Who should be Mayweather's last opponent?

[punchoutsb]

Cotto gave him a really good fight in their fight and to top it off Miguel has the lineal championship which if he fought him and won it in an even clearer fashion than the first outing at 60 then it would definitely lend more to his legacy moving 30lbs up the scale.

118-110 is not a really good fight. Cotto had his moments, but they were brief. Everyone knows who the top middleweight is, and it's not Cotto.

I think Floyd should just stay at 147.

In terms of action it was a great fight and then you add in the amount of damage inflicted by both fighters on one another and you can see how the fight could be entertaining and worth watching.

Cotto made Floyd actually have to fight him because unlike Manny he was able to cut off the ring and force the exchanges, I'd rather see a rematch of these two especially at MW than a rematch with Pacquiao was mostly ineffective and did much of nothing.

[Evander]

Right now I doubt Floyd Mayweather has any future opponent in mind and playing it by ear.
He's in no rush and I doubt his contract isn't flexible.
I'd revisit this in another few months.
But if there is any front runners if Manny Pacquiao is injured in no particular order could be Keith Thurman, Amir Khan, Tim Bradley or Shawn Porter who reside at 147.
I doubt anyone North or South of Welterweight will get a shot were they to move up or down.

The fight wasn't close really. Saying he had more success than Pac also isn't really saying much.

Basically, Floyd is a welterweight. He should finish his career there. If he wants a 160 belt, he should fight the best guy at 160, at 160. No catchweights, no Cotto.

[crusader]

What's the worth of a lineal title if it isn't held by the best or most proven fighter at a weight, and the lineal title holder is clearly avoiding someone who destroyed their next opponent in three rounds? People shouldn't graft the significance of being a lineal champ in eras where the best fought the best onto holding a lineal title in today's era, where evasion is abundant and cherry-picking is the norm, especially for those with great leverage. Apparently Canelo, who has never campaigned at 160, is a strong possibility for Cotto's next opponent after Geale, so whether he fights Floyd again or not it seems like Cotto's next bout will probably be against someone who has done virtually nothing at MW

I wish people would stop worshipping titles, whether lineal, Ring, WBO, WBC, IBF, NBA, PBC, or one of the many others. Floyd beating Cotto at 160 isn't more impressive than him beating him again at 154, regardless of what they're fighting for.

Does everyone want to change their vote to Alvarez now after Alvarez beat the human punching bag Kirkland? lol.

[punchoutsb]

No lol

That's why there's still only one vote lol

September 2016 - Manny Pacquiao II "NO EXCUSES"





You heard it here first

I didn't see the fight as close nor do I say it was but anyone with eyes can clearly see that Cotto was much more highly effective than Manny, he cut the ring off and made Floyd go toe to toe for many parts of this bout, Packy was unable to do that because he lacks any real ring intellect on how to cut off the ring.

I think Floyd should finish his career at WW also but it's painfully obvious that his critics don't think his moving up 24lbs from his original fighting weight is enough and they won't be satisfied until he fights GGG despite the fact that no other WW is expected or asked to do that same task.

[Crease]

Nothing from Canelo but if he beats Cotto (again) he will gain a title at 160 thus moving up another weight class.

Floyd is vacating five World Titles, he is showing us that he isn't interested in title-collecting any longer. Floyd will take the fight that will make him the most money for his retirement... That's the long and short of it.

It may well be that Floyd will take the fight but I'm sure if he does it then it will have to be for a title, otherwise what would be the point of going to MW?? He's already proven he can beat Cotto, so what would he stand to gain from this fight if it isn't for a title/belt??

Money?? He can make a ton more facing Manny again or Khan.

[Badhusker]

Anyone but Khan. That sad sack doesn't deserve a big money fight. Look at his recent opponents....and he is stupid enough to recently say Algieri is a very dangerous opponent for him? He said Algieri recently had a big win, and will make you pay for making any mistakes. He touts him as a huge fight that will lead him to Mayweather? Omfg, what an idiot. He could have fought Brook, Thurman, Maidana, Bradley, Porter....someone that would be a solid argument for earning it.

I would rather see Paulie fight Mayweather than Khan....seriously.

[Bobbyptsd]

If Malinaggi, beats O'Connor(who I admittedly know nothing about) I wouldn't fall out of my chair if that was Floyd's farewell fight.

I'm not saying I think it will happen, but while we are busy throwing around the top tier names, there's a real possibility Floyd could end his career against a personable, known guy who has had a good career, but isn't too threatening.

[KBB]

I honestly do not feel that Khan deserves a shot at Floyd either but I think Floyd should take that for 2 reasons:

1. It is a big money fight
2. It should be a relatively easy fight with the possibility of a KO/TKO stoppage due to Amir's suspect chin.

I'd rather see him face Cotto though for the Lineal Title though he is not interested in titles at this moment but beating a legit MW is a great feather in his cap as he rides off into the sunset even though this is someone he has already beaten.

If he wants to beat a legit MW surly he has to fight Golovkin or do you really consider Cotto a legit MW. If he did fight and beat Golovkin it would be the biggest win of his career and truly one for the ages. The size difference would be massive though and I certainly wouldn't take the fight if I was in his shoes. The best combination of good money and low risk is Garcia imo.

To answer your question; yes I consider Cotto a legit MW.................don't believe me then just ask Sergio Martinez. It's been known for years that Miguel has struggled immensely to make 147 and even 154 which is why you don't see him breaking his neck to get back to that weight, so yes he has grown into being a full fledged MW just as Manny and Floyd has grown into being full fledged WWs.

If he did fight and beat Golovkin at 154 then all we would hear is how Floyd drained him down just as we had to hear with the Canelo fight and none of you would give him credit for the win just as is being done today with the Manny fight and the Canelo fight.

There's always an excuse whenever Floyd beats someone.

[david1963]

I'd like Mayweather's last opponent to be Ronda Rouse. There are a few technical obstacles to this event taking place, but nothing Bob Arum and Al Haymon couldn't fix.

[caldo2025]

Who gives a shiit? It's obviously going to be someone slow enough so Floyd can run from them all night and definitey won't be away from his home MGM judged by his little clan of lovers who would never let him lose so who cares. Can't wait until it's over and Floyd has to find relevancy outside the ring and he will fail.

BUTTHURT Much?? LOL

FLOYD WON!!!

[Butterbean]

Well, i dont think that many actually cares about this. Floyds nonfightingstyle, which he took to an unseen level against pac, was quite embarrasing for the sport really. Doing that, at an event like that, really hurt boxing. Dude should just quit now, instead of tarnising his career any furhter.
He could surprice and fight someone his own size , but i really doubt it.

All the HATE and BUTTHURTEDNESS is pathetic in this stupid post, it's about as dumb, retarded and as stupid as the person who wrote it.

Floyd has always been fighting bigger fighters than him.

It's called Boxing, maybe you're of the stupid Pac-fan variety that believes like Manny does (he should stand still so I can hit him).

The only one who got embarrassed is Manny and his stupid fans. Y'all thought that clown could beat Floyd all these years, that's why you are here crying now weeks into the aftermath.

I love reading all the hateful and crybaby commentary, I knew this would happen, nothing but excuses, sour grapes and Sore Loser spirit.

Way to go, Manny LOST!! Floyd WON, there's no amount of crying that will change that.

[Butterbean]

Floyd always fought bigger guys than himself.... You are wrong. Go check. Lets hope your boy mans up for once and fights ggg at either 154 or 160.
Running aint sweet science you know ?
