    I don't mind seeing either.
     
  2. Final one

    Mayweather vs Alexander

    Or

    Mayweather vs Golovkin



    And thanks for answering, at least you are not afraid to say what you actually think.

    Both again. The chance of Floyd fighting Golovkin is low. We're talking about a fighter who haven't even reach his peak size against a fighter who is already fought outside of his peak size of 154/close to retirement. Plus Golovkin is unknown.
     

  4. Who cares if it is low, it is the fight I want to see and the politics of the matter do not concern me as a fan.

    And wouldn't you agree the Golovkin fight is the most difficult one to predict?

    Because Golovkin hasn't done ****! Is that simple enough? :-(

    The actual people buying the PPV's would rather see Canelo/Mayweather, Mayweather/Cotto 2, Mayweather/Pac, or even, and that is a stretch, Mayweather/Martinez.

    A Mayweather/GGG is not even PPV worthy and the actual people behind the scence (yes, like the Casinos, PPV, TV, etc.) know damn well that fight will sell for ****! Maybe you and few others who actually know who GGG is want to see GGG/Mayweather but the rest of the people (

    which make for the millions of viewers) would rather see Pac/Canelo/Cotto, **** even that guy that "beat" Pac....whats his name....thats right Bradley, and even that Argentinian who just fought Chavez Jr....whats his name...:huh....thats right....Martinez way before they want to see a guy that just fought on HBO, whom I believe only the hard core fans saw him debut.

    I wouldn't bet heavy on a fight like that. Either Floyd by Pts, or Golovkin by KO. Same as Martinez.

    Hardcore fans know GGG but being able to generate massive amount of money in a fight require the support of causal fans and the ex boxing fans that still scream out mike tyson when you talk boxing to them.
     
  7. I don't disagree with that.

    But Golovkin is much more worthy than Bertoid, Guerrero, or Alexander.

    Cotto rematch, not sold on it myself, the first fight was 4 years late, and unless Cotto looks stellar against Trout it should not happen.

    Pacquiao should be first choice then, Martinez, more people want Canelo, I would prefer Golovkin.

    Don't want Alexander, Guerrero, Bertoid.
     
  8. Whether the fight is financial viable is a different matter, I'm only talking about what I want to see.

    And everybody should speak like fans not promoters and talk about what they want to see rather than runner the numbers.

    I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Canelo. I think he have a good chance for an upset and he will sell.

    Actually i wouldn't mind seeing Floyd beat up on Khan or fight Danny Garcia.
     
  12. If Floyd is really 135lbs, he should fight Gamboa

    Honestly, I wouldn't want to see Floyd fight Khan, Garcia, Berto, Guerrero or anybody on that level.

    All those fights are foregone conclusions. Some wouldn't even be competitive.

    Garcia went life and death with Morales. Khan got demolished on more than one occasion, and went life and death with Maidana.

    Berto and Guerrero just aren't on his level. None of them are.

    The only fights I think are worthy of PPV are Pacquaio, Canelo, Martinez, and at the lower end, Bradley.

    Would I pay for a GGG fight. Of course, but it would be sadistic putting Mayweather in with GGG.

    It may just be me, but I think Floyd's done. I think he can/could still fight but I don't think he will.
