    Im a Mayweather fan, I dont know the guy as a person so Im a fan of his skill level in boxing...But dont be shocked if he follows the following plan to end his career.

    One-JMM, this fight is signed and will happen this summer. Floyd will win and do so fairly easy.

    Now here is were I think the haters will do nuts...

    Two- Move to 154 and take on Cory Spinks...Rumor has it around St Louis is that people close to Cory have said that some talks have already been going on with Spinks days after his title win.

    As a fan of Mayweather this fight would **** me off. No reason for Floyd to be fighting a second tier champion like Spinks.

    Three-Move to 160 and take on most likely Paul Williams if he is holding a belt at middleweight by that time.

    This isnt something that I just pulled out of my ass. It comes from following Mayweathers career, and I know that Floyd wants a title at 160, that would give him titles at 130, 135, 140, 147, 154, 160. Im not sure but I dont think that anyone has won titles in six weights, not real titles IBF, WBC, WBA.

    I personally wouldnt have a problem with this if Floyd replaces Spinks with a better fighter at 154, and faces either Mosely and/or the winner of Clottey-Cotto. If not I will turn on Floyd.

    Im telling you guys, just watch and see.

    pw at 160?? damn why not just fight him at 154?? either way, i respect what pbf can do in the ring but he has unfinished business at ww...most notably shane and cotto. he needs to handle his business

    It's by no means a ridiculous forecast. I don't foresee him dealing with PW or Mosely though.

    It's funny, but so many people seem to forget (Due to the 3 UD's Vs. DLH, Baldomir, and Judah) that in the Past 9 Fights Floyd has had more TKO's than UD's.

    TKO Hatton in 10
    TKO Sharmba Mitchell in 6
    TKO Arturo Gatti in 6
    TKO Henry Buseles in 8
    TKO Phillip Ndou in 7

    The Other 4?
    Split Decision with DLH
    UD with Carlos Baldomir
    UD with Zab Judah (Remember the fight between Roger and Zab's dad there?)
    UD with DeMarcus Corley

    The opposition for the most part has been phenominal, at any weight he's fought at.

    I think we need to let the Corey Spinks thing go. Maybe in 2007, but definitely not now as Spinks is small potatoes and there is much much more money to be made fighting at Welter.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Floyd avoiding the top welters, this isn't anything new. But, rumors are just that, rumors.

    Cleaning out 147 would do more for Floyd's career than anything else he can do. Hell, even a hard core hater like me would have to give him his props.

    IMO its going to be JMM-Pac-Mosley-retire


    Spinks doesnt bring any money to the table so i cant see him doing that one.

    First off . . . I'm not a hater :D

    . . . but it's foolish to be thinking of PBF going up to 154 when the fact is . . . he refuse to fight dangerous fighters at 147 until this point. And take note he won only by an SD against a SHOT DLH where he came in only at 150 lbs. How can you be thinking that he'll take on Paul Williams? :lol:

    What do you think? Am I being illogical? :think

    Well we all know that wasnt really a split dec, Oscar didnt win more then 3 rounds, four is a reach and enough to win the fight???? Well that was only because he had four rounds in his pocket to start the fight in the mind of that one judge. If the fight was really a split dec people would have been excited about the rematch when the deal was made, but no one was, in fact floyd got bashed for signing a rematch with Oscar, so get real.

    Well the reason why Floyd got bashed for signing a DLH rematch is not because of the first match being an SD it's because people already knew . . . DLH will lose again.

    He was blasted for siging a DLH rematch because there are 147 lbs belt holders who are calling his name at that time. :deal
