Mayweather's Next Opponent - Poll

[eagle]

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

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

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)

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

He isn't fighting Pacquiao or Pacquiao isn't fighting him? Geeze. So many of the general public are still completely clueless when it comes to the reality of drug testing.
Also, I'm not sure PW will be able to make 147 anymore, Floyd might have to fight him at 154 which would be far more dangerous.
Of those opponents; I think Malignaggi could be an interesting boxing match between two quick fighters (or could just be really boring), Cintron would be dangerous because he's a big, hard hitting jr middleweight, Bradley is an excellent boxer and good all-around fighter that could give him problems, but at this point in Bradley's career, I'm not sure I'd like to see that fight. Campbell and Hatton are just jokes and are probably the only two that I would not want to see on that list. I agree with the general consensus, in that the best would be a fight with Mosley/Berto, although I'm not sure they'll be ready come March 13.

I'd like to see PBF v Bradley at 140 but i dont think Floyd would wanna go down to 140, and 147 would be too big for Tim.

Out of way left field, Floyd should challenge Seb Sylvester for his MW belt. Sylvester is only 5 foot 8......

Assuming Pwill can't make 147 any more, recall that Floyd fought ODLH at 154 and that was two years ago. He could fight at 154 now surely.

Malignaggi doesn't belong in the ring with Floyd. Let's be real; dude lost a close fight against Juan Diaz.

I don't think Williams can get down to 147 so my choice would be Bradley!
