seanI belive trout would be mayweather toughest fight to date because he is a big jr middle weight lefty that is slick . He wouldnot be mayweathers biggest name nor am I saying trout is surely going to be a hall of fame fighter .But going into fight with trout now . I wouldnt make mayweather a over welmining favorite. If mayweather took on trout now he deserve the credit for taking a tough fight if alverez fights trout he deserves the credit Posted February 21, 2013 11:22 pmBoss Redgreat. fighters do great things in the ring against other great fighters the Robinson,duran,hagler,hearns,etc did it not mayweather he punch like a little girl slapping scared to take a punch and scared to death of pac-man his daddy told him boy whatever you do don’t fight pac-man because he destroyed champions from flyweight to jrmiddle real fighters compare the records mayweathers a cartoon Posted February 14, 2013 4:00 amAnonymousNo fight with guerrero … Floyd is smart enuf to see its jus gonna be 500k ppv … Will take another vacation to find his balls to fight pac, canelo or martinez. Or better jus retire, gud for boxing. Posted February 3, 2013 11:34 pmjamesyg_31I am a big fan of Mayweather but this is getting boring now, just name your opponent!! It better be a big shock i.e. Klitscko haha, to warrant this delay, everybody is guessing Guerrero but im hoping its Canelo. Posted February 3, 2013 10:25 pmThe PrinceAdrian – Simple, because when Floyd is entertaining the idea of fighting Bradley, when he was undefeated, haters claimed he was cherry picking an easy opponent. But when Manny did it, – he’s brave. Just like right now, if Floyd fights Guerrero, he’s a cherry picker, but if Manny shocks everyone and announces he’s fighting Guerrero, those same people will be calling him brave and taking a risk.

Posted February 2, 2013 12:17 pmBig FootI don’t know if that’s true or just something coming from a hater but if it is it’s not the first. I remember a club fighter doing that once. Posted February 2, 2013 11:51 amAnonymousyeah he pooped Posted February 2, 2013 11:49 amAnonymousIs that really true that Pacquiao crapped his pants when he got knocked out? I tried to google it but not much is showing up. Posted February 2, 2013 10:09 amthe real erniePac got hit so hard he crapped his pants. His wifey was the first one to notice too. Manny didn’t even know he took a number two in his pants!!! He’s the best fighter ever! How many boxers have ever pooped their pants in the ring? Manny is number one! Posted February 2, 2013 1:06 amcommonsenseYes, i agree the longer two fighters wait to fight when one is 36 and the other is what 23? 24? that yea by waiting that benefits the 36 year old. Wow. What logic. Mayweather can just wait for a kid in early 20′s to get old before he fights him. Heck knowing Floyd he will probably wait till he’s 50 and Canelo is Money’s age now. Then Floyd would win easily. I guess Floyd doesn’t age like every other human being ever. I heard Mayweather’s body actually produces more testosterone the older he gets. And he gets faster too. Posted February 2, 2013 1:02 amAdrian-Sredmond AdrianWhat’s new prince ? ArguingWithIdiotsLast time I saw fiddy cent, he was dropping from the ceiling into the ring, to promote the Gamboa fight.

Posted February 1, 2013 6:50 pmArguingWithIdiotsWhoever Mayweather faces from hear on out, win or lose, we’ll be witnessing one of the best the sport has ever had to offer, bravo Mayweather you honed your craft well. Posted February 1, 2013 5:37 pmThe PrinceFloyd is not only a boxing genius, but a pretty good business man as well. That’s one of the many reasons haters can’t stand him. Just like when the idea of Tim Bradley as an opponent came up, haters were trying to say Floyd was cherrypicking, but when Manny cherrypicked Bradley – and paid the price for it – those same haters were praising him. But that’s the biased mindset of the boxing fan. If Manny would have actually agreed to the 40-60 split and fought Mayweather, his current situation with Marquez might not have happened at all. Posted February 1, 2013 5:18 pmgerryBetween Guerrero and Canelo I say Canelo is more ready than Guerrero but since Floyd is the #1 p4p Cherrypicker in the History of Boxing I think he will fight Guerrero next. Posted February 1, 2013 3:51 pmSREDMONDPopular fighters are GOOD for a sport that thrives on personalities when will you dummies realize that its a combo of skills and marketability that sell?? Ray Leonard, Tyson and Mayweather have that “It Factor” that makes people want to come out and pay to see them fight…These forgotten boxers need to give it up!! Posted February 1, 2013 3:49 pmEdgar GuevaraI hope he gets beat, down. This guy has taken boxing to an ugly level like Sugar Ray Leonard