I still think Chavez is going to bail on Martinez and Floyd/Martinez is what I'd like to see. Have to admit though that since the new same day weigh in is not actually a same day weigh in Chavez may actually go through with it. We could end up with Cotto/Floyd 2.
I still think Alvarez is the most likely opponent. It just won't be in November.

Maybe he will fight Bradley -- would be an easy night, almost a tune-up.

Of course, I'd rather see him fight Martinez than anything else; and a win over Chavez might raise Martinez's profile sufficiently for Floyd to make it happen (as perverse as that is).
I just don't know whether Oscar would even entertain that one. I'm hearing rumours that Floyd may also be severing his ties with Oscar and is going to align with 50's new promotional company.

Bradley would be ok I guess but he's an Arum fighter and Arum knows he'd be a heavy bag. Cotto could not even get Floyd until he left TR.
