Who's next for Floyd Mayweather Jr?

Vote in the poll

EDIT: Fucks sakes, I forgot about GGG

 

I will when you add one.

If Floyd wants the sort of money he has been getting, why not challenge Golovkin. At 160. Or Martinez at 160.

 

I'd love to see him beat the absolute shit out of his poor impersonator

 

Bradley makes sense if he beats Marquez.

 

How? Bradley plain lost to Pacquaio and Provodnikov completely exposed him, and probably ruined him. His "Win" over Alexander was tainted by Alexander quitting. He's a basic 140lb fighter, who will, it seems, be getting a shot at Floyd {the 154lb champ} by beating a guy who Floyd beat, and whom everybody with a size and talent advantage should beat.

 

Then why fight Golovkin? The overhyped russian has not beaten anybody.

 

:: Are you serious? Around 15 years ago, I saw Ryan Rhodes utterly and tee-totally fucking annihilated by an average British fighter called Jason Matthews. Roberts would go on to get destroyed himself by a Hungarian midget.

Years and years later, bald and shot, Rhodes went to Mexico/America wherever and was comfortably negotiating the distance with Alvarez before the referee jumped in early and stopped it.

Kell Brook did a better job with Hatton than Alvarez.



Whoever GGG has beaten, he has beaten them in style. He's a proper, astute guy with a REAL size advantage, not some manufactured shit. Hell, I nearly plotzed when I saw that Floyd was TALLER than Alvarez.

Joel Julio was knocking guys left and right until he ran into a B level fighter in Quintana. It's nice knocking out the Macklins and Ishidas of the world, but it's not too nice when he faces a real threat. Let the kid face someone good first, then we can talk Floyd-Golovkin.

 

Lots of guys beat Shane Mosley over the distance. It's not so good when you are beating REAL OLD SHANE over the distance, and looking like somebody just soaked you in a vat of vaseline by the time it is all over.

 

I have no interest in seeing Floyd beat up Bradley. Canelo would beat up Bradley. Hell, faded Cotto would beat up Bradley.

Who hasn't received the memo yet that Bradley isn't very good?

 

We, the people, it seems.


I don't mind Bradley, for what he is, a 140lb work-a-day guy who has got a couple lucky breaks, but who also went on the road to win his championship originally. He's a relatively small {relative to Floyd} guy, with no big signature punch power, no real speed, no real angles, just a very steady average guy. He is good value for any fights at 140 with Khan, Garcia, that level of dude. It's all about, as somebody pointed out before, levels. At that level, I have no beef with Timmy La Testa. At a Floyd level, I have serious beef.

 

After what we saw last night from Danny, I'm pretty confident in saying that he beats Bradley. Danny would catch Bradley with that hook all night long.

I think Bradley has declined from the fighter he was circa-2009.

I mean, even THAT version has no chance against Floyd, just sayin, that he was quicker/sharper back then.

 

People have slept on Garcia, we get distracted by the moronic father and impute his palpable stupidity onto the son. It's not how it works. Garcia was outboxed by Khan for a couple rounds and that's enough for me to know he would get destroyed by Floyd. Floyd getting a dose of his own likker and being forced down to 140 would make it a very intersting fight but of course that won't happen. Khan, Garcia and Bradley would do well now to consider themselves and each other as their most likely rivals. Floyd by rights, for the money he is on, should be looking to MW, like Henry Armstrong did once, or like Mickey Walker did when he fought Max Schmelling.

 

Indeed. We've all slept on Garcia.

I can't believe that a few fights ago, we all thought that Brandon Rios would beat him down.

Turns out, if that fight happened, Garcia would beat the shit outta Rios.

 

The only fight for Floyd who would interest me would be Lara and there's no way they make it happen. Other than him, I don,t see too much threat from anyone.

 

If Garcia was a true ww, then I'd like the matchup. But right now, I simply feel he's too small. Still, he's probably the next best choice imo

 

I'm not sure I agree with that. In the build up to Garcia-Judah, I said

I stand by that; Garcia had worked Khan out and was starting to best him inside five minutes. You could see the end coming as long as you weren't listening to the typically moronic commentary who were spraying jism all over ringside at the sight of another boxbot 1-2 flurry.

MTF

 

There is no-one between 140-154 who has a cat in hell's chance of beating Floyd. It's competitive enough down there but at a level (or more) below what Mayweather brings. At 160 GGG could cause carnage I suppose.

MTF

 

This. I would love it. If not this, then Gaybox or Martinez.

Did Broner really say "I don't fight family" when asked about fighting Floyd? He really is a cretin of epic proportins. Cringeworthy. Are they even proper friends in real life?

 

He is a big 140 pounder with a good chin and good power. I don't think size has anything to do with it. He's not good enough to have a realistic chance of beating Floyd, and doesn't match up well stylistically. He is also a counter puncher really.

 

I think Floyd should push the boat out and fight GGG at middle

 

i still wanna see floyd manny. theres no doubt in my mind manny brings things to the table that floyd hasnt faced and im still compelled to see that fight.

i have no desire at all in seeing him fight anyone else below 154

 

while floyds style is horrible for anyone to matchup against, i still believe floyd is worried about mannys. looks at judahs success against mayweather, a fast lefty.

 

Winner of Bradley/JMM or Khan/Alexander.

 

Why in the world do people want Floyd fighting guys at fucking 160 when the dude can't even make 154lbs! That shit boggles my mind. Name another fighter that weighs in at a certain weight and then enters the ring at a lower weight. What the fuck is he doing running prior to his fight. At some point those dudes are just too big for him. Hell in all honesty Canelo was too big for Floyd. I mean I know we all want to see Floyd beat the fuck up but damn can someone his own size do it. Or are we placing expectations on Floyd that we don't expect no other fighter to do. Hell Why can't Canelo fight against GGG or Martinez? Why haven't we asked that Martinez move up and fight Andre Ward? But what's funny is people say that Danny Garcia is too small for Floyd who entered the ring last night at the same weight as Floyd but people want Floyd to fight guys that fight at 160lbs. That's some funny ass shit. I'll Holla 5000

 

What on earth are you talking about?

Nobody is DEMANDING that Floyd fights at 160 lbs. Floyd has no obligation of doing it. He already is fighting above his own weight class, if there is nobody who can challenge him there, it is not his problem.

The question is: who do we WANT TO see him fight. We want to see him fight middleweights, because IT WOULD BE NICE to see Floyd really challenged and how could he respond to a big power disadvantage. It would make for BETTER, MORE EXCITING FIGHTS.

Just the same way Manny Pacquiao has moved up in weight. We can't DEMAND him to fight welterweights, but it is interesting to see. There is no double standard here, just wrong interpretation of the situation

 

Same here. That would be my #1 matchup in boxing, I'd love to see it.

 

I voted Garcia but actually I'd like to see him WHUP Bradley

 

I agree with BDawg, but I disagree when he says we want to see him fucked up. I want Floyd to retire undefeated to piss off his detractors. If GGG wants to fight Floyd, go down in weight. GGG is nobody, Floyd is not expected to move up in weight (Yet again). He's at his ideal weight right now and if he puts on some more weight he can lose his speed and that will spell his doom.

 

I agree. Plus, he's hispanic and this is for the Cinco de Mayweather card.

Golovkin would beat Floyd clear. I think it would be like Tito vs Whitaker. However, Floyd is justified in not taking the fight since he's more than a full weight class smaller.
Weigh in at 150.5, weigh in at 150 night of fight? Extremely rare in boxing today.
