quillin653By Al Hmiel: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO’s)) the world’s greatest fighter maybe ever should complete his quest for boxing immortality by pursuing the Championship belt of WBO middleweight champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (30-0, 22 KO’s). Completing a boxing journey of epic accomplishments and collecting boxing Title belts like someone collecting coins, Floyd has established himself as possibly Boxing greatest Warrior of all time.

By capturing the Middleweight belt at 160 lbs gives Floyd Boxing immortality and almost the greatest fame any fighter has ever received. Regardless of the potential $30 million dollar purse beating Quillin is the easiest path to pursuing to the 160lb strap.

Quillin provides Floyd the opportunity to get the Middleweight Championship belt with the least risk to Floyd’s perfect record currently at 45-0. Quillin does not possess the necessary skills of a true Boxing Champion and would provide the opportunity to obtain a diluted Championship belt in the path of least resistance but regardless a 160 lb Title anyway. Quillan is more of a generic champ when compared to Martinez and Golovkin. England’s Barker also falls into the Generic category as another weaker 160lb champion.

Fighting Sergio Martinez probably doesn’t happen as Martinez might never fight again with the skills he used to have and will avoid Floyd. and Fighting Gennady Golovkin is way too risky to Floyd’s perfect record. Golovkin is by far the most lucrative opponent for Floyd but also the most dangerous. Peter Quillin provides Floyd all the necessary ingredients for consummate greatness as Boxing’s all time great fighter and legend.

Quillin is easy to hit and a wild puncher which plays into Floyd’s counter punching style. Also an All American 160 lb title bout with Kid Chocolate has significant financial provisions for both fighters. Martinez and Golovkin both might want to dictate better financial terms for a Mayweather 160 lb Title fight.

Floyd’s astute management team has to realize a Peter Quillin fight is the easiest and best way to pursue the Middleweight Championship belt and also the safest path to Boxing Immortality.
