    With the 4th fight coming up and 2/3 more left in his career, how would you rate The last page of Mayweather's career and how do you see it finishing.

    1.R.Guerrero - #3WW at the time become mandatory by beating the 1&2 contenters for the WBC Title technically #10 P4P but most will disagree with that rating. Some have recently argued him as a possible HOFer for his work from FW-WW.

    2.C.Alvarez - #1JMW WBC/WBA unified Champ for lineal JMW Title young prime fighter coming off a close win over the #2 JMW Trout went on to beat the then #2 rated JMW Lara in another competitive fight. May very well go on to become Lineal MW Champ early 15" vs Cotto looked at as one if the future stars of the sport.

    3.M.Maidana - #4WW WBA WW Champ hyped after beating a string of WW contenders ending with him taking Broner's WW Title in a demolition, went on to give what some call Mayweather's toughest fight of his career proving his hype former 2 Division Champ.

    4.M.Maidana II - #4WW upcoming fight in a few weeks after a close competitive 1st encounter, some think it plays out as close as the 1st other think Mayweather comes out an dominates. Heading into the forth fight assuming Mayweather wins in a few weeks I'd rate it a solid B/B+ given circumstances and the network issue's most of his comp were coming off some of the biggest wins at there weight at the time.

    Now for the guessing how do you think his last 2/3 fights should playout for me thinking logically about highest gain/reward.

    5.M.Pacquiao - #2WW WBO Champ fight is too big not to happen with 2 fights left it will happen. If it does Pacman coming off wins over Bradley/Algeri* for the Undisputed WW Title* (WBC,WBA,IBF) probably stills ties or breaks record.

    6.M.Pacquiao II - Unless the 1st fight is a complete wipeout a rematch is almost guaranteed still too much $ to be made, could break PPV record if fight I is close depending on how he loss Pacman would still be a top 5 WW.

    If fight I is a wipeout I think the Brook/Khan winner gets the fight (most likely Brook) in a money fight possibly in the UK for Brooks IBF Title establishing a new True Undisputed WW Champ(WBC,WBA,WBO,IBF). I think Mayweather go's for 50-0 if he runs his contract unbeaten for the biggest money.

    7.C.Alvarez II - could say Cotto-Canelo winner but I think Canelo takes it handily would be for the Lineal MW Title don't think it would be a big surprise if Canelo beat Cotto/Quillin and another top 15 MW next year to bring all the hype for a GGG/Mayweather rematch.if he finished with those 3 bouts I'd move it to an A/A-

    He should fight Khan/Brook/Thurman, then move up to MW and fight for the lineal MW championship.

    Or, he could fight Danny Garcia. That fight could make a lot of money.

    If Danny does something big this winter he's in prime position to get the fight should the Pac fight breakdown. It looks like Khan-Brook are trying to fight next Apr not in Dec I doubt the winner fights Thurman. If he ends with Garcia then Brook-Khan winner I'd leave It at a B maybe lower it to B-. The Cotto-Canelo winner would be a underrated big win.

    If I'll judge this base on the results. B+ in my opinion, A- is a stretch. His first fight with Guerrero was a little bit boring in my opinion. I would like to quote Mike Tyson here, "Its like watching paint dry.". It could be a combination of Mayweather being just too good or Guerrero not belonging to that league. Good win against Canelo. What's pulling it down is the Maidana fight. He forced his opponent to wear a different pair of gloves in a fight where almost every boxing fans expected him to dominate but he did not. It could go as low as B- depending on the result of his rematch against Maidana.

    But judging it from the names of opponent he fought, that could be a B- to C+. He could have fought much more bigger names.

    I would give him a "C" up to this point. Canelo is the only fighter I gave a chance of making a somewhat competitive fight and given his footspeed, I didn't expect the fight to be that competitive.

    Fair enough considering timing of the fights to happen so far 3/4 of the fights are arguably the 2nd best fight that could be made in a given division Guerrero in May 13" Canelo in Sept 13", and Maidana this year could all arguably only topped by May-Pac. As far as names not to many of the newer fighters are as decorated as these 3 but boxing is all about perception.

    Guerrero wasn't great but it was acceptable as a first fight on the contract and as a build up to Canelo which was a good opponent (but the catchweight is a draw back somewhat). Maidana was decent but not a great pick and although he did well vs Mayweather, I'd prefer to see a fight vs. somebody else for the fourth fight because I don't think the Maidana rematch is all that appealing.

    Overall, I'd say the contract so far has been ok, not great. C+ kind of range, in my opinion.

    Mayweather could have fought Martinez instead of Guerrero. Martinez was fresh from a victory against Chavez Jr. and that fight could sell big time. The Canelo victory was a very good one in my opinion, but fighting Maidana twice when he could have Khan in the UK. Khan won the poll because its obviously what fans wanted to see. Not to mention the Pacquiao fight is waiting for him in years. Had he do that we could be watching Mayweather vs Pacquiao II instead of Mayweather vs Maidana II.

    :roll:

    Fu.ck outta' here with that shi.t

    Why the hell should a WW that started at 130 move up to MW???
    Floyd is too small for jr middle let alone middle.

    I don't recall people demanding Pernell to fight at MW just because he had an undefended title at 154.

    Pac hasn't been waiting on shi.t.

    Pactrash had a 5050 split right under his nose but ran off to fight the ALREADY signed Joshua Clottey.:deal

    Why didn't Manny fight Sergio or Canelo?????

    Why can't HE fight Khan???

    triple g isn't fighting Ward or Hopkins....so Why should Floyd move up AGAIN to fight a guy he doesn't need?

    Floyd has taken risks....time for lil gg to do the same...he's not learning anything beating on those stiffs at MW.

    Pac doesn't have permission from Arum to fight Mayweather...

    Bob doesn't want the fight...hence all the crazy excuses:

    "We need more time to build a temporary stadium"
    "honeslty,this fight should be in Dubai"
    "Floyd should clear up his legal problems first"
    "Manny's cut won't be healed in time"
