    According to a few sites these are the choice of opponents for Mayweather and a Mosley fight is being set up for September.

    Who would you like to see him face?

    I voted Cintron. If he faces any of the other 3 it's obvious that he won't get any credit for a victory. He's recently shown that he can handle the very best fighters out there from the lower weights (in defeating Marquez). We now need to be reminded that he can also take care of business against bigger fighters.

    Personally I'd rather see him in with Collazo, Foreman or Spinks at this stage (on the assumption that he isn't interested in a Williams fight).

    . . . or maybe Zaveck for the 147 IBF strap?

    Cintron, he's the only one on that list with the style/ size to give Mayweather a hard time.

    Should be Williams or Martinez would be a decent alternative.

    Mayweather won't go near either of those 2 guys. I doubt either could do 147 comfortably any more.

    To be honest that is a god awful list but probably the best we can hope for. Maywether loves his gimme fights. I think it will be Oaulie because Paulie brings a decent crowd and money and has no chance...the rest have no chance but few fans and Cintron has a mini mini mini punchers chance.


    If he can not get Pac he should step up and fight Williams.

    How about a Mayweather - Margarito comeback fight... surely that fight would sell itself.

    I'd rather pay to see that than any of the above.

    Thoughts? And no mentions of him 'turning down' $8mil to fight him previously.

    Bradley is the best of that bunch. Cintron is obviously not at a size diadvantage like Bradley but he dosen't have as much ability as Bradley.

    The cheat will fight on Pac's card if he gets licensed, he's with Arum.

    Cheers, didnt realise that.

    Although i think he should be banned for life for what he did, im also weirdly looking forward to see him box again as he's gonna instantly become public enemy #1, thus making him even more popular.

    Cory Spinks is a viable fight IMO.

    Of those guys, the only fight that would remotely interest me would be Bradley at 140. Since the fight would be at 147, even that isn't very appealing.

    The others are all terrible mis-matches. Cintron is big, has a decent jab and excellent power but I don't see him winning a round against Floyd.

    From the list I'd go with CIntron but they're all shitty choices tbh.
