    Default Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s next 5 fights- in no particular order!

    1. Canelo Alvarez
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Amir Khan
    4. Danny Garcia
    5. Timothy Bradley (just to see Bradley lose one!)

    I don't think there would be any other selection of fighters worthy of a Mayweather fight. You may wanna throw in a Devon Alexander and/or a Lucas Matthyse, maybe even a Lamont Peterson- but, really, would you wanna see any other selection of fighters between 142 and 154 that you would wish to see Mayweather matched up against?

    Nice list, however I would remove Amir Khan and include Mattheyse or Peterson and as a wildcard would replace anoyone on that list to see him in against Broner.

    I was thinking Broner, but I don't think Broner would make the weigh to make a competitive fight.

    Yea, and Matthesye would be a wild-card pick. But with Amir Khan's power and accuracy, you would have to think he would hit Mayweather more than anyone else on this list could ever.

    I would actually pay to see a Khan vs. Mayweather fight. Truly! Chinny-Khan and all!!!

    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.

    I think its unreasonable to expect Floyd at this time in his career to go fight Alavarez who weighed 171 pounds against Trout. I mean do we just keep matching him with bigger men in their prime nearing 40 until he gets beat?
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    It still make a pile of cash but its not all that meaningful. Its not even clear if Manny will continue and he will need at least one comeback fight.
    3. Amir Khan
    Floyd probably goes to England for this one. Another big money fight that does not really mean anything.
    4. Danny Garcia
    Why not. He's probably bigger then Floyd and seems to be the accepted man at 140. You could put Angel and Sr on the undercard.
    5. Timothy Bradley (just to see Bradley lose one!)
    I don't see Floyd ever fighting Bradley and Marquez will work him anyway.

    I don't think there would be any other selection of fighters worthy of a Mayweather fight.

    Floyds in a tough spot. No opponent is good enough so far and he's blamed for it. Yet Robinson was immortalized for doing the same thing.

    Robinson fought bigger men as he was that good, you can't say the same for Floyd.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I said 147 Master. I know he fought all the way to Maxim losing on the stool in a fight with 2 refs at 175 but he is listed by many as the best welter that ever lived and in his welter days he did the same thing Floyd is doing. Making a mockery out of all comers.

    His next 5 fights will take him into 2015 so i will reserve judgement on fights 4 and 5 as i don't think we can see that far ahead. I can see a Canelo fight, maybe a Bradley if he beats Marquez and there is still the possibilty of a Pacquiao fight. IMO he wins all three easily. Apparently he will be ready for September action again so does that mean Canelo or will he fight a Garcia? Perhaps he is already looking at Canelo for May next year? Khan has no chance of getting a Floyd fight unless Floyd wants to go to England and put on a clinic? At 36 years of age he still looks sharp and by round 3 of this fight he was in cruise control, i don't see any of the above mentioned prospective opponents troubling him. Is Broner a chance?

    Well, my list is being checked off on, one by one.
    Alvarez, done.
    Khan, near done.
