I'm hearing rumors that Mayweather's next opponent will be...

dun dun dun dun · 07-31-2006, 07:08 PM

Cory "Next Generation" Spinks. Any thoughts?

~OMagic~ · 07-31-2006, 07:13 PM

As of now the only two options really would be Baldomir and Spink.

To be the true welterweight champ hed have to face Baldomir... which would be very easy.

A spinks fight would prolly pull in more money and viewers... another easy fight, spinks would run his ass off and prolly lose by UD 120-108.

No matter who he faces you knows haters gonna still hate

R3flex · 07-31-2006, 07:58 PM

I heard Baldy. A Blady fight would make more sense. Take the titles in November, fight someone early next year as a tune-up (Spinks perhaps) for a possible fight against Oscar or Shane. But then that would stack the odds against Floyd by forcing him to travel between divisions. I mean, he said he would like to do it to cement his legacy by dominating multiple divisions, but it could be his downfall.

I heard the Spinks fight would probably be in February of next year.

~OMagic~ · 07-31-2006, 10:49 PM

Yea... Floyd wanted

Nov vs Shane at 147
Feb vs Spinks at 154 (tune up)
May vs De La Hoya at 154

But now that Shane is being a bitch it will prolly be Baldy in Nov or Spinks

And I think Floyds only downfall could be trying to fight too big of a fighter, but Id never count him out

07-31-2006, 11:29 PM

shane doesnt wanna take floyd first because he might whoop floyd before oscar and oscar is his boss...and oscar wants the top dog first.

see they are planning to build floyd up they want floyd to fight some better fighters so the mass public can know him so he makes a name amongst the mainstream so when he fights oscar the fight will be super huge...

so it would be pointless to put shane in there early cause shane can actually have a chance to knock floyd out....if you dont think so look how slow floyd was with zab judah...

the fights floyd will have to take will be

baldomir
margarito
sphinks

before he fights oscar or shane.

Teen Prodigy · 07-31-2006, 11:53 PM

That fight will be easy.

Floyd will be forced to lead, and he'll kill Spinks with quickness.

It's a match-up of skill vs. skill, but Mayweather has more of them.

dun dun dun dun · 08-01-2006, 12:20 AM

I hear now that he's finalizing a deal with Baldomir for November. Just make the fight already, Floyd!

The real reason Shane isnt gonna fight him is cuz of his wife Jin Mosley... she wont let him yet.

and Floyd would punish Shane

hhaha jin mosley his irish korean wife she is the boss thats funny when floyd said that about shane, saying i have to talk to jin first becaue she wears the pants in the family.

but floyd would not punish shane man it would be a pick um fight...shane is not zab judah shane has some damn good hand speed even faster then floyds hands...but floyd has the all around skill but who knows man heck shane can surprise you hell dont tell me he didnt surprise you when he knocked vargas down hard with that left hook?

shane hasnt knocked a guy out since 2001 and that is a long time ago.

speak · 08-01-2006, 01:28 AM

im tried of hearing of floyd fucking mayweather....hes following in roy jones footsteps as of late.

is he the best pound for pound fighter....yea...but lets face it tools aside...he hasnt fought anyone of worth since he beat the likes of diego corrales, jesus chavez, and carlos hernandez...

if he beats oscar or shane at this point it will mean nothing...nothing at all...they are names that will generate dollars but are way past their primes...

He is more concerned with being on bet's how im living than he is figthing the people that are true challanges...

As a TRUE boxing fan i dont care about watching fraud mayweather fight spinks or mosely... Floyd is brilliant but is becomming a complacent belt collector simple as that!!

If floyd wants to be welterweight champ he needs to fight baldimor or Antonio Margarito (he turned down 8 mil to fight him, thats bullshit)

IF he wants to be jr middleweight champ he needs to fight kassim ouma or winky..not spinks

If Floyd wants to be welterweight champion, he needs to beat Baldomir. It's true that he should fight Margarito for a $8 million payday, but who has Margarito fought? No one.

If he wants to be junior middleweight champion, he doesn't need to fight Ouma or Wright. Wright doesn't even fight at 154 and Spinks just beat the consensus #1 ranked junior middleweight, Roman Karmazin, a fighter who totally dominated Ouma.

veral conflict · 08-01-2006, 02:02 AM

i read on another message board.. that baldomir trainer was on radio announcing the fight with floyd.. i dont know if it is official..

~OMagic~ · 08-01-2006, 03:19 AM

Ok so everything speak said is irrelevant.

Nigga said hed have to fight WINKY to be the 154 champ... lol since when has Winky been the 154 champ?!?!?!

Shane vs. Floyd would be good... Shane vs. Oscar would be good...

Those are the only fight I could think of that would pose a threat... I still got Floyd winning.

Shane is kinda over rated right now due to the fact that Vargas was so damn shot, and Vargas being so slow made his speed look even faster.

But yea Shane is fast... but not as fast on his feet as Floyd

Beat me to it.

Winky hasn't been champ at 154 since he beat Mosely in 2004. His next 2 fights were eliminators, he got a draw in his last fight, a title fight, with Taylor.

Veral Conflict, could you link me to that site where the trainer said they were persuing a Mayweather fight?

i think in pure athletics shane is the superior athlete to floyd...floyd even said it himself their are fighters who are faster, stronger then me but none is smarter and more tactical then me...

shane has the handspeed and the foot speed.

but we know he welll he aint that smart...everyone seen him telling his dad "but dad it aint working" lol

but still you cant count out shane he might get lucky and land a blind left hook who knows thats why i love the sport of boxing anything can happen.

~OMagic~ · 08-01-2006, 01:51 PM

bwa hahahaha im still trippin off dude who said WINKY is the 154 champ

08-01-2006, 06:59 PM

lol pinky plight...i cant stand winky that dude talks funny to like he always hungry lol slurping his saliva slightly and shit lol...talking all fast.

winky has a cavemans brow too is he part aboriginie?

Winky was the recognized jr. middleweight champ up untill he fought jermain taylor. When he fought tito, solimon, and taylor he was billed as the universally recognized jr middleweight champ.

Plus there were talks of floyd calling out winky...the min winky called him on it and offered to fight him at a catch weight floyd backed away for the challange.
