    No point mentioning Top Rank fighters because that isn't gunna happen.

    1. Robert Guerrero
    2. Saul Alvarez
    3. Devon Alexander
    4. Danny Garcia
    5. Paulie Malignaggi
    6. Amir Khan

    Maybe Berto, Mattheysse, Maidana.

    Kell Brook could end up in the mix too.

    Remember that new stars will emerge over the course of that 6 fight deal.

    Can you see any of the Top Rank promoted guys who are on HBO fighting Floyd now??, this is gonna be a Goldenboy promoted fighter vs Floyd only now. Unless somebody is a free agent.

    1. Guerrero
    2. Canelo if he beats Trout, Big IF as Trout is under-rated
    3. Khan , hopefully in the UK as the fight is much bigger
    4. Alexander-Brook winner, if its Brook it should be in UK as its bigger.

    I wonder if the Showtime contract states the Floyd will have to fight a top 5 fighter in his weight class. If not and his opponent don't matter that, that much to his Showtime paycheck, the list could change BIG TIME!!! Not to mention, all fighters in and around the weight class has a motivation like no other.

    My upsets . . .
    Trout defeats Canelo
    Jcc Jr or 3G or Peter Quillin KO Martinez
    Judah defeats Garcia
    Bradley gets out of his TR contract

    What if . . .
    1.Cotto come back and fight the winner of K9 vs Ishe Smith?
    2.Alexander come back stronger and with confidence and KO Brook?
    3.We have a super, super welterwight tournament with Augulo, Kirkland, Thurman, Molina, Lara, Vanes and 2 others?
    4. Amir Khan whip Paulie and rematch M&M?
    5.Pacman come back. KO Berto and Ortiz?
    6. Ortiz come back with a good team. Rematch Berto, Lopez fight Alexander and/or Paulie(all possible wins)?

    The TMT is going to make sure Floyd look at his career one fight at a time and keep Floyd's focus on that opponent in front of him.

    1. RG
    2. Canelo
    3. Khan


    It really isn't many cause Paulie and Devon would get dumped on, I think people are hoping Mayweather goes broke but remember most of the boxers who went broke had Arum, King or someone else in their pockets, say what you want about Mayweather but that money is in his account before he walks into the ring.

    Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto.

    Thats 9 fights since the Gatti fight. He's had 6 fights since 2007 starting with the points win over Oscar. Where you frozen for a period of time missing some of these fights?

    Surely HBO and Showtime are gonna have a dick swinging war over potential fights and fighters and who fronts the bouts.

    I'd be amazed if we see half the match ups we could do out of this.

    If he keeps improving within the next 6 of Floyd's fights, I'm willing to bet my house that Kieth Thurman will be a viable contender.

    I thought Floyd was going to call it quits at age 37. I can't see him fighting six times between now and then. But if Rios and Bradley can get out of their contract with Asshole Arum then you have 2 right there. Kell Brook, Alvarez, Trout and maybe Danny Garcia down the road.

    Story is circulating that Floyd will get a minimum of 30 million a fight regardless of PPV numbers and the approved list of fighters is as follows: Oh and they are all GBP fighters.

    Guerrero
    Alexander
    Maidana
    Garcia
    Angulo
    Alvarez

    Note that he is not obligated to fight any of them via contract.
