Ellerbe says Floyd wants to stay active and might finish at 160

Guerrero
Canelo

seem to be the next 2 after that I think he will take on the linear 140 champion ATM its Garcia but if Khan and him rematch in the fall I can see Floyd taking the winner on in Spring 14.

Nash is usually one of the smallest dudes around.

He's even got an inch on Kelly Pavlik! That somehow just seems wrong.

 

Yeah, don't see him at 160 any other way.

 

I wonder if age will Really catch up to him or if his defense Really makes him last longer in the sport

 

He'd make 10-12 if he can be a champion at 160. Fact.

He's 20-25 now. Beating Pac/Canelo/Ghost/Alexander would put him 15-20.

Pacs around 40

 

I wouldn't be shocked if he went to 160 in a couple years should a "weak" titlist with average power emerge. And unlike most here who if it's not the fight they want, than it is treated as a No Contest, I would value it for what it's worth, which depends who and when it would be.

 

So that's what I would look like standing next to Nash, huh?

 

Health would come first Ellerbe.

 

I think ai786 its close with his prediction now that I think more about i see Mayweather going on a run to end his career taking out if not the best the "#1" rated fighters from 140-160. Mayweather's stated on many occasions that he would like to end his career going for a title a middleweight.
Some are gonna laugh and say the usual Mayweather's scared of a challenge but being honest he's already tried it once with his first "retirement" taking out baldomir Lineal @ WW, de la hoya JMW Champ, and hatton Lineal @ JWW, de la hoya wasn't officially #1 but considering who else was champ's at the time I don't see how you can make a big case for anyone else.
Thinking about it more the first 4 fights are probably set in stone
May 4: vs Guerrero WBC WW title Sept: vs Alvarez JMW Unification bout(think he beats trout on may 4th) May 2014: vs Garcia Lineal JWW champ @147(hope Matthysse beats him and takes his spot though) Sept 2014: vs Bradley WW Unification Bout(regardless of pacquiao fight he beats 2-10 at WW and I think he's willing to force this fight ala alvarez-trout).
The final two are harder to track 3 years is a long time and things could change quickly
but giving it my best guess if these guy's are as legit as there hyped to be considering the competition they could fight in the next 2-3 years I'd say
May 2015: Alvarez II Lineal JMW title (if he can make the first fight some what respectable he could get enough wins with the comp available to make a rematch even bigger)
Sept 2015: vs Glovokin Lineal MW title (give him a good shot at dethroning Martinez due to age in the immediate future)
All these fights are extremely possible, all are very winnable, all are champs and Mayweather would be the favorite going into every bout, which is what basically everybody feel's is the criteria Mayweather look's for in an opponent.

 

I've been saying for a while that he needs to fight at 160 at some point.

 

I don't agree with what your saying about Martinez. Dude is an ageless wonder ala Bernard Hopkins. The guy is just healthy and in shape. If physical therapy does an amazing job on his knee, he should be okay.

 

if he went to 160 it would have to be the perfect opponent
Martinez, GGG, Quillin all stop him

 

Hes a 147lber at the moment. He'd look like a starved child at 140 at this point in his career, he has filled into 147 a long time ago. He was his best in his prime between 130-140 no doubt, but hes been a "real" 147lber for a long ass time now.
