    That was in reference to someone who was possibly cheating. The same someone who refused testing. Testing that is on its way to being an industry standard.

    I never said he was the goat, but he has matched himself extremely carefully, got paid a lot of money for it and never overlooked any opponent. He is completely beatable but we just don't seem to be able to get guys like Paul Williams, Manny, Margarito or any other fighter who isn't a straight forward or endurance challenged fighter in the ring with him.

    He is an elite fighter with a B resume. I agree Pac might be the best option.

    Really, Showtime and GBP might have to have Floyd on the shelf a bit and wait for Garcia or Broner to become popular enough that a fight with Floyd makes $ense.

    With how much Floyd is getting payed, it doesn't make sense to have him just fight anybody. Obviously I don't know the true exact numbers, but seemingly all reports peg the Ghost fight as a financial bust.... and while I expect that number to be the basement of Floyds drawing power, I don't expect a fight with Broner or Garcia at this stage makes much financial sense.

    Build them up a bit more, then line em up for Floyd to knock em down.


    Its either that, or go up to 160 and fight Martinez for the middleweight title. But that's highly unlikely.

    But seriously, besides fighting Pac (even at this stage), a fight with Martinez for the middleweight title is really the only fight I can see doing huge numbers right now. But really, the Martinez fight at 160 is too much to ask for Mayweather imo, hes maxed out at 154.

    Let Broner and Garcia build a bit more, have Mayweather beat Garcia in 2014, then Mayweather vs Broner for late 2014 or 2015 and near the end of Mayweathers contract and career. Taking both Garcias and Broners 0.

    But ya, theres really no more boogeymen for Floyd. People will bring up Pac, Martinez and GGG..... but I think most people realize theres nobody left.

    That would be a step down.

    But there are still some good fights out there for Mayweather.

    I know there was talk of Floyd doing a non PPV fight when he switched over to Showtime.

    He might do something like that against Bradley or Alexander...which ever guy makes the most noise.

    Matthysse is Mayweathers biggest threat at 140-147
    GGG at 154-160
