    My reasoning for Margo? Well as of now the names I've heard are Matthew Hatton, Paulie Malignaggi, Cintron :patsch, Campbell and Bradley. Margo is the guy who Mosley beat and now Mosley as a result is the #1 WW in the world, yet now Margo isn't even as worthy an opponent as Malignaggi :lol: And don't be fooled, Timothy Bradley will not stand a friggin Chance against Floyd at 147. There is also alot of history and **** talking with Margo and a victory would say alot to him, his fans and Bob Arum.

    Hmmm Foreman.... :thumbsup not bad at all. Would show that Mayweather takes what Pac is afraid of or "Height Concerns"

    Not a bad suggestion there dawg. Foreman Does need a fight since he has nothing schedules right?

    Would mayweather take it is the question?

    Yeah, Foreman is a boxer/mover. Floyd would just UD him quite easily I'd expect. This is kinda a no brainer to me, especially being that Pac JUST turned it down saying Foreman was too dangerous.

    I am not going down the "Juiceman/Void" road with you. If you have no analysis move on. Everything else you said is speculative nonsense.

    Have a nice day. :good

    Collazo would be my choice. BTW, anybody know why FMJ "has" to fight somebody on 03-13 @ the MGM Grand? What would be the ramifications if FMJ moves the fight up to May so he can meet the winner of the SSM/Berto bout?

    There has been nothing official so I am asking you to look at the landscape and make a match that is POSSIBLE and COMPETITIVE. No negativity from me man.

    My analysis on Margo is that he just came off a pretty long layoff. Being that he was such a force at WW he should not put himself in to fight a top tier guy until he feels where he is at. I am not knocking Margo as worthy. I am saying that if I was managing Margo's career, putting him in with FMJ after a huge mental setback and layoff would be throwing him to the wolves and not good for Margo.

    That is my reasoning why not Margo. What is yours?

    the problem is right, every name mentioned has a negative thrown.

    cotto(got schooled)
    cintron(loses when he steps up)
    collzao(see above)
    williams(weight drained)
    bradley(too small)
    malignaggi(too small)
    campbell(too small)
    quintana(1 round ko)

    yes martinez at 154 would be a good fight, but i nexpect floyd to stay at 147. zavek, ibf holder. no negative for that right?

    lol at the joyboys saying pac-clottey is meaningless while saying cintron is a credible opponent for floyd. :lol:

    Good pick! I hadn't even thought of that angle!

    Very true. So we have (in no order):

    Cintron
    Quintana
    Foreman
    Collazo
    Bradley (lowest viability)

    Interesting. Maybe there is more out there than I thought...

    it seems to suit everyone, floyd has to jump up out of his natural weight and fight a beltholder at LMW.

    the irony lol. no LWW should jump up to fight floyd, butn floyd should jump up to fight a LMW

    You're the one that brought Pac into this discussion.

    If hes not going to fight Williams or Mosley why the hell should anyone give a **** about who hes going to fight,it simply will be another handpicked fighter without a chance of winning.

    Keep protecting that "0" you're doing a hell of a job.
