    You honestly believe Floyd will fight either Pac or Sergio and then expect me to
    believe you're well grounded:lol:

    no..Mayweather only beat 2 HOF fighters and that's Dela hoya and Mosley (both past their primes).. Marquez doesn't count because he dragged Marquez to fight him at 146.. Too many welterweights in his time that he ducked!

    Did I say its guaranteed? Did I mention at all that he's gonna fight both/either fighter?

    What I'm saying is you can't make a snap judgement on who will fight who before someone's career is over. Not Floyd. Not Manny. Not Martinez. But if you believe you got all the answers then please let me know who wins the Superbowl this year. I can just imagine the money I can make from that knowledge.

    See I really don't like these preconceptions because boxing is a constantly evolving sport; while the each fighter has his own relative impact during their generation and pool of fighters, the benchmarks of head to head ability should not be insurmountable as time passes.

    The pioneers who came before will solidify themselves as greats because of the impact they made on their generation, but it will not seal them in the top echelon of fighters for eternity.

    Is it inconceivable that Napoleon was greater than Alexander?




    BTW on topic, no. His career isn't finished though.

    So what! The first time I saw Floyd was when he was fighting in the Olympics and I've been keeping an eye on him ever since. The very first professional fight I saw him in was with Jerry Cooper(one of the funniest damn fights I've ever seen). And I've actually met the guy. That don't mean I know him or know what he's gonna do or who he's gonna fight. I believe he will eventually fight Pac but not Maraville. But that's what I BELIEVE. But you talk like its guaranteed to never happen. Explain what makes you so sure.