and DLH. Until Leonard got beat by Camacho and Norris then got his lesson not to play with boxing. Posted February 1, 2013 2:28 pmAnonymousNo body cares about what hobbled old smaller fighter he fights… Their only interest in his fights is wanting to watch him get his Cherry pickin ASS knockedafkoutcold… Posted February 1, 2013 2:19 pmPEEJFloyd tried to fight Oscar earlier but Oscar didn’t want to fight him. Floyd tried to fight Mosley at 140 which was in Mosleys prime and Mosley jumped to 147 instead. Margacheato didn’t deserve a fight with Floyd and also didn’t bring any money. Paul Williams was overrated and really didn’t bring any money to the table. Floyd is just a great fighter that will be missed once gone. Posted February 1, 2013 1:01 pmMoonshinemanMayweather is getting old and slow. He will fight Guerrero. If he wasn’t, Guerrero would be talking up a storm. Posted February 1, 2013 12:36 pmSREDMONDBroner and Mattheysee dangerous for Floyd? you gotta be joking? a mentally weak Zab Judah managed to defeat Mattheysee and Floyd is too strong for Adrian Broner who has just had ONE bout at 135 pounds whereas Floyd has fought 154 pounders… Get real…. Mattheysee is about HALF as dangerous to Floyd as ODH was… Lucas lacks the boxing IQ to even make decent contact, do you really think Floyd is Mike Dallas?? Posted February 1, 2013 12:31 pmAaaWell your in luck. His fighting every 12 months ;) Posted February 1, 2013 11:55 amThe El Paso Fight ProphetDont Worry Mayweather Your Still The Best Cherry Picker In Boxing. Posted February 1, 2013 11:07 amAnonymousFloyd Mayweather Jr. will TOY with Guerrero whatever he tries to do in the ring. Floyd is not Berto!! Posted February 1, 2013 10:58 amRobert C. Jackson (@rjack58)Marquez had the chance to challemnge Mayweather after the Pacquio KO, but DID HE?? Mayweather ‘s name never came out of his mouth! Posted February 1, 2013 10:56 amSREDMONDMayweather is a MASTER marketer he has basically cultivated SO much demand for his fights that he has the casual and hardcore fan at his mercy… GOOD for him!!! Boxing is a business and with all the boxers getting robbed, underpaid, brain damaged and abused its good that Floyd has taken control of his career and partnered with someone who will help him maximize his income during his career… All the haters and fans don’t matter when you are broke and brain damaged like other greats SRL and Joe Louis Posted February 1, 2013 10:33 amboxstraFloyd is a great fighter. However, i’m tired of waiting, waiting, waiting….. I don’t care how much “money” he has or who his rapper friend is. I just want to see skills in the ring more often than once every 18 months or so. Posted February 1, 2013 9:54 amAnonymousI would not buy any of these fights, Floyd allowed the Pacman fight to disappear, that’s a fight we would have bought. For a guy who calls himself “money” he won’t get any of mine, unless he fights Martinez, Broner, 3G, Matteyse,or any current dangerous opponent . Posted February 1, 2013 9:50 amAaronFloyd will never fight Trout or Martinez. Please don’t ever mention them as possible opponents. Posted February 1, 2013 6:17 amAaronWell Floyd should’ve fought him if it was such a done deal Posted February 1, 2013 6:16 amAaronFloyd is an all-time great. He should have challenged himself more. Posted February 1, 2013 6:15 amKOrnermanYeah if he had fought and beat the likes of Margarito and Paul Williams at their prime I would vouch for him more but he did avoid some good fighters in their prime, DLH would have gave him an even tougher fight a few years earlier and Castillo should have got the not in the first fight with him so he aint that great. Posted February 1, 2013 4:53 amPomonaAn all time great but a forgetable one. Posted February 1, 2013 4:42 amPEEJFloyd is the an All Time Great. Plain and simple Posted February 1, 2013 1:55 amAnonymousFloyd jr. is GOAT of fighting opponents that he can surely win to keep his zero investment. Posted February 1, 2013 1:19 amPEEJEverybody wanted Floyd to fight Pac but yet Pac is way smaller than Floyd. So if they would of fought and then after Floyd toyed with him everybody would say that fight should of never been made, Pac was to small for Floyd. Just like folks where saying after Hopkins dominated Trinidad for 11 and half rounds before TKOing him. This after Tito KO’d every other Middle he fought at the time Posted February 1, 2013 12:09 amPEEJSo since Floyd has fought 147 and 154 pounders then we need to crucify Oscar and Cotto for fighting a lighter fighter. Damn them I can’t beleive they fought Floyd. They should of fought someone there own size or bigger, but weight how could they fight someone bigger because then the bigger fighter is going to take on a smaller fighter again. Will these