According to the scene and the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer, it has been reported that former p4p #1 PBF has said that he has a hit list of fighters that he wants to face and beat in the ring. These include Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and rising star Victor Ortiz. So the question is, is this a hit list or just some wish list that will have the public thinking he is back to be the best? Vote and comment.
I think it is a hit list he can accomplish. If he fools everyone and beats Marquez and Pac and then retires again, then I will be another poster that will give up on him.
Hit lists don't mean anything. Let's just just see some of these fights happen. JMM is up in July, let's see him vs. Pac in Nov. or Dec.
he's one intelligent ****er if he really did say Victor Ortiz... as Victor Ortiz is going to be the biggest star in America (and probably Mexico) with his charm, good looks & aggressive style. Only Khan will surpass him world-wide imo. And I can see Freddie Roach trying to get Mayweather to fight Khan in the UK. Wembley Stadium, sold-out...! Maybe 3-5 years down the line??? (Floyd did recently say he wants to fight in the UK!... but I think he's gonna try and entice Ricky back... just like he will try to entice Oscar.... to try & break more records. However, after the kinda **** he said about having broken Hatton & all that... + given the way Rick lost to Pacman... I think it's impossible for that fight to even be considered ever again... as things stand)
Wish list, hes just talking out of his ass. If he wanted to fight Miguel Cotto or anyone else he would have done it a long time ago. Lets look at this "list" Manny Pacquiao - The man in Boxing, small man, big money fight and should he win he would re-establish himself as P4P #1. Need I say more? Shane Mosley - WBA Super Champ, beat an old guy get a belt. I call this a "shut the fans up" match, he beats Mosley and no one can say he didn't fight a Welterweight. Miguel Cotto - I have the feeling that hes banking on Cotto to lose against Clottey and thats why he broght up his name. Victor Ortiz - Why?
**** - I'll be happy if he fights 2 of the 4 - but can't see him fighting them all. I would be great if he does.
There we go............everyone says Floyd should fight Pac, Mosley, and Cotto, he hints that he wants to fight all of them, and there is already a turd on the board trying to discredit all the names already:-(
hmm says... maybe a hype list. Too many "ifs" and stuff that will throw the list out of whack. Hence, it's potential.
Its only because I know he won't, Pacquiao I can understand because he is now "the man". But if he really wanted to fight Cotto or Mosley he would have done it a while ago. Mayweather's just trying to get people to talk but I have little doubt in my mind that none of these matches will happen. But hey who knows, maybe during his "retirement" he got his balls back...
Shane has the best chance. Only because he is just so damn rough. But he is probably a step too slw for May. Cotto gets potshotted and abused on the way to a late stoppage, much like Hatton. Ortiz gets raped.
