    Floyd is a big pay day for any fighter. He is feather fisted and not scary at all.
    I can't think of a single WW who is scared to fight him.
    Sure they might get outboxed and lose, but their name gets on the map and they make a couple million.

    Bradley is very good the weight will not matter he is faster than his last few opponents and has great skills conditioning and heart would not be shocked if its close. Floyd is faster than thes big men and its apparent maybe a fighter at 140 not a drasticly lighter class but 140 would be quick enough but big enough to cause trouble. Its not like floyd is a swarmer or pressure guy size will have little impact.

    He's arguably the best 140 pounder out there, and such is obviously a prelude to a future Mosley bout.

    For me I would want floyd to fight Bradley rather than Paulie & Matthew Hatton.

    Yeah, but people want to see floyd fight a guy with power and speed. Bradley's knockout ratio is not impressive, and adding 7 lbs to him won't help that at all.

    Boring fight vs a smaller guy?
    Had enough of those.

    well.... lets see.

    Here are the names ive seen surrounding his next fight

    Hattons little brother
    Malignaggi
    Campbell
    Cintron
    Bradley



    People want to see the bradley fight, because bradley wins by DEFAULT.

    If Mayweather isnt going to be fighting a top 5 welterweight, then out of all the names that have been brought up who might be his opponents, Bradley is the one that should be chosen.

    If Mayweather, team, and fans are so worried about him getting 'credit' and whatnot.... then fine, he should go fight paul williams or simply wait for mosley/berto winner.

    Against De La Hoya he was too small and fast and Oscar kept hitting air. I say forget size and power if you cant hit him you cant beat him. I'm tired of guys assuming since the first Castillo fight you can just be sting and a hard puncher and thats all you need. Hes made leaps and bounds. Hatton had the right idea. He just did not have the chin. I'm tired a Floyd fighting guys who just hit air. I want him in with a fast fighter or a swarmer not afraid like Castillo who keeps coming with a tough chin and is fast enough to cut the ring off. Manny could have been that guy. But we may never know and like my reasons for Bradley a small guy who can match speed.

    lol....

    Mosley even confronted him face to face for a fight = Nothing
    Pac just tried negotiating with him = Nothing
    Cotto has been there for years, now hes off the radar
    Berto has been chosen by Mosley as an opponent
    Clottey was chosen by Pac as his next opponent
    Margarito chased him for years = Nothing


    that about rounds out the top 6 welterweights

    i am not interested in excuses as to why this and that, facts and results often speak louder then excuses. So fact is none of those fights happened, yet people still expect WW's to just line up and continue to challenge floyd when its obvious its pretty pointless? More then that though, the WW's are very tied up right now

    Mosley
    Berto
    Clottey
    Pac

    all have fights coming up

    Cotto
    Margarito

    are coming off bad losses

    ect, ect....

    theres a reason there hasnt been a lot of fighters being vocal about mayweather, and thats because they have their own **** to deal with for now, or are not in the position to do so.

    There has been one guy though that said he would comply with everything and even move up in weight... and thats Bradley.

    Mayweather is an amazing boxer.
    Styles make fights.
    No one wants to watch Mayweather outbox little Bradley.
    The result is a foregone conclusion.
    Floyd needs a challenge, not a warm up.

    Bradley is another small fighter.

    Matt Hatton said he has been called several times by Void's camp.
