    ao Bradleys "win" over Pac doesnt mean much, but we are supposed to believe Guerreros "interim title and fighter of the year " means a damn thing?
    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I'm still at a loss for who, specifically, Floyd is ducking. He can either fight Ghost or Canelo, realistically. Those are his only options.

    Trout is a huge 154 pounder and has very little marketing capabilities. The fight won't happen.

    Bradley = TR. The fight won't happen.

    Pac = TR. The fight won't happen.

    JMM 2 would be a stinker and I hope to God Floyd doesn't fight JMM again. JMM 2 is the only fight I would not buy of Floyds


    Ghost/Alvarez have huge fan base and are coming off successive impressive performances. They are close in weight and size to Floyd. Most importantly, they are both Mexican, marketable, and GB.

    It's unanimously accepted that Pac beat Bradley.

    It's also unanimous that Ghost moved up 2 weight classes in a very short period of time and beat an undefeated Aydin and destroyed a strong, tough Berto. Ghost surpassed expectations in both of those fights.

    I'm not saying he's a great matchup for Floyd, but he's certainly more credible than Bradley would be. Bradley's greatest achievement yet is being the guy that won vs Pac despite actually losing :rofl

    youre a ****ing moron

    Trout is somehow "too big" even though floyd holds a position the last year as junior middleweight as well as holding 1 of the 4 titles and ranked #1 in trouts division....but oh wait...Trout is "too big". Does floyds balls only allow him to fight "small junior middles"? :rofl ****ing LAME. as lame as Trout being any less "marketable" than Guerrero. PLEASE!! nuthugging at its finest.
    Guerrero has done **** at 147, he had 2 fights, one against Aydin who was undefeated and having beaten NO ONE. and he stunk out the joint with his mauling of berto. no one wantes to see this cherry picking garbage fight but fan boys like you who know RG has zero chance.

    one way or another he finds a way to not fight the best. why cant the shitty fighters fight for top rank so floyd has a reason to not fight them too?

    trout is 5'9" and probably rehydrates to 165. how is that huge?

    funny how trout was not huge until he beat cotto.

    no way around it, Mayweather's still small for Super Welter .. consider he's only fought their 2x

    and compare Trout at 5'9 165 with a 72 inch reach

    to a 5'8 Mayweather who rehydrates to 150-151 give or take a lb .. maybe even lighter

    weight's and frames aside I think it's pretty obvious: Trout's the natural Junior Middle, where Mayweather only occasionally fought north of Welterweight

    And Trout's always been a Natural Junior Middle/Super Welter .. beating Cotto has nada to do with it

    guerrero/berto was an awesome fight. how can you say otherwise? other than pac/jmm, it is the fight of the year(the shots he took from a proven 147 puncher like berto shows that he is a legit ww regardless of his body of work prior).

    rg will probably be a +300.

    that is far better than canelos "best opponent" who was kermit cintron who went off at a +800.

    agreed. and thats pretty much the general consensus among knowledgeable people in the sport.

    floyd/canleo is a much better fight even though rg is going to be a much bigger test than people give him credit for.

    im not going to search for the link but floyd does not rehydrate. he comes in with a 10-15 pound disadvantage come fight night not to mention his advanced age.

    love him or hate him you have to give mayweather props for that. what he is essentially doing is akin to sergio fighting ward or froch when he fights at 154.

    youre either a super welterweight or not. this is splitting hairs or what size each super welterweight is. bottom line floyd is a cherry picker.

    well then given Floyd's career, and having only 2 fight at Super Welter I'd say he's also a Welterweight ..don't forget Mayweather is also a belt holder at Welterweight

    and splitting hairs aside, there's a reason Mayweather's considered small for the division

    you're comparing him to guys like Canelo and Trout who are both 5'9, considerably bigger, and have fought a bulk of their careers above 147

    **Just because Floyd goes up for the occasional fight at Junior Middle doesn't make him a Jr. Middleweight .. if he's up that high, it's the same as Cotto .. blown up Welterweight.

    The hate Mayweather gets is too much.

    Appreciate him, he's close to retiring. Whoever he fights to me as long as he's fighting is a bonus. I have no qualms at all with either Guerrero/Alvarez both have proven they deserve a shot. It'd be nice though if he topped it off with a Martinez win at Middleweight, that would be un-Mayweather like, but if he pulls it off imagine the credit he would get.
