I was just imagining, what would be ideal hypothetical situations for each fighter in the upcoming years.
Floyd Mayweather - Fights Maidana for the WBA belt in May for a unification bout, while Khan (or somebody) battles Porter for the IBF belt. Mayweather picks up the IBF in September after defeating the winner of that fight, then proceeds to challenge Bradley/Pacquiao in May 2015 once their contracts with Top Rank are over. He wins and becomes the unified welterweight champion, has a farewell fight in September, and retires undefeated.
Manny Pacquiao - Defeats Timothy Bradley in April to reclaim the WBO welterweight title. This causes Marquez to accept a fifth fight, in order to fulfill Juan's desire to become a five division champion. Manny avenges his KO loss to Marquez later in 2014, finishes out his contract with Top Rank, and challenges Mayweather as an independent fighter (or signs with Goldenboy). Pacquiao defeats Mayweather, with the PPV percentages possibly solving the bulk of his tax issues, then retires.
Timothy Bradley - Spanks Pacquiao in a rematch anytime in 2014. Proceeds to drop Top Rank and sign with Goldenboy, defeating the bulk of 140-147 and remaining undefeated, getting a shot at Mayweather. He defeats Mayweather and becomes the only fighter to have victories over Marquez, Pacquiao, and Mayweather - becoming a first ballot Hall of Famer and potential pound for pound king.
Juan Manuel Marquez - Gets a rematch with Bradley and knocks him out. Rides off into the sunset wearing a '#1 Mexican Legend' T-Shirt while mariachi music plays in the background.
Anybody have any other scenarios for other fighters? Khan? Maidana? Ward? Cotto?
