The answer is Erislandy Lara. He beat Trout. He beat Angulo. He drew with Molina. He by far has the best resume of any potential challenger. My only thing about Lara is that he appears to revere Mayweather so much that I question whether he would psychologically go into a fight with Mayweather with the confidence that he can win.
Frankly, there aren't many great challenges for Mayweather at 140-154. If you are talking strictly about challenges and not from a business point of view, without saying something insane like Pacquiao or Ward, there really is only Lara or Martinez. Mayweather is not going to pull a Duran and go above 154. Unlike Cotto, who is fighting him at 159, he won't fight Martinez either, which leaves Lara.
