"The Ghost" is a legitimate opponent for "Money"

Nah. I like Guerrero and all but this would be a waste of a PPV event.

 

would be nice to see Floyd with another KO victory(excellent finisher).

make it happen.

 

I couldn't agree more...Froid would be willing to die in the ring against Guerrero .

 

Canelo, Martinez (willing to come down to 154) even Broner would make for a worthy PPV matchup IMO. Guerrero is just too predictable, too dull for a dynamic guy like Mayweather.

 

The Ghost Kelly Pavlik is a bit big for Mayweather however being that there is a good chance Kelly will be spending the vast majority of his training getting pissed up, I think Money has a chance.

 

Mayweather destroys Guerrero!

 

not really. put guerrero in with tim bradley, that could be interesting

 

Floyd has two KO's in over 5 years and Guerrero has showed a decent chin.

This one might go the distance.

 

who wins?

 

Good post. Reads like an article which is i assume what you are going for. For completeness I'd expand on this paragraph a little if you want it to have a true article feel to it.

As for what I think:

The fun thing about the WW and JMW divisions right now is that they are pretty cleaned out and the young guys at them are not that well established. At 147 lbs there are many stars but few have faced and defeated very many other stars or top contenders. To give you an idea of how all show and no go 147 lb is right now Geurrero is definitely one of the more credible opponents and that's after only two wins in the division. Tim Bradley is probably the head of the line if you have to be honest with yourself. Bradley has faced and defeated far more world level opponents over then last two years then basically anyone else in contention. Okay his only two marks at WW are Abregu and Pac. And the pac win is very dubious. But dubious or not its still a win against the second best fighter in the division and we`ve all seen plenty of fighters move up in line despite contraversial wins. Overall I would say his showing against Pac (win lose or draw) showed more then Guerrero`s clear win over berto. Even though Guerrero`swas the more entertaining. That combined with his work at JrWW probably makes him the more worthy opponent IMO.

You can make an easy argument that so long as floyd is going to ignore a challenge from Martinez Guerrero should be next in line. He`s got a good body of work at the lower wts (not a great resume though). He has two solid back to back wins against top guys in the division. He is in his prime. And he has a variety of skills and ring smarts that would make him competitive against Mayweather.

Pacquiao obviously is the default number one. We all know why he disearves it but we all also know that he`s turned down the fight so many times its not worth getting into why he should take it.

Canelo is a good fighter and when you look at accomplishments of different champions at 154 lbs he actually is pretty much the most accomplished of them (not included Cotto whom just had his shot). But although he has looked impressive in his victories, wins against Mathew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes and Lopez aren't more impressive then wins over berto and aydin. His path to Mayweather runs through the Cotto-trout winner or the eventual Lara-Vanes winner. So he is definitely not front of the line.
