    People keep bashing the guerrero fight saying it was a bad opponent but no one has provided an alternative name as to who he could've fought.

    Bradley, perhaps Martinez at 154. Not saying that they would fair any better but at least those two guys can box. Guerrero looked like **** Saturday night.

    Is this over his whole career or specifically the Guerrero fight? I wasn't a hater of the fight, and to be honest there just aren't a lot of options from the GB stable that re much better. Alexander? Khan? Garcia? Matthyse? none of them are proven enough to be good options. the only fight which I find compelling is one with Broner in maybe 2 years.

    I preferred the Alexander fight but that doesnt mean it would have been a different result

    Bradley
    Pacman dont care what anyone says its floyd that did the avoiding here
    Cotto before he was in wars and at 147
    Hatton at 140
    DLH way before he eventually fought him
    Marquez after marquez had adjusted to the weight
    Margarito prime
    Mosley prime

    You see a pattern here ? it's not so much who he fights (well it is that too) but WHEN he fights them and under WHICH circumstances (catchweights)

    Pacman has done the same this isn't about floyd vs pac its about fighting the best at their best.
     
  6. Bradley, and all of the fighters that have more power and speed than Guerrero. I rather see Marquez again the shitty Guerrero

    Kell Brook
    Marcos Rene Maidana
    Adrien Broner
    Manny Pacquiao

    It was mosley who didn't want that fight until it happen so not floyds fault, also he'd just destroyed margarito. do you really think hatton at 140 would of been any different, if anything floyds better at 140 because his powers a little better. Margaritos primes was him cheating so thats silly. Cotto was with arum, he left floyd fought him. If manny had of left arum the fight would of happened. Bradleys with arum, it won't happen.
    I also don't agree on the catchweight thing.. as far as i recall he's only fought marquez at one (could be wrong). Marquez is now a welter, when asked he wants none of floyd, he knows the weight was no issue to the result. I don;t understand when people moan saying well so n so had to move in weight bla bla... going down is an issue, up not so much when it's half a stone etc... i mean back in halgers day you wanted to fight him you had to go to his weight.. simple as

    I guess I should'v been more specific, I was talking about in place of Guerrero, but I'll entertain the rest of the posts as well.

    Your joking right. All these mofos are from 140. Floyd would've been crucifed, and accused of cherrypicking fighters from a lower divisions. The only legit HOF, ATG figher in this list is Marquez whom Floyd already schooled and has indicated that he wants no part of a rematch.

    He's a titleholder at 154.

    A super champion in fact.

    Why would you limit his selection at 147? :blood

    The best logical opponent for him is Canelo at 154.
     
  13. He could have fought Bradley a bunch of times but cherry picker Floyd doesn't want to face a boxer with that speed, same as the reason running from PAC all this years

    Bradley would be but he fights for tr so no

    JMM was already 12-0 by mayweather so no point

    Alexander is a better fighter, but more boring so maybe

    kell brook is less known in the US than Guerrero but better so maybe

    Maidand, the guy who lost to khan... I guess yea he would be better (I'm serious)

    Broner, for real he has never fought at 147 and you want him to fight one of if not the best in his first go around... yea ok

    Manny. Well he just got ktfo and needs a break. 5 months isnt enough time after a ko like that. Not to mention top rank
     
  15. Mathysse or GGG would be nice both could shut that mouth with one shot
