Ortiz is a certified weirdo, Guerrero been plying his trade for a long time and needed to cash in after the Berto W

Yeah, I'm just going to roll with I don't think this is "close to being a done deal" as reports are indicating, I'm aware where there's smoke there's fire but this doesn't really make sense. Now if they both went out and killed their next opponents then had a rematch in the 4th quarter of next year, they'd generate a lot more viewers/buzz, IMO.
Yea, that's why I really don't understand him taking the rematch right now. Maybe he just doesn't want to wait around until next May or he knows he'll have to compete with Amir/Devon winner for a few months and wants to stay active *shrugs* who knows.

Yeah what does Garcia have to lose by going against one of the GOAT? He'd have ZERO expectations and if he can give Floyd a good fight then it only works in his favor for the future. You have to go at the best while they're still out there at some point. That'd be a great look for him eventually, as if Money wouldn't pick apart ANYBODY in this classRooting for Danny since he's a Philly kid. I PRAY my dude B-Hop doesn't try and get in the ring with Floyd man, not at this age :x :x
I'm sure Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero and now Canelo Alvarez all had the same idea. It's nice to not be expected to win but I'm sure these boxers aren't going in there to simply concede to Mayweather. Besides the payday I see no real reason to destroy your psyche and halt whatever momentum you had built up in your career to that point. It takes a lot to come back from that first decisive loss.
I don't think this is gonna mess up Canelo's psyche though....Ortiz didn't even get a full fight w/ the headbutts
Canelo's like my age he's got a long career ahead of him just wasn't ready for Floyd. Garcia isn't likely ready either but would you rather get him while you're young and have time on your hands (Garcias like 24-25 right?) and have even a tiiiiiiiiiiiny chance of getting a W that would bring you so much shine and spotlight or keep fighting guys you're better then? I guess if I'm them and I'm riding momentum and being undefeated and the opportunity presents itself, I say why not? I figure itd be best to go into Floyd while you're feeling somewhat unbeatable and its not like the chance to fight him will come around too often imo Canelo is gonna be fine, hes a very good young fighter....May is just beyond elite and its gonna be tough for anybody..so why not take the payday and give it your best shot? I guess one benefit is you're not going against a heavy hitter who will drop you with massive power Floyd will just dip all your blows and make you seem like your feet are in mollasses I'd take it on if I were them, but I see your points

Yep. There has to be something we don't know. Like Money's camp straight said no or maybe in my second fight next year. Then he has to find another option....and to his credit...id like to see a part 2 I'm sure other boxing fans would too. But from a career standpoint it doesn't seem like the logical next fight

Only time will tell... But I doubt they go right back into it.. Maybe down the road if they both go up to 147 and get some fights under them I think then I can see a rematch.

Shame we didn't get a B-Hop and RJJ rematch in their respective primes. Almost as sad as the missed PBF/Manny opportunity.

The 2010 fight does not count in my eyes. Washed up RJJ.
What's good with Bad Intentions Taylor?

I'm telling u only dude who has a chance right now against mayweather would be b-hop. He can box and gets under your skin. Also maybe ward, but they're in different divisions6 punches landed over the course of 12 rounds.

Anybody think Ward and Mayweather would agree to a 158 lb catchweight? I'd like to see it.

I'd be surprised if Floyd fights above 147 again.

PBF/No Doubt Trout. I'd buy tickets ASAP.

I want to see that too, but it wont happen because Trout is not Latino and he's a harder style for Floyd.

You're saying that Floyd won't fight Black boxers anymore?

He probably would consider it if the opponent is a big draw and not that hard to beat. But he'd prefer to fight Hispanics or Latinos because of the money it brings.

Aren't that many top Latinos anymore...
Danny's on the rise, but not ready for that.
Canelo still top dog but.... Well.. We just saw what happened
MAC won't get another shot he's on the down end of his career I expect him to get one more big shot, prolly vs Canelo next year...
Idk who Floyd is looking to fight now....

Garcia doesn't have a native Puerto Rican following like Cotto does. The biggest "draw" for Mayweather now is Amir Khan. I think he fights Khan next and waits for Garcia to become a bigger name.

Exactly what I think happens. I spoke with my fam out in Arecibo over the weekend and they're really excited about Danny but he's relatively knew to them. He'll catch on to them if he keeps winning, possibly rock a PR flag on his shorts and they'll notice

I concur with this statement. I started last summer and train when I can, but I can honestly say it feels so good. At first I was very very stiff, but a few months into it I finally learned to relax and breathe properly. Happy to see other people giving the sport a try. I knew it was tough, but actually trying it out is a whole different story.

how about getting hit in the face constantly? That doesn't bother u? I'm out of shape right now and would love to start amateur fighting but as I've mentioned multiple times in this thread I don't know how I'd feel about getting hit or hitting someone(I'm not a weak dude lol, I'd feel terrible sending a guy to the hospital)

They've done a poor job of marketing him, probably because they didn't think he was going to amount to much. Ironically his dad is helping him a great deal in that area.
