    I don't know if there are three guys right now where it would be like "holy shit".

    I think if he went up to middleweight and beat Golovkin, Martinez, and then went up to 168 and beat Andre Ward that would prove that he's a decent boxer.

    BTW I say Martinez because it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to beat the shit out of Miguel "1lb catchweight" Cotto

    Khan, Maidana again, and finally Manny, Thurman or Porter. In any order he wants.

    I agree with Khan. He will avoid Maidana like the plague, and as for the other 2, ehhh, are those such good fights for him? Thurman and POrter are real solid I like them both, but will anyone pay to watch it? Floyd wont fight if the money isnt there. Pac would be great--if he only fights 2 more times against Khan and Pac and beats them convincingly I would consider him in the top 3 or 4 all time greats, all divisions combined. No doubt.

    But I think both Khan and Pac will give him fits like you cant believe.

    Fuck Khan, he don't deserve it. Pac, Bradley and either Garcia or by that time maybe Thurman would've earnt it. For Khan to come into the mix he has to beat one of those. Then he will deserve it.

    Floyd is hoping and praying that Cotto can pull off a miracle so he could earn a title at middleweight. That would enhance his legacy the rest like Maidana and Khan do not.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's ridiculous you can win the championship of a division having never fought at the division, including in your "title fight".

    I hope Sergio smashes baby boy Cotto into retirement.

    Respect Cotto for taking the dangerous fight.

    GGG for sure. That would be an impressive win. He should fight pac, but honestly that win isn't what it would've been a few years ago. If I was advising Floyd I would stay clear of Porter. I don't think Danny Garcia is a big challenge. Floyd destroys him. I would like to see him fight in order:
    1) khan
    2) Pac

    3) GGG
    I think the Hop or Ward fights r too much to ask of Floyd. Porter will make him look bad with that style match up. Floyd will likely pull it out, but Porter will make it HARD. Bradley, Maidana, and Danny Garcia don't seem like viable threats to me. Khan is interesting because of his speed and boxing skill, but I think Floyd takes over late for the win. Pac

    Pac will present problems and be up for that fight, but I think he is farther past his prime than Floyd n will lose a decision or late stoppage. GGG is a HUGE risk n Floyd would be in my top ten with that win, but it will be tough to see him winning that one. I would be equally impressed with a Floyd win over Martinez. Those r the only ones I'm interested in seeing Floyd fight

    Floyd can fight anyone he wants for his last fight, no matter who he fights, everyone will want to say they saw it, almost everyone. Hell, most of us would think he was stupid if he picked a real opponent for his last fight, or at least not groan too loudly no matter who he picks.
    The other two will probably be Khan and Maidana.
    Khan looked great against Collazo. Maidana looked very good against Floyd.
    We have to remember that Floyd is no dummy and will not make a stupid move, here at the end. Hayman will be leaning over his shoulder anyway, so a stupid move is out.
    Anyone think he'll fight Maidana again?
    I think the only thing that ruin his plans is old age, Floyd did not sparkle against Maidana.
    It's very interesting!

    To enhance his legacy he should cut the BS and fight PAC Man, then Sergio and then GGG.

    In reality it will he Maidana, khan and Devon Alexander.
