    And will you be mad if he doesnt fight any of them in his next fight?


    my list

    1 - Hatton
    2 - Mosley
    3 - Cotto
    4 - Williams
    5 - Margarito


    these... imo... are the only names mayweather really needs to be concerned with if he wishes to continue fighting. And i pray to god that he does fight one of them, not so much williams or margarito, i dont care to see paul and him fight... nor margarito, but let hatton, cotto, and mayweather battle it out.

    those three need to fight eachother!


    EDIT - this was in 2007... i no longer care to see him vs williams at all, and put pac in the top 5 instead... my new list is

    1 - Cotto
    2 - Mosley
    3 - Pac
    4 - Margarito
    5 - Clottey

    I want to see him against Cotto, Hatton, or to a lesser extent, Mosley. I think he'll get less credit for Mosley simply because he's not prime, so it's not as big a fight for me since it will get downplayed if Floyd wins anyway.

    Edit: The only way I would not be "disappointed" would be if he jumped to like Middleweight and fought someone like Taylor (though he's leaving Middleweight) in an attempt at Greatness. Not likely to happen, but it's the only other thing I would be really happy with.

    1) Mosley (getting old, any longer and it wont be worth it)

    2) Cotto

    3) Hatton

    4) Williams

    5) Cintron


    Margo didnt make it because he's a less skilled version of Cotto so if PBF can beat Cotto he can beat Margo.

    ya...

    seriously, it will be ridicoulas imo if cotto, hatton and mayweather finish their careers without fighting eachother. they are the three undefeated fighters each with their own huge following like none other around them besides hoya.

    all are in the 140-147 range, all are undefeated, all are still young, all are prime, all have big fanbases.


    it NEEDS TO HAPPEN

    im just curious man, why cintron?

    to me it just seems like people have forgotten that margarito destroyed cintron, and though cintron showed that he DOES have heart in the estrada fight, and won by stoppage, it too was a war somewhat...

    margo in my mind will continue to be above cintron until cintron proves otherwise, and he hasnt done that for me imo.

    I agree with all 5 on your list but would personally like to see Mosley or Cotto.

    I agree to a certain extent kirk, I just feel styles make fights and I don't think Cintron is the same fighter we saw mentally and emotionally break down vs Margo. I think Cintron starches Margo in a rematch.

    I think PBF will only fight two more times and try and reach 40 wins. I would like to see him face Hatton then the Cotto/Mosley winner.

    Ya, the tale of the tape is really all I need to see for fight. I check out the physical stats and turn the television off. Long arms and height wins every fight.

    1. Williams
    2. Mosely
    3. Cotto
    4. Cinton
    5. Hatton

    Just the order of guys I think can beat Mayweather, top to bottom (although I don't think Cintron or Hatton have a chance but I needed a 4 and 5.)

    My top 5:

    1. Cotto - The two top welterweights. How can that not be everyone's #1? Dying to see if Floyd can handle the nonstop pressure and assault to the body?

    2. Paul Williams - Mismatch nightmare for Floyd. Interested in seeing how Floyd responds to his physical disadvantages in this fight.

    3. Mosley - About friggin time..

    4. Spinks - Not really my style of fight.. but I think Spinks gives Floyd a lot of trouble and may even beat him at his own game.

    5. Andre Berto - PBF vs an aggressive young lion with deadly KO power.. I'm all for that!
