    Floyd vs Lara would be good.:bbb
    I think Danny Garcia would do ok as well.

    What it boils down to is that Floyd is either going to fight Khan or Maidana next when there's about 20 better opponents he could be fighting. This is after a run of Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, and Canelo so it isn't like there's any real hope from a historical standpoint of Floyd facing a legitimate threat after chumping Khan or Maidana. Tells you all you need to know.

    What are you talking about? Flawed logic. He's not even going to fight him!

    Money Floyd is a brand. It is a result of marketing genius crafted by Haymon. Gain viewers by seeing him lose and others to continue to watch him preserve his wins.

    Floyd is a lot smarter than his fans. Name all those who you think that could beat him that he did beat. Yes, but that is what you think. Floyd, being a smart and ring experience, knows who he can beat and will never fight someone knowing his 0 is at risk.

    Floyd said it himself. He rather be called a rich coward and even added he will not sacrifice his health and family. He hasn't said anything similar to those that he fought and defeated.

    you sure you would trade the willeamses, martinezes, margos, pacs to the baldomirs, guerreros, ortizes, gasnelos, and now possible khan?

    tell me, have you seen any article, posts, threads, anything asking floyd to fight marquez instead of waiting for pac-hatton result? have you posted anything about it?

    easy. carefully manufactured career.:hi:

    pac round robin with marquez, morales, barrera, there isnt much you can ask for a lower weights.

    round robin with cotto, clottey, margo on different weight classes. same guys floyd avoided with the pretense he wanted the dela hoya fight. showed pac's willingness to take on all comers.

    floyd. only manufactured career.

    Thats complete and utter bull****.. All Floyd had to do was not 'retire' & take so many extended breaks between fights & he could have easily fought Pac, Margarito, Williams etc as well as those he's already fought.
    You have apoint about Cotto at 140 as he did want to fight Cotto, but at no point did he want anything to do with Kostya Tszyu, in face he actually fought not 1 but 2 eliminators for a shot at Gatti for the WBC belt instead.

    ****** created the curse for himself. anything to avoid the tough fights.

    everytime i think about floyd and his choice of oppostion, i kinda missed dela hoya badly.

    gone is the golden (boy) era.

    we are now in the gay era.

    20 better opponents? I can think of a few but 20? What a joke.
    It does not matter who he fights, 90% of people will say that is the wrong guy. Because they are all the wrong guy, he will beat anyone 154 and under.
    My 2 favorites fantasy picks are Lara and Garcia but I know from this forum that many people do not agree. And I could name a few more and get the same response. Don't get me wrong I think Khan is crap but it does not matter who he fights the haters will bash it.
    This was 100% proven with Alvarez, there were several threads talking about he was ducking him then fight gets made and all the sudden he is a bum. There will never be a fight that the haters will support.

    Of course you miss the point. With people like you any fighter he didn't fight at the time you think he should've fought was a fight he would have lost.

    Just a bone head who acts like he is a boxing fan.
    But any real fan of boxing would have to like Floyd, he is a technical genius who has elevated the sport to the point where a boxer is the highest paid athlete in the world(with no endorsements)

    He was probably always going to take vacations and extended breaks, and would have fought the same number of opponents. My post wasn't addressing the details; like retiring, allowing his body to heal, promoter issues, chasing a belt for whatever reason. I'm addressing, rather, the broad strokes of this flawed logic by progamer.

    So lets assume that instead of Hatton, Hoya, it was Williams, and Margarito. Even if YOU think that would have been better opposition, others would have said the opposite. A paradox. A catch-22.

    This post really isn't about defending Mayweather, even if that happens as consequence. My point is that it's stupid to assume that any fighter that he didn't face is a fighter he would have lost against.

    Of course he is a business, and there are fights I would have loved to see made, but the assumption that any fight that didn't happen is fight he would have lost is just...
