    Is Mayweather vs Bradley a good tune up for Floyd, I say tune up cause Bradley isn't a natural 147 fighter. Would it be something the fans are willing to pay for? Anyway Gary Shaw wants the fight, and I think if Money is coming back that would be a good fight, but a not to safe fight that can actually sell.


    Gary Shaw didn't even speak on Khan, so kick that fight to the side wouldn't be a problem.

    Better than Spaddy.

    Bradley doesn't have a shot in hell though.

    Floyd seems to be getting more 'tune ups' than a formula one car.

    Enough with the tune ups Floyd and fight Manny or Martinez.

    khan vs floyd is more likely, I think bradley has no chance whatsoever to beat mayweather.

    It would be a good fight in legacy terms for floyd and would be interesting to see but I doubt it happens because Bradley isn't a draw at all

    Floyd's retired. Let's talk about fighters who are active and actually want to fight...

    Floyd's trying to secure a fight as we speak

    Floyd is the number one in the sport and the second highest paid sportman in 2010.

    He is trying to secure a fight?????

    Yea, talking with promoters, fighters, etc, weighing his options.

    Trying to secure a fight.

    I've heard rumblings that he is close to plea deals for both upcoming trials and I'm guessing things will move quickly once they are finalized.

    who would you be happy with him fighting???

    For me it has to be a natural 147 , Maybe a Berto.

    My preference would be for him to wait for November and fight Pac without a tune up.

    For a tune up, Leon mentioned Collazo and that's a good one as he is a natural WW, a southpaw and is a tough *******. He's fighting next week and would be available for a July date with Mayweather.

    Berto is really the only fight out there for Mayweather and Pac if they don't fight each other. I'd be cool with Pac-Marquez III but Berto represents the biggest challenge for both.

    It's hard because any other southpaws out there in the weight range (Urango, Judah, Alexander, etc) are not fair fights.

    He's probably already read this thread.
