    As expected, the PBF-JMM fight turned out exactly as we all thought it would and the outcome and manner of the victory was no real suprise. The general are all bitching about the performance right now but I really enjoyed watching PBF showcase his skills again albeit beating up on my fave fighter:-(.

    So, what did you think of the performances and also what's next, in your opinion, for both fighters? Personally, I'd like to see JMM go back to 135 and dominate once again- it would be a shame if he (and us fans) never gets Pacquiao III now, though:conf. I'd also like to see PBF fight Mosley and then take on the winner of Cotto-Pacquiao. Maybe a bit outlandish but it's what I'd like to happen.

    What do you think?:good

    (There have been plenty of comments on Sky's performance again so no need to state the obvious again! Also, I thought Kellerman's interview was brilliant viewing and, because of that, he should stay on HBO, IMO!)

    Floyd vs Mosley :deal

    Marquez should go back down to 135 as you say, or fight Hatton at 140 - get another big pay-day for himself, which is what he deserves :good

    Floyd to go for Mosely. Pacquiao after that.

    Sky to have a complete reshuffle and HBO to **** off Kellerman.

    Floyd to fight mosely then pac/cotto winner

    Marquez back down to lightweight to finish cleaning out the division ( Valero, Kahn maybe) Then if things unfold well Pac III at LWW.

    capital punishment to be reinstated to deal with the Sky crew

    Floyd to fight Mosley then Cotto

    Think Marquez will face off with Katsidis next, what a bloodbath that would be, Mayweather-Gatti all over again then we'll see what happens after that.

    Floyd to take on a genuine welterweight - so either Cotto or Mosley. I wouldn't complain at Williams but that will never ever happen.

    If not, I want the Pacqaio fight next. JMM needs to move down to LW or retire.

    I thought Floyd was just too big for him although that was the genreal opinion before the fight. To be honest I wasn't that impressed - I expected Floyd to stop Marquez but he couldn't land more than one punch at a time. He seemed to knock him down by accident.

    Mayweather is very careful in who he picks to fight. I'm not so sure he will fight Mosley next although it's certainly more likely than Pacquiao.

    As for the broadcast, I'm usually a fan of Jonny Nelson but he was doing my head in last night. Before the fight he referred to Floyd as the world's number 1 pound for pound then after the fight said that Floyd had just beaten the P4P number 1. I get the feeling that in a couple of months when it's Pac Vs Cotto he'll say Pacquiao is P4P #1.

    Nelson is crazy. Very amusing, but crazy. Nothing he says makes much sense - he's like Eubank for that at times.

    I want Pac-Mayweather straight after Cotto - Pacquiao, I want the fight sooner than later even though I like Mosley, having to wait potentially another year for this fight does not fill me with excitement.

    As for the JMM/PBF fight, I really enjoyed it and it was the first time I've seen a fight in HD (we recently got Sky+ HD), I don't give a flying **** about the interviewers being "rude", "bias", from Watt to Kellerman, I enjoyed a great boxing display from Floyd and just as Andy Gray in football, I've learnt to filter out the ****.

    Now that the dust has settled.....I feel a bit naive for thinking weight wasn't going to be that important, and it was going to be a competitive fight....

    "It's a Welterweight vs. a Lightweight" - just kept running through my head when I was watching the fight.

    I think Pac will lose to Cotto, and so a rubber match with JMM is on the cards (which is the fight I really want to see), which sets up Cotto-Mayweather nicely, and obviously Mayweather-Mosley could well happen (Cotto has more options than Mosley at this stage).

    It wouldn't surprise me if FMJ decided to re-match Hatton or DLH though :lol:
