    I'd be truly interested in seeing JMM-Floyd because it's the retired P4P #1 against a guy whose at worst the P4P #3. He's also showing power above 130 that we never saw before.

    Not only that but I refuse to watch Stinks dance to the ring again.

    That doesn't have much to do with his point. Spinks' style is a bad night for anybody and he stretches the fight all 12 rounds. You can never count out the judges in a Stinks/Don King fight.

    Maybe,but it's still a chance for the other guy to win and it's not because Mayweather is unbeaten that he win you know.....
    It would be a better fight than this joke wit Marquez.

    Id rather see Mayweather fight spinks, Marquez is too small for 147 he could probualy still make feather.

    JMM doesn't stand a chance against Mayweather. The size and power advantages go to Floyd. His defense is far greater than PacMan's and PacMan was able to knock JMM down how many times. Floyd counters and KO's JMM with a solid shot or a combo. It should be interesting while is last.

    Spink has he size advantage but that's about it. His style makes for a boring fight that Mayweather wins by UD.

    The Mayweather vs. JMM fight would be more exciting - but everyone will say that he beat up on a smaller fighter. The Spink's fight would be a legitamate fight against a bigger fighter for a real title and gives him another title in another division. If his chasing history/legacy - he takes the Spinks fight. If he's chasing the Money (Mayweather) - he takes the JMM fight.

    I would say he takes the Spinks fight for Legacy - but his name is Money Mayweather!

    I can almost promise you Stinks would get at least one judge to give him the fight.

    PBF beats either with ease so I voted for JMM who will at least make for an exciting build up.

    I think JMM probably hits harder than spinks.

    Really?
    You can tell this because he has had how many fights at 145?

    lol spinks and jmm are are totaly different weight classes it will be very tough to see who hits harder

    spinks is now a natural 154

    jmm is comfortable at 135

    thats near 20pounds man, that makes big difference

    Well said i think Spinks would pose Mayweather a few problems especially with the lay off.

    I see the JMM match as being a total mismatch from the word go.
