fmw hasn't fought a black fighter since old mosley. he's unloading the belts because 147 and 154 are stacked with the wrong kind of opponents for him. 154 WBA mandatory is lara. 154 WBO unification is andrade, 147 lineal unification is brook (actually beatable), and 147 WBA mandatory is thurman. these guys are all fucking killers compared to his twitter options of cotto 2 for a bullshit catch-weight 160 fight, a mir con who won't fight thurman in a mandatory eliminator or fight brook for $8M for the ifb belt and danny garcia who is getting kicked by pretty much any solid 140 fighter now.
it's so ridiculous that fmw's cousin blake tried to sell devon alexander as the black fighter fmw would fight before khan owned him.
i could see this manny shit a mile away. idiots purchased maidana 2 so why not this fraud rematch for 51-0 next may.
fmw is somewhere in the top 20 best ever but damn sure isn't a top 5 with this kind of maneuvering in 147 and 154.
100% nailed it. but Floyd has his bases covered, his ducking and diving in the ring is artistically good but its even better outside the ring!
Lara was beat by Canelo (not imo but Canelo did get the decision and it was close either way) and Floyd embarrassed Canelo so no casual fan or even purist would argue with Lara being avoided.
Andrade imo is his biggest threat outside of GGG and saying threat is probably an understatement because Andrade can genuinely be pound 4 pound top 3 with Rigondeaux and GGG/Lomachenko in a years time.
he has everything to beat Floyd - he's the challenge people thought Canelo or Manny would be.
you don't need little powerhouses who go chasing to beat Floyd, cause they can't. Andrade has the timing, speed, accuracy with his height, reach and power. southpaw + timing, accuracy and reach will give Floyd problems all night.
but again, he's got his bases covered - Andrade hasn't beaten anyone of note. unheard of outside of real fans and payday will be low.
Khan bigger pay day than Thurman (fuck knows why since he's American and surely fans have seen how much of a talent he really is?) and a bigger name.
Floyd is too smart in and out of the ring. beating Khan will appease the casuals and dumbo "experts" who think he is best equipped to beat FMW just like they thought Manny was.
