By Bob Smith: With the final fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s career fast approaching, and with the news that he selected Andre Berto, many in the commentary business are treating the match with scorn, suggesting that it is an obvious mismatch, that Mayweather is cherry picking again, and that he is too scared to fight Amir Khan (who is supposedly too fast), Keith Thurman (a hungry lion with power and boxing skill) or Kell Brook (boxing skill, undefeated).
Some even suggest that a match with Tim Bradley Jr. would be better (which it would be, by the way). But the most common suggestion is that Mayweather fight WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin at a catch-weight of about 154 pounds.
