mayweather just toys with canelo. The disparity in skill is obvious

I didn't even think that canelo won a round

I just don't understand why Mayweather is scared of Pacquiao when he got the skills to beat every boxer in the planet. His defense is the one of the most perfect defense in the history of boxing together with his IQ, quickness and counter-punching and his ability to adapt to his opponent' style inside the ring. He maybe not a strong puncher but his boxing abilities are the one that takes his opponents to school.

Tbh, I thought Canelo to be the toughest opponent he'd realistically fight. I do think Canelo took this fight 2 years too early though. I think he's a great talent but he's definitely got a lot of work ahead of him. We'll see how Pac looks after his fight with Brandon Rios this November. It could still be an interesting fight. I'd like to see how Sergio looks next year though. I didn't like how he looked against Martin Murray. He had surgery prior to that fight, and then reinjured himself. If he's the Sergio of old, that's still a great fight to be made too.

People may not like him as a person, but he is a true professional when it comes to boxing.

What would be the toughest unrealistic fight? Broner?

I dunno, Andre Ward? That'd definitely be a chess match between two grand masters. Broner I think has a few holes in his game that he'd need to patch up. I thought he got hit a little too much by Paulie. If that was someone who had some power, who knows how the fight would have played out. I'm interested in seeing if Broner can adapt to a world class opponent who has his respect.

Speaking of Broner, he's gonna be fighting Maidana. That could be an either extremely exciting fight, or a speed mismatch. Probably the latter, but Maidana does have that power to really test Broner's chin and will to win.

Pac still trying to wake up from getting knocked the fuck out by the guy Money toyed around with, so i don't imagine that fight being to attractive to Mayweather. Actually, I'm not sure it has the same attraction to anyone else anymore.

Martinez is out. I don't think Mayweather will move up that much weigh so late in his career. Martinez ain't gonna move down either and even a catchweight would be too much for either of them.

Aside, any answers for Mayweather has to come from guys of the lower weigh classes. Bigger guys don't have the speed, and if they have to fight catchweight they won't have the stamina either. He's too efficient.

I'm just thinking fantasy fight

Not anyone giving weight advantages. Rigo might make an interesting fight to Floyd too in a fantasy match. He's a master in his own right. In the weight classes Mayweather sits in though, I don't really see anymore challenges.

Edit: You know, if Khan had a chin, that could be an excellent fight.
