Mayweather's talking like he wants Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield, 2 obvious outclassed and outmatched opponents.

Canelo and Cotto is being negotiated into oblivion.

Bradley is calling out Golovkin.

Golovkin calling out the world.

Ward practically calling Golovkin a fake bitch.

Kovalev calling out Ward.

Shannon Briggs going LET'S GO CHAMP on Klitschko.

Roman Gonzalez basically owning flyweight division.

Broner/Porter II being negotiated, I think.

Paging Marciano.

Cotto/Canelo seems the most realistic out of any fight that people would want to see.

what's today? Tuesday, June 30?

I think the next fight should be Vyacheslav Shabranskyy vs Paul Parker on Fox Sports 1.

Not saying all of these fights will happen, but they should....

Cotto-Canelo
Kovalev-Ward
Frampton-Quigg (assuming Quigg beats Martinez)
Wilder-Povetkin
Klitschko-Fury



Fights I think could/will happen but not until next year:

Chocolatito-Inoue
Golovkin-Lemieux/Lee

He's doing that to get under Amir Khan's skin. Berto and Mayfield are Khan's sparring partners. It's basically Floyd's way of saying "Amir, your sparring partners are better than you".

Broner needs to be on Spike TV or BET going forward. Get this clown off of premium and network tv.

Best boxer on the planet right now

Cotto/Canelo will be a good fight. GGG destroys anyone they put in front of him. Floyd ain't fighting no one that's a threat. Pac will kill Paulie if he's healthy.

Vlad is in a class by himself right now. Wilder just needs experience with someone that can hit back.

Why in the hell would Porter fight Floyd lite again?

Would like to see Spence vs Thurman later this year. Also would like to see the 2 young Puerto Rican stars Verdejo and Pedraza fight, maybe early next year. I think Mares vs Russell Jr would be a good fight too.

Wilder/Klitschko .... Would give Klitschko the opportunity to unify the heavyweight belts.

Riiiiiight. That's why the two highest paid entertainers in the world are boxers, from TWO months ago.

And neither one of them will ever come close to making that much again. Neither will any other boxer for the forseeable future.

ZOMG a fighter won't make $80 million per fight. Boxing is dead. Sound logic.

No idea...

I'm not a huge boxing fan, but Mayweather vs GGG would be awesome and a fight a lot of people want. Of course that's assuming that GGG would drop weight and Mayweather agrees to fight him, but 1 of those things is easy said than done. And GGG already said he would drop weight no problem to fight Floyd, so that's obviously not it

There is no upside for Mayweather in a fight vs GGG.

GGG isn't going to be some huge payday that he can't get elsewhere. If Mayweather beats a drained GGG then he gets no credit for it. If he loses then his 0 is gone.
