Floyd, which is what Floyd wants anyway, because he said he doesn't want to wait,,, then I want them to line up Mosley after his win in January.... Leave Floyd out in the cold for being such a b!tch about everything..

When I read your post I laughed for like a minute straight! Mallinaggi Dude seriously?? Mallinaggi? Whether he won or not against Diaz doesnt matter, Malli freakin naggi? He's beaten no notable fighter his entire career, couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper sack and you want him to go agaisn't arguably the best fighter in the world?? Oh And I can just see Mayweather wanting to fight such a PPV draw like Mallinaggi!
Cooooommmmeee oooooooon!

Miles was being sarcastic FFS!

lol at levi#1BoxingFan, ha what a moron


Anyway I believe Floyd's next fight will be against Miguel Cotto in the spring.

I know most seem to think Cotto is practically a gimme for Manny Pacquaio but I honestly believe he will batter the living shit out of him and finish him inside the distance.

For me Cotto wins inside 8 maybe inside 4 if he lands early.

I think Miguel will look awesome and then everyone will be chomping at the bit for a Cotto Mayweather fight.

You should have laughed as it was meant to be funny.

I was taking the mickey out of Mayweather's propensity to hand pick. Like Bilbo has said, Mayweather has a quality resume, but he also has his share of questionable fights. Fighting Judah on the back of a loss and only then going on to face the almighty Baldmomir, fighting a 135 pounder in a WW fight and who exactly did Mayweather fight at JWW?

The man has skills, but that is why I want to see him close his mouth and actually fight the opponents people want him to.

hatton already destroyed malignaggi. why would pbf fight somebody who came from a loss (though controversial), and also lost convincingly to someone he destroyed too?(hatton)
