Please Lock.

I gotta say. Looking back on it, I think this might have been Floyd's easiest fight since Ricky Hatton? JMM?

Canelo, Maidana, Mosley, Cotto, those guys at least touched Floyd up a little bit. Got some shots in.

Don't buy into the hype when the crowd went nuts over Manny flurries. Manny would hit Floyd, go on a flurry where he misses literally every shot, and the crowd went nuts. That's how Manny won two-to-four rounds. But Floyd Mayweather just made the most prolific volume puncher of this generation crumble to his knees. That straight right kept Manny at bay all night. Manny was so clueless out there not being able to throw 100+ punches a round.

I know it may seem dramatic, but it was really easy work for Floyd. At least these other guys facing Floyd had a plan that might rough up PBF.

It wouldn't be surprising to me if in ten years, Floyd says this was his easiest fight of his superstar career (post-DLH). He made Manny look like he didn't even belong in the ring with him.

You take two dudes who know nothing about boxing, know nothing of who Manny or Floyd is, and have them watch this fight, and they'd think that Manny was an amateur in there.

Take note y'all.

#TBE.

:rofl: @ people actually thinking Manny had any kind of chance going into this fight. The only way Manny had a chance was if Floyd was stupid and was reckless. We've never seen it out of him.


On the subject of Mayweather stopping at 49-0? Damn. I find it really hard to believe that he wouldn't want to beat Rocky's record, but we'll see.

If he only has one more fight in him, I'd want to see him fight Khan. I think One Time would be great in like a year or two, but right now he can't beat Floyd. The best chance you have against PBF is to counter his speed. The only guy that can do that is Khan. Regardless of who he fights, he's winning.

Floyd has a very high probability of not just going undefeated throughout his career, but to NEVER taste the canvas. :wow: :smh:

where are you guys watching this?

Post fight conference stream. Other thing worth mentioning is Pacquiao said he hurt his right houlder a few weeks prior and NSAC denied him getting his shot. Looking back, I actually believe it but bringin it up post fight is just pointless.

Not that any of the three will come close but I'll roll with Brook. Khan as we all know is the most likely to get KO'd. Thurman is the future but when Guerrero didn't back down he didn't respond against adversity the way I thought he would. He kind of backed off. I've only seen Brook fight once and his performance against Porter was impressive. But can he make it to fight night without getting maimed?
 
I ddont think speed is the answer bs Floyd. You have to be around an A+ technically and you have to be able to walk thru his counters.

As we ALL know by now, his counters hurt and stop folks in their tracks. And Knowing Khan's chin, more than likely he'all get Ricky hatton'd by a check hook or a catch n shoot Right hand

Actually Hatton did have his moments in that fight, him getting countered and landing on the ropes is the highlight that everybody remembers most though.

I really don't know who would be a good match up for Floyd next.  I'm guessing Khan is most realistic option if Canelo Vs. Cotto is gonna happen.

It would be hard for khan to fight in September coming off ramadan i dont think it can happen in september if he gets a shot

I think khan under virgil hunter. But my post above really hurts it actually taking place
 
Lastly im dissaponted in the lack of class tr and manny had towards floyD. Cant even tip ur hat to the better man and u gotta make excuses . The whole build up was hypocritical as in the end the only one with any class was the champ floyd

Manny is done. These casual fans who paid to watch him fight wont be back to watch him lol i havent paid for a manny fight since cotto
 
Freddie Roach has always been a scumbag and very overrated. He and Manny bought into his lie that Floyd's legs were gone. They literally hoped that Floyd would be more stationary and had no plan b if that wasn't the case. Manny was completely clueless with Floyd's movement and his counter rights had way more power than they thought. That shoulder injury excuse seems bogus to me and typical of Roach and Manny (leg cramp excuse every fight). Of course the casuals and bitter people will never give Floyd credit for this win but what we've witnessed from PBF over the years has been something special.


I also want to add that I believe Parkinson's Disease is tragic and I hope people like Freddie can get better but I think he gets a pass for most of the things he says and does because of the disease.
 
Realistically speaking, if Floyd fights in September like he says who is his last opponent? We know who it won't be:

Canelo rematch - upcoming fight with Kirkland would mean getting right back into camp. Cotto fight to follow.

Cotto rematch - upcoming fight with Geale and a looming bout with Canelo.

Khan - will be observing Ramadan

Pacquiao - not nearly as much money will be made to watch another dusting of Manny.


Who might get their shot at Floyd?

Kell Brook - Ranked as the #2 contender by Ring Magazine at 147 behind Pacquiao IBF champ

Tim Bradley - Ranked #4 by Ring Magazine at 147

Keith Thurman - Ranked #5 by Ring Magazine at 147

Shawn Porter - Ranked #7 at 147 by Ring Magazine

Gennady Golovkin - Top ranked fighter at 160 and said in the past he's willing to move down to 154 to fight Mayweather.

Erislandy Lara - Ranked #2 contender at 154 by Ring Magazine

Demetrius Andrade - Ranked #4 at 154 and WBO champ
 
I think its gonna be Thurman. He's been calling out Floyd for a while and he poses a legit threat. Its an easy fight to make since they're both haymon guys and it can be marketed well with thurman being undefeated w/ power and cause he's so outspoken.. I think if Floyd really does fight in September, the only 2 real options I see are kell brook and thurman
 
It's Khan, it makes sense financially. Maybe he will move his September date to fight him
