By Diarmuid Sherry: After dominating both Robert Guerrero and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) in this latest stage of his career, confirming his supremacy in both the welterweight and light-middleweight divisions as well as the sport in general, the questions now concerning fight fans is “Who does Floyd Mayweather fight next?”
Mayweather is targeting a May return to the ring, and seemingly has a number of contenders vying to share the space in between the ropes with. Indeed, this is in vast contrast from 6 months ago, post-Guerrero fight, where it was felt that Canelo was simply the only option for Mayweather’s next fight, since not only did it make financial and competitive sense, but the relative failure of the PPV numbers for Showtime Sports meant that Mayweather’s opponent choice was some what forced upon him by the television executives of Showtime, wishing to get a better return from their costly investment.
