    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.

    Its a moot point and based solely on ego. Martinez has never weighed in at 160. Fighters routinely weigh a pound or two under the class. That is what makes the demand so stupid. He never had to ask for it to accomplish it.

    Anyway I cant think of 3. I still say Khan would be his most difficult matchup today and if Floyd does not hit that 50 and 0 and retire he most likely will get beat by someone he would have toyed with previously. I do think he's looking for a way into 160 and probably feels Martinez is ripe. He may not be at ringside but I'd bet he will be closed up somewhere watching that fight.

    Nobody mentioned Lara? If I could choose I'd pick:

    1. a Maidana rematch (just to wipe that "stain" off his record)
    2. Khan
    3. Erislander Lara (to measure up his skills against a slick boxer)

    For the 50-0, Pacquiao if possible. If not, just retire undefeated.

    Bullshit.

    He's fighting a 39 year old champ who, while once an amazing talent, has been plagued with knee injuries over the last few years, hasn't fought in over a year and looked like he had declined considerably in his last outing.

    Cotto is trying to take advantage of a once great champ who (seemingly) is ripe for the picking. And what's more, he wouldn't even fight him at his weight class.

    I hope he gets sparked.

    Let's not get over dramatic. Cotto is fighting at middleweight, against the champion and is the under dog going into the fight. Respect.

    He's fighting an old small middleweight. It's a hard fight for him but there are a lot harder fights out there for him

    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.
