Mayweather has already moved up 4 times. And you said it, Burly had to move up to get recognition. Mayweather has already moved up several times and has gained all sorts of recognition. So why does he need to move up again?
If cotto beats geale I wouldn't put it past mayweather to fight cotto at 155 for the lineal title ... Cotto might be stripped of the WBC although they do love mayweather so I'm sure they'd sort something out while GGG gets screwed over
I'd hope he'd only accept if it was clear it was to take place in a race track so Pacquiao would know what he's getting into.
Not going to disagree, but this fight was hyped as fight of century etc, i as a boxing fan do not want to see it repeated. Mayweather proved last night he was the better boxer by a country mile, lets move on and if Mayweather is going to have only one more fight let it be with a opponent he has not fought previously. We all know however the deciding factor will be which opponent will bring in the most bucks, if that was Pac and Pac was wanting the return that quickly, then rematch we would have.
I'd like to see Floyd take on Cotto at Madison Square Garden for the lineal Middleweight championship. I doubt he'll ever fight outside of Vegas, but as a New Yorker it would be great to see Mayweather fight in the building that some of the greatest champions in history fought in. Cotto brings a rather large fanbase and a lineal MW title to the table. It seems like the most sensible match for FLoyd to make before he goes off into retirement.
It would be anywhere near as lucrative...or competitive. There is no point. Sadly, Khan, by avoiding Brook, has positioned himself to be the likely pick for #49.
no rematch. people will now demand vada and international judges. lets do it in macau with international judges and vada. no excuses.
