    1. Sergio Martinez - If Martinez could shrink down to 154lbs, this would be a legacy defining matchup for Mayweather. Mayweather would easily school the aged Argentine wonder, Sergio's body is worn out and he is no where near as fast or skilled as Floyd...I think Mayweather knocks him down several times enroute to a stoppage. The first time Martinez puts his hands down to try to show boat he's going to get cracked, altough its not likely to happen I would love to see this.

    2. Canelo Alvarez - He will need his legs in this one, so I think he needs to do it as soon as possble to avoid getting any more wear before facing the younger, stronger, fresher man. The Floyd that just beat Guerrero would make Canelo look just as Amatuerish.

    2. Danny Garcia - Facing the smaller fighter will give him a break after facing Canelo. Danny is strong and has a great skill set but he's not on the same planet as Floyd and would get outboxed the entire night.

    3. Mattheyse/Peterson winner - Regardless of who wins this one, the winner will be a very tough fight for Mayweather. Both fighters come to bang and are extrmely tough. Mattheyse being the small man will be the easier picking for Floyd and althogh Peterson is taller he fights in a slouched over stance and would give away his height advantage.

    5. Adrien Broner - If this were to ever happen it would be a changing of the guard fight. Broner at this point would be peaking physically and Floyd would be way old to hold this guys back. Mayweather would probably ask for a piece of all of Adrien's future PPV winnings.

    Thats the dream list, what were probably going to get is:

    1. Amir Khan
    2. Devon Alexander
    3. JMM/Bradley winner
    4. Danny Garcia
    5. Manny Pacquiao

    Danny or Manny may go in either order. This 2nd list isnt as fun but its more realistic for a fighter who is 36 now.

    Haha who said Mayweather doesnt punch hard? There is a reason why his opponents offense gets cut in half when they face him in the ring. If he didnt hit hard people would walk right through his defense.

    Martinez has been knocked down on several occassions.

    Yea... that was a dream list by Onix. Martinez has stated himself that he is not coming down again in weight, and he is not going up to Super Middle to fight anyone.

    If the fight won't be at 160/2, then there is no fight at all with him.

    But I think we can all safely say that 3 out of the 5 WILL be a mixture of:
    1. Manny Pacqiauo
    2. Amir Khan
    3. Canelo Alvarez

    We can safely say that those three will definitely be his opponents 3 out of the next 5. The other fights are toss ups.

    To be fair, I don't care for a Bradley vs. Mayweather fight. If Mayweather knocks him out, then it would be expected. If Bradley wins on points- unlikely unless Arum has the judges fixed- then what do we have?

    Ya know??

    If Marquez beats Bradley (Which I think he will) I think there is a strong possibility he could face Mayweather in a rematch. Now if Broner beats Malignaggi and Marquez beats Bradley I could see those two matching up and the winner getting Mayweather.

    Berto
    Alexander
    Maliggangi/Broner
    Bradley
    Khan

    All easy options that pay the same as him risking it against Saul and Sergio.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
