Who Next For Floyd Mayweather?


After the ‘money’ kept his unbeaten record intact after claiming a majority point’s decision over Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the question is who is next for Floyd Mayweather? An obvious choice would be Amir Khan after his impressive points win over Luis Collazo. And since Mayweather chose to fight Maidana instead of Khan this time round you would assume that Khan has now placed himself in prime position to be Floyd’s next opponent. There has also been talk of a rematch with Maidana, which for Mayweather would be a safer fight as he already has the formula to beat the Argentine and would surely take a step closer to retiring with that perfect record. However if Mayweather is to retire as one of the greatest boxers of all time then he needs to retire with no question marks over him in terms of avoiding fights, so the Khan fight has to happen. Then there are possible fights with Manny Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley and Danny Garcia, with all of these fights having the potential to trouble Mayweather. Ultimately Mayweather will fight who he wants and there is no doubt that he is one of the most talented and gifted fighters of all time. If he is to make it to retirement still unbeaten and fought at least two of the fighters above then he will without doubt go down as one of the greatest of all time or maybe even ‘the greatest’ although that statement will cause arguments for generations.
