By Nayal Khan: With Floyd Mayweather Jr’s Showtime/CBS 6-fight contract already underway with a bang, here’s a closer look at the likely 5 remaining opponents:
Next fight for Sept ’13 – is likely to be a rematch with Miguel Cotto. It’s next to impossible for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez to get the fight and especially after throwing a hissy fit in refusing to take part in the Mayweather – Robert Guerrero undercard. I would expect Canelo to be sidelined until 2015 i.e. the back end of Mayweather’s 6 fight commitment. It is also impossible for any fights to happen with Top Rank’s fighters for obvious reasons that include Showtime/ HBO and Golden Boy/ Top Rank rivalry… so bye bye Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao (for now).
