    True...I think he should ignore the PED situation. Still...no athlete wants to go against another who has an unfair advantage...espcially in a one on one sport.

    I think Mayweather will look to fight Amir Khan probably. He wants to fight in the UK and its an easy pay day for him.

    Don't get me wrong, Floyd looked good against Victor, but I don't think he wants any of Pacquiao, unless he ABSOLUTELY has nowhere else to go, which at the moment he still has some options. They're admittedly limited. But still options.

    I'm guessing he'll face Khan next May or something in Wembley.

    Khan would be a terrible decision for Floyd.

    I say winner of Cotto-Margarito due to it being an unbelievably easy fight for Floyd, regardless of who it is as well as the fact that he'll get some credit for it from his haters (his fans wouldn't give him any credit though as they know that those two chumps are not in his class to begin with).

    If not that then take a chance with Martinez.

    why is khan a terrible decision? youre completely transparent. you've already started your argument as to why floyd beating khan was an "amazing win".

    the cold simple truth is khan stands ZERO chance again mayweather. absolutely no chance. as big a chance as ortiz did. a win over a china chin predictable dipshit is not at all impressive.

    its another overhyped bum on the record. floyd should fight pac or no one.

    Martinez would be a huge risk for Floyd and if he took that fight, he deserves MAJOR props. But I don't see Floyd going there.

    Cotto-Margarito winner, Bradley, Khan, or Berto I could see him taking on. Maybe even Canelo Alvarez.

    I just don't honestly believe that he really wants to fight Pacquiao. He's really let himself and his fans down by not taking that fight.

    Khan is low risk, so Floyd will continue in his money-grubbing, protect the "0" ways and probably face him next.

    Mayweather is a boxing Einstein, Khan is Forrest Gump. What the hell is Khan gonna do once Floyd makes the inevitable adjustments to his speed a couple of rounds in? I give Khan roughly the same chance as I gave Ortiz.

    Please do not order that crap if it happens before a manny fight.

    Sly you tricked me, I admit it. As transparent as you are, I thought by calling Khan "medium risk" you somehow thought he matched up well with Floyd, but no, you're anticipating that fight and already setting the scene to maximise Floyd's credit :lol:

    Actually I see Khan as medium risk. Whatever else we think of Khan the fact is he's FAST, young hungry and has decent pop. Floyd is better, but Khan is no easy touch. It's a no-win fight because Khan was KTFO in just one round in recent memory. So why take the fight?

    I'd quite like to see him dissect Alvarez so we aren't inflicted with this horrific con-hype job much longer.

    Floyd needs to fight the only fight that matters. We all know what that is.

    The whole Roach/Mayweather angle would be fun. They should have it in the UK, it'd be huge.

    It doesn't matter how "young" or how "hungry" Khan is.

    Floyd has already beaten better fighters than him and I don't see what Khan has for Mayweather besides size and some speed. He's a robot and has limited skills and it wouldn't take Floyd more than 3 rounds to figure him out and then destroy him.

    Floyd wants to fight in the UK and it would be a nice piece of business for him to go there and take on one of their guys in Wembley stadium.

    I personally myself have NO INTEREST in that fight but I think there is a very good chance it happens next.

    The fight to make is Pacquaio. The WORLD knows it. That is the only MEANINGFUL fight for both FIGHTERs.

    Mayweather's mind is made up and not taking in new information. If there is any new development in negotiations for the biggest fight in years, he'll deny it and hide behind his position "just take the test" regardless of what's being declared.

    He doesn't want to foght Pacquaio no way no how. A fight he'll be favored and can win. He is simply PETRIFIED.

    Pac will duck him more, not take a drug test that anyone else would take

    i think eventually (next year) Pac will give in , take the test and the fight will happen

    then Floyd will stop him in brutal fashion

    i just hope Marzuez doesn't beat him next month

    That's my fear. I can see Marquez beating him.


    I heard through the grapevine that Juan Manuel has upped his urine intake for this one....

    Team Pacquiao will demand his blood be checked for normal urine levels.