chain of events ever stop? Folks get a clue Posted February 1, 2013 12:07 amLmanhis baby mommas momma… Posted January 31, 2013 10:50 pmmayweather86Indeed sir…indeed Posted January 31, 2013 10:30 pmmayweather86Psssst. Guess what weight Floyd started out at?. Your not a very bright fellow are you. Luckily I saved a helmet for u :) Posted January 31, 2013 10:29 pmHappyboyFloyd’s next fight is against a Mexican champion ( Canelo or Guerrero) cause that makes more dollars thus makes more sense to Money May. Aside from the fact that Bradley is under Top Rank and May has not faught against a Top Rank opponent in over a decade thats the man I would like to see against Floyd add to that his resume is much better than both Canelo and Guerrero yet guess who these fickle fans and these so called writers hoping for, Guerrero and guess whose gonna be first to crucify Floyd for putting on another clinic, the same idiots. The man has spanked 9/10 world champions and 3 HOFmers in a row and his considered a cherrypicker ( gtfoh) by some morons, please give me another boxer with those stats still unbeaten and still worth over $50M in his sack in the history of boxing, 0. Floyd Mayweather is a Legend of his times and a boxing maestro, fact. Posted January 31, 2013 10:19 pmOswaldHe won’t fight an opponent twice you kidding that’s too risky. He specializes in picking apart the lightweight division and now super lightweight when he faces Guererro. Fool! Posted January 31, 2013 10:17 pmFloyd Is UNDEFEATEDFloyd should fight FORTY year olds like Pac does and fight the same fighters over and over and over. Apparently that’s how you become GOAT according to Pactards. Posted January 31, 2013 9:30 pmdgsxxvMayweather well get beat but by canelos hands canelo getting exposed I serously doubt that he reminds me to a young jmm.with a hint of salvador sanchez kids for real Posted January 31, 2013 9:16 pmAnonymousThe weakest that Floyd jr. will fight Posted January 31, 2013 9:04 pmIt’s Me, ErnieThe last thing Mayflower wants is Canelo… Posted January 31, 2013 8:52 pmmayweather86Ignorance and hatred flying at full throttle. Gotta love it. 44-0 on its way Posted January 31, 2013 8:40 pmjamesyg_31Has Canelo an opponent yet for May 4th? wudnt surprise me if Floyd goes straight for him in May, cos he is a massive draw at the moment & if he waits on him someone else may expose Canelo & kill this fight, he should learn from the Pac fiasco not to build the fight too long… Bradley v Floyd SHOULD be a big event – 2 undefeated American welterweights etc, unfortunately it isn’t though as Bradley couldn’t draw flies to a turd! Devon Alexander has the same problem, so Floyd may struggle for big name at 147lbs if he takes Canelo in May. The perfect scenario would be if Pac could redeem himself in time for a Sept fight with Floyd – highly unlikely though! Posted January 31, 2013 7:44 pmRoccoWHOEVER fights Floyd next – 1) Study Floyd Sr. fighting Sugar Ray Leonard on YouTube. 2) CUT the ring and get Floyd on the ropes a lot. 3) when he puts up the cross over defense – use your right hand to punch Floyd’s LEFT side rib cage and LEFT upper side of his head. 4) Throw punches constantly, even if they only hit arms. Even if he’s a smart fighter, he cannot at his age deal with non stop punches flying at him Posted January 31, 2013 7:30 pmSREDMONDRicky Hatton was undefeated, and so was Diego Corrales how the hell is the story that “Floyd only faces damaged opponents” ALL fighters Floyd included are damaged on some level you get hit, you have training injuries etc… Manny Pacquiao did his BEST work in boxing after 2 early career stoppage losses…Normally the ONLY undefeated fighters are NEW boxers as opposed to guys who have proven they can actually fight… Sheesh… Posted January 31, 2013 6:50 pmAnonymousI will never watch another of Floyd’s fights. He is a great fighter but not a true warrior. Posted January 31, 2013 6:42 pmsrminimoBTW, has anybody else read news about Gamboa being linked to performance enhancing drugs? WebsterYou are drinking the Kool-aid before it even been served. Posted January 31, 2013 6:30 pmWebsterMayweather only faces damaged opponents. If Robert Jackson is correct and Canelo barely escapes in his next fight, then expect to see them square off in Sept. However, a Canelo KO will send Floyd running in the opposite direction. Posted January 31, 2013 6:29 pmsrminimoGood article and I agree perfectly with the perspective on Guerrero. Robert has literally “built” some momentum by beating Aydin, who was supposed to be the #1 ranked fighter in the division, but really, after seeing his performance against Soto Karass -capable, solid and brave, but not an elite fighter by any means- people should know better. Then he fought a Berto coming off