    . Is that the plan? May 4th, and then possibly September 14th?


    FM: I mean, I can't wait. As of right now, I know May 4th is a date,

    . That's what the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, said. At this particular time, everything is still up in the air.

    He has never said he was looking to fight 3 times. Plus you he was in the bing for a little while so cant be mad at him for not fighting twice last year.

    But why would you only talk about welterweights when that wasn't the point I was making?

    Every guy I listed would be a tougher fight, imo, than rob. That was my point.

    I think there are alot of good fights but most are actually at 154lbs. Like you said not many at his natural weight class.

    Even those at 154lbs are gonna be hard to make as they aren't very credible, so Floyd would get s.hitted on if he made them.

    For instance: Lara looked unimpressive against Vanes, Kirkland isn't even fighting anymore even though it would be an interesting match up, K9 is just crude and stands no chance just making a point that the opportunities are pretty thin.

    Like I said I wasn't trying to argue just making a point.

    The supposed jinx is more likely to hit the Can if he fights Trout.

    That's fair enough I just don't think your point related to my post.

    Probably because Floyd is a welterweight??

    Manny fights at "154" (150) once and nobody even questions his inability to fight at 154. Floyd fights at "154" twice and both times he weighs under the weight limit for the weigh-in and on fight night. Yet Floyd is expected to routinely face bigger guys.

    Silly *******s :nut

    If Canelo beat Trout, Floyd is retiring....trust me.
