    We are expecting Floyd to do things that we arent expecting other fighters to do. People claim that they don't want to see Danny fight floyd cause he's too small but yet he entered the ring the same weight Floyd entered the ring last night. How is he too small? But yet Floyd only weighed in at 150.5 and people want him to fight guys who fight at 160lbs? I bet those guys enter the ring closer to 170 then they do at 160lbs. That's not fair bro. Like I said we are placing unrealistic expectations on Floyd that we don't place on any other fighter. But you posted Manny moved up in weight but I could have swore Floyd has moved up in weight as well. Why don't we ask Canelo to move up to 160 and fight GGG or Martinez. Why don't we expect or demand that those guys move up and fight the likes of Andre Ward? We all saw how much bigger and stronger Canelo was compared to Floyd asking him to fight against guys that are 6lbs heavier man whatever just to see if he can beat those guys. At some point he has to worry about his health. Like I said no one is expected to fight guys the size of the guys that people are asking Floyd to do. I'll Holla 5000

    If we want Floyd to keep fighting these bigger guys then why even have weight classes in the first damn place. I assumed weight classes are there for guys to fight against other fighters that are damn near the same weight? I'll Holla 5000

    Khan would do better than Canelo, as would Bradley. Bradley would take way less punishment for instance than he did vs. Provo.

    Luckily for these bums every fight from now on will be a 2-1 affair. 1 on 1 they don't stand a chance but when they team up with father time they can take Floyd. It's just a matter of time when their tag team partner decides to show up.

    Too many of these fighters look at Floyd not as a challenge a pinnacle they wanna reach by beating him, prove themselves and their life long dream of being the best at the thing they've been training their entire lives ,but rather as a big pay day.

    The good thing about fighting Floyd is that you don't have the pressure to win, you earn the biggest paycheck of your life, you won't end up in a comma, and even if you lose, your career will remain intact or in a better position because of exposure.

    What were the post-weigh in weights for the Marquez vs Floyd "fight". Yeah, that's what I thought. :shit:

    There really isn't anyone left......

    I no name guy like Trout would give him stylistical problem.....that fight won't happen...because it won't sell....

    Garcia/Matthysse not competitive...won't sell that well either...

    Khan not competitive but it will sell better....

    Broner? Mayweather is allowing that little motherfucker fricassee...he will eat him up soon enough...and when it makes more $$ sense.

    Bradley vs. Marquez winner would be decent.....if Bradley wasn't with TR and Marquez was still on the roids...and...not terrified of fighting Floyd/Pac again....

    Martinez catchweight....best/toughest fight that Floyd could make right now...since Martinez seem to have lose a few steps....at 154 should be a good fight.....

    Agreed. There aint nobody left.

    The only interesting fights are guys who fight @ 160+. If they signed the dotted line, Floyd will insist they come in light making the fight pointless.

    I suppose Garcia deserves a shot IF he wants one. I'd still like to see Floyd V Khan just to see how Floyd deals with the speed early on.

    Floyd would light Khan up like a Christmas tree. I have literally no interest in seeing Floyd demolish a guy who was turtled by Bredis Prescott.

    I am not sure. Floyd would win, but he'd have to run around after Khan for a bit. If Khan literally decided to run, he would go the distance, a la Haye with Wlad.

    You tell me?

    "Marquez said that he felt fine with the outcome of the Mayweather fight and that his struggles were magnified by the fact his opponent ignored the 144-pound weight limit."We knew going into the fight it would be a difficult task," Marquez said. "What made it even more difficult was the excess weight, approximately 15 pounds on the night of the fight, (Mayweather) had." http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jul/20/juan-manuel-marquez-looks-prove-he-still-has-plent/

    Approximately 15 pounds on fight night seems to be a very wrong estimate by Marquez, wouldn't you agree?

    Also, JMM was the guy looking for a payday. Floyd isn't in that position.

    Now that Marquez has finally got his training in order. Maybe a RE with Floyd?

    I voted Garcia because he WILL BE his next opponent , mark my words, but I still want to see him against Manny Pacquiao just for the heck of closing their careers saying they fought each other.

    he probably did....but since the threat of Pacquiao is no longer there..he didn't make a big deal about it...


    IF he didn't that would be more evidence that he was terrified of Pacquiao.....for whatever reason...

    Manny's window has passed man. I think from '07-'09 he had a genuine chance of victory, I truly believe that, but it's gone now.

    Manny at NO point had a chance of beating Floyd. The circa 09 version could have given Floyd a competitive fight for awhile, but Floyd would take over more, and by the later rounds he'd have been kicking Manny's ass all over the ring.

    I'd need to know more of the business aspect of all of these fighters before voting... unless it is a "who would you PREFER" type of thing

    Nah, the Manny that fought Floyd had a very legit chance. Great style against Floyd actually, kind of a cross between a pressure fighter and Judah. Incredible workrate, stamina, speed, power, and enough unpredictability to make his offense work against Floyd.

    Unless Floyd fights at Middleweight I dont see anyone giving Floyd much of a challenge at this point.

    Floyd vs. GGG Ain't Happening, Fellas:nono:...

    Floyd has 4 More Fights on his Showtime Contract, While HBO has a Death Grip on GGG, in Hopes of Matching him w/Andre Ward, Down the Line...

    Showtime WASN'T Shy about Pressuring Floyd Into a Marquee Fight, After the Guerrero Bout Sold LESS than Expected...Hopefully they DON'T Allow Floyd to Cherrypick a Gimme...

    REED's Always Been Mildly Interested in Floyd-Khan, Stylistically Speaking...Khan's Athleticism & Competitive Spirit Would Make it Somewhat Interesting Early...Also, w/Khan's LACK of Punch Resistance, we'd Pretty Much Be GUARANTEED a KO, Which is Obviously Rare in Floyd Fights...

    If Bradley Beats Marquez, that Wouldn't Be a Bad Option...Bradley Would still Have his "0" & Even Though he Wouldn't Beat Floyd, he'd Give an HONEST Effort...

    This is the PERFECT Time for Floyd to Target Sergio Martinez...He's Actually OLDER than Floyd & Has Looked Subpar in Consecutive Fights...He's Also Been Inactive & Would Be Completely SUBMISSIVE @ the Negotiating Table...If Floyd Wanted 95% of the Purse, a Catchweight of 150 AND a Blowjob from Martinez's Significant Other, Martinez Would Comply...Floyd Could Then Say he's Won World Titles from 130-160, Which just Might Be UNPRECEDENTED, if REED's Not Mistaken...

    Hopefully Garcia ISN'T Next...There's PLENTY of Intriguing Fights @ 140 for Garcia, but Can he RESIST the Temptation of the $$$$???...Then of Course, there's Always Manny Pac, ASSuming he Gets By Rios...Manny Would Basically have NO Chance of Winning, but the PPV Would STILL Do Big Numbers...

    In No Order, Khan, Bradley, Martinez or Pac Would All Suffice...Floyd-Garcia ONLY when Floyd is on the Last Fight of the Showtime Contract, Which would Be 2015...
