Winner of Bradley/Marquez. That, or Garcia @ 140lbs or a catch weight. To be lineal 140, 147 & 154lbs concurrently would be some feat.
IF he decides to fight above 147 again then I say Erislandy Lara. @147lbs, Garcia is the only fight that can be made that would interest. (Danny was talking about moving up regardless)
I think he put Garcia on his undercard for a reason. That reason being, because he's going to fight him next.
I think Pac needs to look good in beating Rios and then have a 5th match with Marquez and beat him convincingly before the public will start demanding a showdown with Mayweather again. To me it's not all about who the "best" opponent out there is but which fighter has the particular skillset that might cause Mayweather problems. The best current guys would be Bradley(if he beats Marquez) and Garcia but they don't have the speed or footwork to do anything more then the likes of Canelo or Marquez couldn't do against Floyd. Even though he's not a P4P boxer i still think AMIR KHAN has the hand and footspeed to give Mayweather problems for as long as the fight lasted so he would be my number 1 pick for Floyd's next opponent.
Spadafora at last! Then Cesar Rene Cuenca and finally Chris John with a 137lb catchweigjt to round out the "forty-odd-and-0" trifecta.
its Cinco de Mayo weekend so i go Angulo, Espinoza said Floyds matches are now appreciation matches now because no one can beat Floyd, just enjoy the ride while PBF Money is still around
Why? Mayweather beat the one 'A' side fighter in Canelo so badly there's not even any chance of a rematch down the line. Do you honestly think another Mayweather fight is going to sell in excess of 1 million PPV's against the likes of Garcia, Khan and Alexander? not a chance and those fights will be lucky to even break 1 million. PAC is the only opponent left for Floyd that would sell over 1.5 million PPV's as long as Pac looks good agaonst Rios and maybe even beat Marquez in a 5th fight.
He is coming off arguably 3 defeats in a row. (2 on paper) You are right it makes business sense, But then again it made cent$ back when it counted & they didn't make it. Now both are not only affiliated w/rival promotions but add rival premium channels to boot. I'm being realistic about this fight.
