    :lol:

    I have to admit, all of this Hatton talk is very funny.

    Mayweather will either fight Tim Bradley or PW if the Pac fight isn't settled over the weekend. :deal

    Mayweather/Ellerbe know that the public won't accept the Hatton or Paulie fight, especially since Pacquiao is fighting a legitimate WW.

    Martinez stole PW's mystique and now would be the time for Floyd to fight him.

    Bradley is the only other option that fans would accept.

    Mosley / Berto winner: Not happening in his next fight, earliest this fight could happen would be late april or early may and Mayweather would have only boxed 12 rounds in about 2 1/2 years if that was to happen.

    Margarito: Out until April at the earliest, besides he is a Top Rank fighter. People seem to forget that when they do match-ups. If Bob Arum didn't want to make $40M then why would he make less with a Margarito-Mayweather matchup.

    Cotto: Top Rank fighter, he'll be fighting another Alfonso Gomez before he takes a fight with top competition.

    Bradley @145 CW: Real possibility though not at 145, I don't think Mayweather can dip below 147 anymore. He has said he wants the fight, and he would be a great fight before a showdown with the winner of Mosley-Berto in the Late summer.

    Clottey: Top Rank Fighter, apparently going to fight at Cowboys Stadium with Manny Pacquiao. I don't get why at Cowboys Stadium, cause Manny Pacquiao might be popular but he cannot fill a 40,000 person arena(they are not going to fill to capacity for a boxing match) fighting Josh Clottey.

    Collazo: This might happen though I don't see really why it should. Collazo has been beaten by top WW's across the board and while it might be a good fight I just don't see it selling PPVs like Tim Bradley would.

    Williams @154 or 147: Williams says he can get back to 147, though I don't think he can and at 154 there is still unfinished business with Sergio Martinez. I think Martinez-Williams would do better than Mayweather-Williams because of the epic first fight.

    other than the people you mentioned(and I agreed with) the other people I can see him fighting would be Maidana(whom is set to fight Amir Khan, but Freddy Roach is going to have Khan vacate his belt to avoid the fight). Malignaggi was kicked around though I think that is more rumor, especially since Team Pacquiao were the ones investigating that fight. All I will say is that it will not be a Top Rank fighter.

    If he stands around in the pocket like he did against Collazo I think Shane knocks him the **** out early.

    I'd like to see the 24/7 for Mayweather/Corrales II.

    Narrator: "A rematch not even DEATH could keep from happening. Diego Corrales is on the comeback trail and this time he says he's going to knock out his arch nemesis, Floyd Mayweather Junior. Floyd and his warrior spirit were happy to oblige after psychic Sylvia Browne informed him that Diego was calling him out to do it again. With Freddie Roach as his trainer and John Edward as the psychic medium translator, Chico says pretty boy Floyd... won't be...so pretty anymore."

    Floyd: "Some people are saying, Diego's dead, is it really fair? He called ME out. Can't nobody f**k with me, not even a ghost. I'm the best."

    Later on ESPN:

    Brian Kenny: "Floyd, if you were going to fight a ghost, why not the ghost of someone like Ray Robinson, who you claim you're better than, and many claim is the best ever."

    Floyd: "What uh, uh, uh, the Ray Robinson who lost to Paul Pender? That Ray Robinson?How many pay-per-view buys he do? How many Ferraris he own?"

    Brian: "...Pleasure to talk to you as always, Floyd."

    You cant just right off every top rank fighter because Floyd is the opponent while its in probable its not impossible , Pac Floyd fell through for its own reasons , Floyd Marg , or Floyd Clottey ( as we now know looks set to fight Pac so looks like thats a no go'er) is legit in the WW division . Floyd Marg is still a profitable fight but its about the split and Floyds terms which would come down to Arum which makes it in probable but still a legit option .

    I think the Cotto fight would be a go'er if Cotto would agree to fight Floyd after such a 1 sided beating from Pac and an all out war against Clottey , if Cotto said yes i think again is realistic , might not be the greatest sellers OAT but still an option and another good payday for Cotto .

    Collazo is a top 10 WW and should be in the mix as a tune up for Floyd / Mosley .

    The Mosley / Berto winner is a no brainer to face Floyd as Manny is tied up with Clottey , tune up against a tomato can for Floyd in March , Floyd Shane or Berto in June .

    Williams has catagorically stated he can make 147 , and has been looking for Floyd for 3 years !!!! , forget Martinez that can wait until another day Martinez would be out like a bad habit if a Mayweather fight presented itself .

    Bradley would have to be at a CW , your talking about 2lb's , what would be interesting about having another small JrWW stepping up to 147 for target practice for Floyd ??? , nothing !!!!!!!

    I think it will be Malignaggi if he wants to push ahead with a fight in March.
