There remains only one good option.Quote:

Not the least bit optimistic that either will ever happen though.
Berto is definitely *not* a good option. I'd rather see Kahn come up to 147 than see that.
I agree with this post completely. However i don't see Floyd stepping up to fight Martinez. He's to dangerous for Floyd and i can't see Floyd going up to 154.Quote:

Pacquiao or bust. I'm not interested in seeing him fight anyone else.
Pacquiao, Martinez, Khan or Bradley
Same here. If not Pac then I don't particularly want to see him again. It's pointless him fighting and not being tested (I'm not talking needles here).Quote:

I doubt he'll ever fight anybody again who could hurt him. He loves his record too much!
No Khan v Mayweather, No Pacquiao v Mayweather etc etc.
Guess we'll find out in 16 months!
Same could be said about Pac, I'd be interested in Khan or Bradley & if a Martinez fight somehow miraculously happened I'd be stoked!Quote:

I was thinking of 154, but there's no one that he get credit for imo. Cotto already got owned by Pac, maybe Angulo but Cintron showed him up. Williams? I doubt it after his fight with Lara. Lara or Trout? Attractive hardcore fan match-ups but both are probably to green & all the haters would chastise Mayweather for fighting either of those 2.Quote:

But Martinez at 154 would be awesome!
Agreed, these are the only fighters worth seeing him in with. Anyone else forget it.Quote:

Saul Alvarez @ 154.
Alvarez is a beast!
Don't get me wrong I like Alvarez but I think Trout would hand him his ass!Quote:

Still time to improve! He won't even have peaked when Mayweather retires!
Yeah your right he is only young, but I think he still needs a few more fights. Maybe guys like Carlos Molina, Wolak or Alcine before jumping to the Angulo's or Cotto'sQuote:

if the pac fight don't happen then I would like to see Martinez - but lets face it thats not going to happen either
so after that I honestly have to say I want to see him in with Khan. Soon. I would be worried that he would get 'old' in the ring and Khan would beat him but after Saturday I doubt that.
It has the potential to happen in the UK and would sell wembley, would give UK fans a chance to see a legend (regardless of what you think of him) in the ring and would bea good opportunity to see Khan get a hiding.
Makes sense if no Pac
Pacquiao or Khan are the only fights that would provide any interest to me. Martinez too but I don't really see that as realistic.
Pacquiao.
Martinez at a catchweight.
Khan and Bradley does not belong to his level nor his weight division. These two may be competitive only if Floyd goes down to their weight, otherwise forget it.
^^^^Khan has been asking Mayweather for a fight, Khan said he'll go up!
I think Khan might be a good match for him, speed & skill wise!
Why not Cotto? People been saying Floyd avoided Cotto at 140. Cotto got a new trainer and a title(like that really mean something). And please don't say because Pacman whip him already!!! Cause Pacman got a few opponents on his record that Floyd whip before Pacman fought them.
Why not Margarito? People said Floyd avoided Margarito. It's that famous youtube when Margarito ask for a fight. And for a person that never made a miliion dollars at the time, suppose to had offer Floyd around 7 million to fight. And he's going to beat Cotto in their rematch.
People are saying Khan but Peterson is not going to be an easy fight.
Pacman vs Floyd, IMO, will not be next. Its still more build up they going to do to get $100 million. Pacman already started the promo saying he will retire to run for Vice President of Pacland. And with Floyd taking long breaks, we simply don't know if he's going to retire or not. Which will have us all over the internet asking where's Floyd.
IMO, Pacman defeats JMM but not so impressively. Floyd says his lip still have a hole in it. Pacman signs to fight Alvarez at a 150 catchweight. Sidenote: If Alvarez don't throw punches like against Gomez, Pacman will win that fight. Anyways, Floyd sees that Martinez had a tough fight and follow Pacman with a catchweight offer at 150 for Martinez. Both superstars loses and boxing continue.
;D
There isn't anyone at welterweight worth fighting other than Pacquiao. Assuming Pacquiao gets by Marquez, and Arum signs Bradley, I imagine the plan is to have Bradley face Pacquiao next leaving Floyd without an opponent. Khan?
You won't hear from him for another 16 months!
That's where he goes!
Because they're both shot fighters who are several rungs below the level it takes to make a halfway enticing fight. Those were BS fights already when Pac took them -- particularly Margarito on the heels of getting exposed as a cheater, beat up and KO'd by a shot Mosely.Quote:

Floyd should fight Pac Man or Matinez that would truly enhance his legacy should he beat Manny or Sergio. However Floyd will probably go for an easier challenge. Neither Floyd or Pac Man should fight Khan or Bradley, it needs to be legitimate welterweights but other than Berto there is very little out there that is ready.
Spot on, maybe the winner of there fight gets a step closerQuote:

Your right about there being very little at 147, but I'd put Bradley & Khan on level with Berto if not higher & those 2 would be bigger fights than with the likes of Senchenko or Jones who are legit weltersQuote:
