Mayweather's Next Opponent - Poll

[Rantcatrat]

Who would you prefer to see Mayweather in with in his next fight? Clearly Pacquiao and Mosley/Berto are the preferred choices, but it looks like those fights don't make sense to Mayweather now for some reason or the other, out of the options being presently looked at by Team Mayweather:

Paulie Malignaggi
Matthew Hatton
Nate Campbell
Tim Bradley
Kermit Cintron
Paul Williams (not sure he is being looked at actually)

None of these fighters are Top Rank fighters.

Williams is the only one on the list that actually offers a challenge... PBF will receive zero credit for fighting anyone on that list... Just stating the obvious...

[ryanman]

Me thinks it might be Mallignaggi

I voted Cintron he's a decent welterweight and a big puncher.I carnt see Paul Williams fight happening on the 13march.I wouldnt be unhappy if he fought Bradley as he's the man at 140 and has the speed to trouble Floyd

Do u care to explain the sentence i have put in bold? Pac pulled out of the negotiations for the PBF fight, and its clearly his fault that fight aint happening. Mosely and Berto are fighting soon and so neither will be available soon. So its not 'some reason or another'.

My explanation is that Floyd doesn't like to take risky fights at least as of recent. He isn't fighting Pacquiao because Pacquiao wouldn't submit to his demands, the only logical opponent is Mosley and maybe Paul Williams.

Shane and Berto fight on January 30th. Today it is January 12th and Mayweather hasn't chosen an opponent. The fight date proposed for the Mayweather fight is in April. I assure you for Floyd Mayweather-fight money, both Berto and Mosley will be ready to fight in April. Moreover, both are bigger money fights, better fights, and more meaningful to boxing. And if Floyd needs to push back his fight for a month to give them time, why not? It is a much better match than any on the list.

It aint good business to pick an opponent for the future before they've had their fight. Ask Hopkins.

Semantics. I'm saying Mosley or Berto is a better opponent than any on the list other than Paul Williams.

I'd say Bradley or Cintron would be good opponents if no one else is available, and he wants to fight earlier. I cant see Williams getting down to 147 again.

It wouldn't matter if Paul Williams was the biggest draw in boxing history. Mayweather would never step into the ring with him. He'd run faster from Williams than he did from Margarito. I think Williams beats him anyway. I'd like to see him fight the winner of Mosely/Berto. I'd have more interest in that fight than I would Pacman/Clottey

[Fenster]

The Willaims fight wont happen in a million years and the rest are basically gimmes. Maybe Bradley would be half interesting.. as a buying time fight.

Pac or Mosley/Berto winner or Pac or Pac or Pac or Pac are the only serious competitive fights for Floyd.

but Mayweather/Cintron or Mayweather/Bradley are no worse than Pacquiao/Clottey

[ryanman]

I wouldn't have a problem with Mayweather - Bradley. I think thats a pretty decent stop gap fight.

Also, out of interest, i checked the odds for Pac - Clottey. It was 1/2 Pac and 6/4 Clottey. Thats pretty close odds really.

honestly i hope that Clottey puts on the performance of his life and brutally stops Pacquiao, not only does he deserve it (Clottey the big win) but well Pacquiao does as well (to be brutally stopped)

[CFH]

I'd love to see Campbell get the payday, but from a boxing fan's perspective it has to be Williams IMO.
