Poll: Who Should Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight?

By , About.com GuideMarch 25, 2009

Follow me on:

Any doubt that Floyd Mayweather Jr. would eventually end his "retirement" and return to the ring has basically been erased. Floyd's talking about a summer tune-up before moving on to a big money fight. The possibility of such a bout seems remote as Floyd probably doesn't believe he'll have any ring rust after nearly two years out of the ring ... and he definitely doesn't see himself fighting in anything but big pay-per-view events.

So let's assume he approaches the remainder of his career one big event at a time. If he's coming back for just one fight, who should he fight? We quickly came up with six great options:

Miguel Cotto
Ricky Hatton
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley
Manny Pacquiao
Paul Williams

Who do you want to see Mayweather fight? Vote in our poll.

I think he should fight EMANUEL AUGUSTUS again!!!!!! I think Emanuel deserves the chance for a big money fight and deserves the chance to re-match Floyd, go the distance, WIN and probably still get robbed but hey…

I think he comes back knocks out Manny then decisions Cotto and then knocks out Shane Mosley and then let him takes Marquez down with a Body shot by the eigth round for a tko and then knock out Anderson Silva then retire permanenetly as the worlds first “Undisputed” “Pound for Pound” baddest Brotha ta ever throw down! (Aside from my main lil homie who needs no intro, “Pensacola in the Haus”…”GONE AND WALK ROY”"!!!!

For the comment above….I love Floyd Mayweather JR, but you sir know little about boxing. Yes I think Floyd could beat Sugar Shane, but knock him out! You’re crazy man.

I think Floyd could whip Suagr the exact samew way we whipped Gotti, “Mercilessly” if he decided to. I think boxing politics would save Sugar due to Goldenboy and how few truly interesting fights there really are out there, but Shane just got caught using steroids last year, steroids stay in your system for six months, thats why shanes speed and power are up. As long as he stays in the spotlight he wont have a chance to juice up again and a Mayweather fight could end suagars career, and could certainly end in a knockout. You my friend are the one who knows little about boxing. Get your skills up Jigga*

I think that mayweather woud probably win a decision over mosley and probably over marquez (at this point) but there is no man alive right now who can contest manny pacquiauo. Hard to say right now about cotto. I’m worried the margarito incident may have wrecked him. But one thing is for certain. Floyd would not beat any of these guys badly (except of course hatton). I’m a big fan of Emanuel Burton (Augustus) also but he is a bit too old to give floyd a really hard time.

TRUST ME…Emanuel Augustus is NOT old!!! He’s still got it..
