Floyd: "If it's Pacquiao, it's Pacquiao. If it's Amir Khan, it's Amir Khan."

Neither I'd like to see him fight Bradley,GGG @154, Thurman later on if Thurman gets that broner fight and wins . ,Garcia after and WW fight or 2. Miguel cotto rematch. Lara. There are options. Him and manny was the fight I wanted after Floyd came out of his 21 month layoff and beat Marquez. Of course I know Floyd only fights 4 more times so I would rather Bradley ,Garcia Thurman ,GGG

id like it to be one of kahn or pac

id probably rather see the khan fight happen in britain

yeah Pac has been looking shit lately so no surprise to me that Floyd finally wants to fight him... it just speaks volumes on why the fight wasn't made sooner and whose fault it really was. :-\

C'mon @Saddo, you can't say "I don't want Olympic Style Testing because I'm afraid of needles and I don't want Blood taken throughout my training because I'll be drained" and really want the fight. Now that he's lost he's all for Olympic testing. I'm not being funny but for $100m they can shove that needle down my Japs Eye every week and I'd still get in the ring. They're both as bad as each other. It just depends on the day and who is putting across the most ludicrous excuse.

Plus neither one of them has said they want the fight. Just that they're open to it. Whenever Pacquiao is directly asked he says he leaves it to his promotor. Floyd just dodges the question by saying"I'll sit down with my team". It's all a load of shit.

I hope it's pacman would love to see that if it happens floyd gets his 1st ko in years

His next fight will be Khan then Pacquiao in September.

I don't mind watching the Khan fight just to see Khan knocked out.

If Mayweather can clamour to fight Khan after the Khan losses, especially his last loss, he can fight Manny after Manny's loss.

That, Zero, is very important to Floyd! I doubt we see him in there with Thurman or GGG. It's not that I don't think Floyd would win, it's just that there are much easier pickings.
Manny for sure is a big money fight, Amir would be huge in the UK--much less in the US--Bradley or Garcia would be big too.
Let's face it, when Floyd fights it's a big fight no matter the opponent. Just don't forget how important that Zero is to Floyd.

Its funny because not to long ago I would have mocked that a bit. I would have said nobody in history has ever moved up like that and gotten that much stronger, faster and better overall. The punching power and workrate also gave me a red flag. Its just that this fight failing even though I expected it has really forced me to take a step back over the long haul and remove the remnants of my rose coloured glasses. They are all most likely cheating including dare I say Mr. Clean Floyd Mayweather.

I'm starting to think the whole thing was a rouse after taking a step back and looking at the evidence with the benefit of hindsight. I don't think Floyd wanted to fight him at that time even though I still believe he would have beat him. And I cant help but compare it to Leonard/Duran1 and they even did it in Montreal. There was no internet then but the boxing world would have went loppy had the first fight never taken place.

The Jamaican sprint team is randomly tested more then anyone else on earth and they are never dirty. I think its safe to assume that if they have access to that kind of chemistry so do Manny and Floyd or anybody else that has the cash. It just looks like an elaborate bluff and lets face Manny is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No reasonable objective person can say that Floyd does not see what the rest of the world sees which is that Manny is on the slide and may be desperate for the payday. Leonard saw that Duran was having weight issues and that's why he got the second fight 6 months after the first.

I think floyds got more power than people think. He's had his fair share of KOs it's just that he usually fights above his weight class he's a true 140er and guys like pacman who come out all guns blazing will play right into floyds hands, if the fight happens I'll be putting a bet on floyd by ko

I'd rather see him in there with Bradley or Garcia. Those fights make more sense.

Mosely said floyd hits as hard as canelo.

I seen a video ages ago on YouTube were mosely said floyd and pacman have around the same power.

It's sad that now that Shane Mosley is thought of as a human punching bag and talks about who hit him harder or who beat him up worse lol.

Shane can take a good beating due to the steriod abuse.

Out of the 2 choices Pac my a mile ;) Martinez is top of my list ;)

In this day and age...no athlete is beyond suspicion. BUT...some clearly show the use of PED's more blatantly than others. While i don't know for sure if Floyd has used PED's or not...looking at his career he comes across a whole lot suspicious than someone like Pac. Floyd hasn't gotten stronger or faster as he has aged...he didn't go from the lower weight classes to the higher ones and hurt people bigger than him and take punishment from bigger guys without flinching. His body hasn't changed dramatically. He has tremendous pedigree, discipline, and skill. He relies as much on his ring IQ/mental toughness as he does on any physical advantage. Non of that is to say it's impossible that he takes something. But when he asked Manny to take the stringent blood tests and team Pac backed off...that speaks volumes.

Why is Amir Khan even on the radar? He is rubbish and has always been rubbish. He gets knocked out or buzzed in every single fight. It would simply be an excuse for Floyd to stay busy and get a rare stoppage win. If Pac is the second fight then it's practically a year away and Manny is an old speedster. The Manny of 2 years ago is what people wanted, and instead they might be spoonfed a knocked out, more gun shy, old man with serious financial issues. Lewis/Tyson rings a bell.
