In what order and why? I think the next 4 fights will be against Khan, Pac, Garcia and Sergio in that order. 1) Khan @ 147 should be next because the fight could be in the UK and in a huge stadium. He will clearly out beat Khan so there only be a slim chance of it being a typical British robbery 2) Pac @147 after he beats Rios and another fighter it will spark interest in another fight. I think May is to soon for Pacs brand to be rebuilt but by sept . . . the star could be aligned 3) Garcia, @147 He is the only clear opp who could build a base and be credible . . . but he has to keep winning 4) Serg @154 . . . end it on a high note. Serg would be the biggest challenge and hopefully be fully healed from the series of injuries he has had as of late. you could switch 1&2 with 3&4 . . . first, Garcia next who is coming off of a series of big wins. Second, serg before he gets to old and loses cred. third Khan, Hoping that he doesn't lose badly and earns the fight by fight Alexander, bradley or JMM . finally ending with Pac (who hopefully fully healed himself physically, mentally and brand wise) for the final mega fight. I do not see many other options out there that could be credible or marketable or realistic (promotion/networks .. . yes I know Pac and Serg are HBO but they could be in the position to move in the next couple of years. who are your picks and why?
Pac @ 147 (Normally I would say this is not possible. But Mayweather is bigger then ever, and with the type of money that's in this fight, sometimes it makes the impossible possible. If Pac looks great against Rios, this would still be the biggest fight ever believe it or not. Meanwhile, Broner and Garcia fight on their undercard) Bradley @ 147 If Bradley beats JMM (which is a big If), this fight would make sense and by then I think it does decent numbers. It would also be a fight that Bradley straight up earned. Garcia @ 140 (Assuming he beats Broner, would be a good fight as Garcia will then have been on two of Mays undercards, and they can build up the Broner win for some drama as Broner and May are friends) Martinez @ 157 (Again, the type of money that Mayweather has around him sometimes makes the impossible possible.) Mayweather ending his career fighting for the middleweight championship of the world. ------------------------------ Imo that's how I would like to see things go. No chance of each of those happening but Id wager the Garcia fight is a lock for one of his next four. The problem is of course the rivalry between HBO, SHO, GBP, and TR. BUT, lets not forget that when the money was big enough, that HBO and SHO have worked together before (Lewis Tyson) and so maybe, juuuuust maybe, the stars can align here too. however, probably wont happen even once lol... and reality is we will get majority of subpar fights due to the opponents available.
yeah a middleweight would do the trick. Why's GGG ducking Kovalev? and Floyd would beat the **** out of a 0-0 Featherweight. He'd also put Pacquiao back in a coma and Bradley does nothing better than Floyd except volume punching
I hope things clear up over time to make these fights better. There isn't anything out there for him. I want Garcia next, I like the idea of Lara or whoever else establishes themselves as the next best guy at 154, and I also hope Bradley's Top Rank contract can run out before Mayweather's does so that too becomes a doable and significant fight.
GGG ducking Kovalev? Why? When were they supposed to fight against each other? GGG fights from 154 - 168 .. Kovalev is above, Floyd fights in 154 .. make it happen .. GGG says the fight is impossible, with a smile on his face and blinking eye. It didn't mean, impossible for Golovkin. Anyway, about Kovalev .. they had a sparring. Kovalev claims, GGG hits like a sledgehammer but I never heard of a fight between them. Any sources??
I thought about Bradley and Lara but realistically this is a boxing and business decision and neither guy has a following. I would like to see them grow a huge fan base overnight
if that is your only criteria why not say two fighters that have the best shot .. . Ward and Bhop. as for your list Lomo . . . hahaha you might as well have said rigo. Pac . . . I like Pac but he will lose but it will be a big event and a good fight. GGG . . . I thought about him but he hasn't fought anyone of note . . . would be a good fight Bradley could be interesting but no one around 147 can touch floyd
its hard to predict this kinda stuff. by the time his 3rd and 4rth fight comes along there could be a few upsets and will shuffle things up. if it were up to me i would do it sumthing like this. devon alexander danny garcia amir khan keith thurman
