    So is he thinking about fighting Brook to actually be undisputed?? I know the WBO told him he wouldnt be champ but if he was to fight Brook and win then we all know hes really the first undisputed WW champ since Judah.

    I still think he fights Khan but why would Mayweather start changing his mind? one thing has got to be why give up my belts!! Weren't we all surprised when he said that? Even if your gonna retire then retire champ.

    What u think Floyd is thinking?

    I doubt he would fight Brook, he doesn't have a big enough name here. With that said I would like to see that fight. Maybe being undisputed is really the only thing he hasn't accomplished and wants to do so before calling it a day.

    Na he'd have to beat the WBO champ again as well, hopefully Bradley as Bradley would probably give him his hardest fight.

    Yea only thing he hasnt done and honstely its because fighters ducked him!! Corrales was IBF champ but they stripped him before the Mayweather fight. Fireatas and Casaymor were other 2 champs and said hell no to fighting Mayweather. 130 was his best chance

    Belts lost meaning around Tyson when Don King used them to his promotional advantage. They've been almost worthless since. Ring magazine, which doesn't have a belt, is the closest we get to real champions. Floyd should dump them for the good of boxing.

    technically yes but we all know if he was to fight Brook he truly would be Undisputed. No reason he shouldnt be WBO champ

    I see what you mean but he'd still have to fight and beat the WBO champ again. Conditional presumptions are not enough.

    I can see Mayweather fighting Brook or at least thinking about it seriously.

    I still do not see how you sell Mayweather Vs Khan, "The WW number 1 Vs the second best WW from the UK"

    Brook is a bigger fight, both undefeated, both world champions, both number 1 in their countries. U.S. vs UK.

    Khan brings in more money than Brook

    Khan would bring more $$$$ to the table and is the bigger name, he also taps into the Asian market.

    I can't see him fighting Brook. For one, he only beat Porter. Second, nobody cares about him in the USA. Khan is a bigger name and he doesn't draw big crowds here.
