Sorry, who is Floyd fighting?

[Rantcatrat]

Bradley? Cintron? Malignaggi? Sure they are all competent opponents for your average champion, but why the hell isn't Mayweather waiting for the winner of Berto-Mosley? It seems absurd... I mean Pacquiao is fighting the only other viable welterweight. The only option Floyd has to not look like a punk is to face Berto or Mosley. Sure they are pretty much as dangerous as Pacquiao stylistically for Floyd, but he needs to fight one of these two in April or May. If he and Manny fight on March 13th on opposing cards not only will he lose the HBO PPV because Manny will have a way better undercard and the first fight in the Cowboys stadium, but also because he will lose the negotiation rights for a fight with Manny. If Pacquiao faces CLottey with an excellent undercard and Floyd faces any of the three I mentioned he will be blown out of the water sales wise. If he faces the winner of Mosley/Berto there will be enough hype for the winner of that fight that Mayweather will easily do 1 million+ against them, but it will also make him THE champ at welterweight. That would take both the popularity and the conventional wisdom of whose the real champion out of Manny's hands. It will force Manny to fight Floyd for his belt, and IMO if Mayweather beats his opponent handily it could place him above Pacquiao p4p because I can't see Manny doing really great against Joshua Clottey, sure he will win, but it won't be as pretty as his other fights.

Nate Campbell is the front runner

Are you serious? That is ridiculous although not surprising. Tell me the fight is at 140 at least? I'm a fan of Nate's, but he is a career lightweight who only fought one fight at 140 and was losing after 3 rounds to Tim Bradley. Nate Campbell shouldn't be on the list. All Floyd has to do is wait until January 30th and fight the winner of Mosley/Berto. Do it in April. Berto is a better opponent than Campbell by a lot.
