Fans react to Floyd Mayweather Jr. making his pick of match-ups

He tweeted, “Errol Spence vs Terence Crawford
Devin Haney vs Shakur Stevenson
Gervonta Davis vs Teofimo Lopez
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk
Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder”

Some fans were satisfied with the majority of the aforementioned matchups Yet, a section of boxing fans were quick to pinpoint what according to them is wrong with the list.

One fan likes the list but not in its entirety. @Lakers_310: “Like this list but why not Tank vs Haney or Shakur? Rather see Teo vs Haney and Tank vs Shakur.. If Teo, Tank and Haney win of course cuz all three have tough opps ahead of them.”

Another fan mentioned his disaffection with one of the match-ups. @Cronus1xx: “Why would we want to see Joshua Vs wilder. Wilder kos him inside 1 round.”

Meanwhile, one fan alleged that Mayweather doesn’t want to see his former fighter who once fought under his promotion  square off with Shakur Stevenson. @LVSportsDalton: “Lmaoooo of course he doesn’t wanna see Tank fight Haney or Shakur”

One fan named @FitLyfeApparel stated, “Nobody asking to see Davis vs Lopez give us Davis vs Stevenson”

On the contrary, one fan has no problems with the list. @BoxingShrew: “So basically the same as everyone else”