a loss, a suspension and a positive test for doping. Other than that he claims to be a 5 division champ (hey, that’s more than Shane Mosley!), but has never fought a top guy. hecdogMayweather will fight Guerrero and then fight The Legendary Manny Pacquiao. Guerrero is tough as nails, and may have a chance at an upset if the time off and age has affected Mayweathers speed, timing and reflexes, which is always a possibility when you reach his age. Mayweather will lose one of his next 3 fights. Posted January 31, 2013 6:11 pmSwedish Boxing FanFloyd Mayweather Jr continues to throw away his tallent and best fights possible. Such a shame and he have done that for years now. Posted January 31, 2013 5:47 pmBoxing Fanaticbradley. floyd, “he beat pacquaio” Posted January 31, 2013 4:43 pmDan DAmir Khan? :-) Posted January 31, 2013 4:24 pmDGMayweather will demand sophisticated drug test from Maequez prior to the fight. That might not work for Maequez. Posted January 31, 2013 3:07 pmFedorwanna bet? Posted January 31, 2013 3:03 pmAnonymousI notice Maequez is not on the list. WHY ? Rememmber they fought at a weight where Floyd was much heavier and paid Marquez -off. After the fight which I didn’t think he showed as much MASTERY as Larry Merchant and jim Lamopley were shoving down our throats, Juan simply said, let me have 2 more fights at this weight (AND I WILL BEAT HIM) again (I WILL BEAT HIM) not I’ll fight him ! I’LL BEAT HIM. NOT TO MANY FIGHTERS SAY THAT ABOUT FLOYD, BUT YOU GOTTA BELIOEVE THAT MARQUEZ HAS BEEN PIUNCHING A LOG WITH FLOYDS FACE ON IT SINCE HE LOST !!! Posted January 31, 2013 3:01 pmmansworldFloyd is the top dog in the drivers seat, Logical fight would be Guerro since Alverez already has a fight. He could also fight Martinez at 154lbs or even Trout . either one would be big. Time Bradley would be good but unlikely since he is owned by top rank, Possibilities are endless he was right he doesnt need Manny…. Posted January 31, 2013 2:52 pmBlack ExodusI do and you do too…the greatest boxer of this generation…hands down…undefeated…you want him to lose…you can taste it…you hate him…so pay for the PPV…like I know you will. I was once told “If you don’t have haters, you doing something wrong”…guess Floyd doesn’t have to worry about that! Posted January 31, 2013 2:36 pmAnonymoustypo…..you’re a fan Posted January 31, 2013 2:26 pmAnonymousthe main thing is to stay active until another big fight is scheduled……he won’t be around much longer, so if yuo’re a fan, enjoy while you can Posted January 31, 2013 2:25 pmterror tim1-ton is exactly right. The announcement might come Saturday night after the MVP and other awards are handed out but it will be this weekend. Not sure if the fight really thrills me but its better than most. Canelo will be in Sept. Posted January 31, 2013 2:24 pm1-TonExpect an announcement this weekend in New Orleans where he will have the attention of the national media. Floyd has been deliberately coy about his choice of opponent. But rest assured, it will be Guerrero. He is just waiting for Super Bowl weekend to announce. Posted January 31, 2013 1:48 pmJPWho cares? Posted January 31, 2013 1:45 pmBartWHO Really Cares? Posted January 31, 2013 1:39 pmAnonymousMayweather will be sharper than efr against Guerrero!! Posted January 31, 2013 1:29 pmPapoIt’s all about the money, that’s why a Robert Guerrero fight would make the most sense for May 4. This guaranties a nice payday for Floyd with a very low risk of losing the fight. At the same time, add Canelo to the same card against another low-risk fighter and be prepared for a sell-out pay-per-view event. And then, on September 14, it will be Floyd against Canelo for a much bigger pay-per-view event and add Timothy Bradley in a rematch against Pac and/or throw Sergio Martinez in the mix. Posted January 31, 2013 1:27 pmRemI like this fight it will be a good one. With no shoulder roll and a tad slower lateral movement Floyd will stand in the pocket and fight Guerrero. Perfect fight for Floyd it will be another crowd pleaser and Floyd will win because Guerrero doesnt have the tools to beat him. Btw still think Pac does have the tools to smoke Floyd and this fight will help size up that matchup even better. Pac is still the best fight for Floyd at a fair weight. Dudes saying Martinez, Trout and Canelo their much bigger than Floyd and he has no chance of beating Martinez at or Trout at jmw. Posted January 31, 2013 1:16 pmKOrnermanMy money is on Guerrero, he’s on a crest of a wave and Interim champ to Floyds title and American Mexican and hes’ hungry, makes sense in every department. Posted January 31, 2013 1:07 pmfockerWithout Pacquiao to hype Floyd’s fight, there’s no surprise that his next fight will not gross more that one million PPV buys.
