Just some thoughts about Floyd's latest comments

[killersheep]

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.

[JazMerkin]

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.

[blegit]

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..

[JonesJrMayweather]

Probably Katsidis...

He will have to fight the winner of Cotto v Pac, he is intimidated by Moseley and no one will watch him against any blown up lightweight again.

If that's the case, then Mosley should be left out for being a bitch 10 years ago (Even tho Shane ducked Floyd more times that that & more recently than that)

If I needed a guy to make the fight & he refused for whatever reason, i'm certainly not going to take a pay cut (a Pac or Cotto fight would get more $) just to fight him now that he needs me.

Floyd has every right to turn Shane away, especially after the disrespectful & unprofessional way Shane went about asking for the fight.

Some fighters would see that as all the more reason to get in the ring with them and give them a beat down..

Like I said, we are talking about big time International boxing where fighters are making 10's of millions of dollars per fight, due to the fans wanting to see the fight.. It's not school yard sessions where if someone disses you, you hold the grudge like a girl....

I admit i'm a little harsher because it's Floyd, but the Mayweathers disrespect just about everyone in the game, and if that was the basis of whether someone should fight another or not, then Floyd would probably only have half the record he has now..

I understand why Mayweather don't want to fight Shane.. I don't agree with it..

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.

Mayweather will shit his pants, no way would he fight a real dangerous welter. Especially if he batters Pac like you state. the closer the fight and the more they take out of each other will give Floyd the courage to take the fight.

[Kirkland Laing]

I think Jaz is right here. It's not like Floyd has a lot of options, to sell a big PPV he needs a credible name opponent and there's only Manny and Shane, or Cotto and Shane if Cotto wins. I think Floyd and Manny will agree on 50-50 of the biggest potential pot out there and fight.

Nah I totally disagree with you on this, and JT will back me up 100 percent on this.

Floyd is an excellent businessman, shrewd and street smart and he's carefully managed his career but he's in no way a coward.

If Cotto did a highlight job on Manny I guarantee Floyd would get that fight made. He would want a super shit load of cash for sure but he would make that fight.

Look at his resume, he may have avoided certain people who at that time appeared dangerous, (Margarito, Mosely etc) but it's been because he's been chasing the big paydays.

You can't move from superfeatherweight all the way to junior middleweight without taking serious risks and despite his reputation for handpicking opponents there isn't a fighter in the world with a better resume than him.

He fought Coralles, he rematched Castillo after he had already beaten him because some people didn't like the result, he went up to 154 to fight Oscar in his own weight class and say what you like about Hatton and Marquez being smaller men, nobody can deny they were top 10 ranked fighters and the undisputed champs in their own weight classes.

If the money is there Floyd will fight Manny, Mosely or Cotto, doesn't matter to him, being greedy isn't the same as being yellow.
