Paulie Malignaggi
Matthew Hatton
Nate Campbell
Tim Bradley
Kermit Cintron
Paul Williams (not sure he is being looked at actually)

None of these fighters are Top Rank fighters.
Do u care to explain the sentence i have put in bold? Pac pulled out of the negotiations for the PBF fight, and its clearly his fault that fight aint happening. Mosely and Berto are fighting soon and so neither will be available soon. So its not 'some reason or another'.
My explanation is that Floyd doesn't like to take risky fights at least as of recent. He isn't fighting Pacquiao because Pacquiao wouldn't submit to his demands, the only logical opponent is Mosley and maybe Paul Williams.

Shane and Berto fight on January 30th. Today it is January 12th and Mayweather hasn't chosen an opponent. The fight date proposed for the Mayweather fight is in April. I assure you for Floyd Mayweather-fight money, both Berto and Mosley will be ready to fight in April. Moreover, both are bigger money fights, better fights, and more meaningful to boxing. And if Floyd needs to push back his fight for a month to give them time, why not? It is a much better match than any on the list.
