Roger Mayweather wants Floyd to fight Bradley, JMM and Pacman

[Kirkland Laing]

Marinez says he'll come down to 154 to fight Floyd but Martinez is busy until next year. This year Floyd actually looks like he'll fight Guerrero and Canelo. Bradley is the only other serious option for the first fight but he's just about to sign to fight somebody else. And Schaefer says he's doing the Guerrero/Canelo contracts all at the same time as Canelo wants it in writing that he gwets the Mayweather fight before he agrees to be on the same bill/PPV.

So if Floyd announces a fight against Guerrero/somebody else but not against Canelo then you know the Canelo fight isn't happening, at least right now. I think they'll both get announced soon though. After the Superbowl is over probably.

Martinez is the best option. The Ring Magazine conducted a poll of fights the public most wanted to see in 2013, other than Marquez-Pacquiao V, Floyd-Martinez was the most desired fight. Martinez isn't obligated to Junior this year, especially if Floyd was the option. He isn't promoted by Top Rank or Zanfer. He isn't a big enough name to require too much money. Floyd has fought twice at 154 and presumably would do it again with Canelo. He's fought at a catchweight before (Marquez) so he shouldn't be opposed to doing it at a catchweight against Martinez, say at 157.

Trout had an easier time with Cotto than Floyd. Cotto was Floyd's last opponent. Trout is the consensus number 1 in the junior middleweight division. He's the next best option to face Floyd.

Canelo needs more seasoning before he faces Floyd. However, if push came to shove, Canelo would be the third best option for Floyd.

Golovkin came in at 158 for Rosado. He's also a good fight for Floyd at a catchweight.

You catch my drift. Unfortunately for Floyd, there is no welterweight or junior welterweight that presents a compelling matchup for Floyd right now. Of course, I'll still buy fights that aren't compelling with Floyd in them. Floyd's the best and I love his display of the sweet science.

Martinez is the best option for us fans but not for Floyd and his bank balance -risk/reward.
