He's had 6 months to pick a fight, stop acting like he's being forced to fight Devon Alexander because there's no-one else available haha.
It's a joke fight and Floyd is rightly being criticized by his own fans for it.
Of course you're defending his choice of opponent haha. As for Floyd having his 'haters', as I've said, go to the Boxing forums and look at how his own fans are berating him.leighton said:conormcfc said:Mayweather could be fighting Junior Witter and you'd still defend it leighton.

Floyd will always have his haters no matter what. I am not defending his choice of fighters but I can see with the bigger names all fighting theres not a lot you can do about it. Why not moan about Mathinez fighting Martin Murray or Bradley for his fight?? Yet because its Money you will moan about him not fighting whoever it is.
Conor who would you want to see Money fight. The Pacman fight is gone. So who should he go for as a fight. Money is going to go down with greats that have laced them up no matter what you think he is technically 1 of the best I have ever seen.
Martinez or Trout (more so Martinez) would give him loads of problems at 154 I reckon. Mayweather hasn't looked convincing at that weight.bluemc1 said:theres only 1 fight id like to see mayweather have and thats canelo, he beats all the others easily so im not to fussed who he fights out of the rest in the run up to that one
Gonna be a difficult fight therefore don't take it, you said it, that's the Mayweather way alright. Imagine if Sugar Ray Leonard had that attitude. Suppose that's what separates the good from the great.leighton said:Golden boy wont rush Canelo in with Money. I am guessing that might be Moneys last fight. A changing of the guard type of fight. They could well have anyone fighting Money and it will be the same result as he is just a level above most fighters.
As for a Marthinez fight I just think for Money it might well be a step too far for him to go up and do well and troble Marthinez. It would be a great fight to see but it would be more of Money trying to use his boxing to win as he wouldnt have the power to stop Mathinez at that weight level. I wouldnt mind seeing Marthinez v Chavez Jnr again.

for me anyone who was already a boxing fan will never start to watch UFC instead, just my opinion but i can't see a UFC fight where from what i have seen the most part is spent rolling on the floor ever coming close to a Barrera v Morales, Gatti v Ward or Castillo v Corrales, this isnt a pop at UFC as its clearly very popular

For anyone who's a boxing fan correct.
However for new fans, the new heros might be UFC guys, but you are right can't beat a good tear up!

How can you say you're not defending Mayweather then come out with the same nonsensical excuse 3 times?leighton said:conormcfc said:Gonna be a difficult fight therefore don't take it, you said it, that's the Mayweather way alright.

Well he cant take that fight because Marthinez is already fighting. What can he do.
Also a lot of people are jumping the gun I heard that Brook v Alexander will be made for the 27th of April and it is on a good card. Going by Eddie Hearns twitter he was saying thats the most likely date for the fight to be made. On the same bill as Danny Garcia v Zab Judah and Peter Quillin v Fernado Guererro.
Money may well be using Alexander in a way to do a cheap deal with another fighter saying he is close to terms with Alexander may well have been a smokescreen for another fight and a way of pushing the other fight on.
