If you have choice, who should PBF fight in his next/last fight so you will be satisfied enough to let him retire as a true champion?
He should be forced to wear the sombrero while walking in the ring with Margarito watching and chomping at the bit to beat him down like Chavez beat downs his crackhead uncle.
If PBF only wanted to fight and win one more fight - it needs to be either Mosley at WW or Taylor at MW. Beating either of those two gives him a victory over another ranked P4P fighter. Personally, I think he can go retire and waste his money on ho's with 50 Cent for all I care. Of he thinks he's the best - he has a line up of fighters waiting to take him to that level.
I'm a big PBF fan, and if he were to retire right now and in his prime it would be a true shame. He should fight everyone on that list, just so all of the haters on ESB can cry :| :| :| :| ( I'd like to see all of the other excuses that they can come up with to discredit him). To me, a fight with Mosely and Cotto would be enough. I think they both give him a good challenge, and wins over both would cement his legacy.
I voted Cotto, but I don't think one big win is enough for him to be regarded as one of the best fighters of all time, unless it's against JT which isn't going to happen. I'd like to see him fight Mosley, the winner of Cotto-Margo/Williams. Then maybe Clottey?
I hope he never fights again. And it isn't because I don't like him, because I do. But, here are my reasons: He is fighting at too high a weight. He can't make an exciting fight because he can't afford to trade with any of the heavy hitters at 147 or 154. So, every fight is going to be a boring exercise in Floyd's reflexes being quicker than everyone else's and him playing "hit and don't be hit" for 12 rounds. To get him in the ring now is going to be a major ordeal. He just made about $20M from the DLH fight ($10M base plus another $10M in PPV revenue). There is no way he is going to fight for anything less than $10M at this point. The only realistic fights for him to get that kind of coin are Mosley, possibly Hatton depending on the foreign revenue involved and maybe Cotto or Margarito if Arum is willing to possibly take a loss on the promotion. That is pretty much it. (assuming there is no DLH rematch) Fights with Williams, Cintron, Clottey will never be made because a promoter will take a major financial loss on the promotion trying to satisfy Floyd's demands. Honestly, I would rather he just goes away than have to deal with having to watch him in technical boring fights and hearing him spout off through the media about how much he deserves to be paid.
SSM. I've been preaching it before the DLH fight, SSM and Winky are the only men in that area who can beat him. Mayweather/Mosley would be a gunfight. Cotto is a 2nd choice but a fight with SSM is head and shoulders above anything else at this point.
beating an old mosley or a green cotto will not cement his legacy..floyd has done more than enough to retire as an ATG.
This is a trick question. On ESB there is no adequate answer to this. Half the people on ESB won't be satisfied unless he beats God on network TV, commercial-free with no knockdowns (with all of his proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation).
ssm or cotto to me are the only 2 he should consider, but honestly does he really need to fight again??? as a boxing fan i'd love to see him keep fighting.
I'd wish he just retire right now, I don't feel the need to listen to him brag about himself and his money anymore..
Money wise no, but for him to actually start gaining more respect then of course he has to keep fighting.
