Mayweather is good at picking opponents after they have good wins. This is a high profile win for Lopez. Do you think Mayweather Promotions will try get this fight after he has finished his time?
You won't see that happen no matter who his opponent is.
DOnt be too sure about that. Floyd is going to need a lil image repair coming out of jail. He's banked $85 mil and hasn't had time to spend any of it in the bing. A free fight for the fans, not that floyd cares too much about doing something like that, is a good jesture.
Very good fighter, A lot of heart and guts from Lopez, respectable fight for Floyd to take while giving Lopez a pay check of a lifetime. But the truth is Josesito Lopez is not a very marketable name, unless he goes on a little win streak like beating at least 2 of Maidana, Malignaggi, Khan, Alexander...then I can see Floyd giving him a fight. But as Dom mentioned Guerrero is probably the more recognizable name.
But don't get me wrong, it's a fight i'd like to see Floyd in. Lopez is 5' 10" and throws a lot of punches and just never gives up. Floyd needs to aim for that type of style to finish off his career, Ortiz, Cotto, Lopez, Maidana, Khan, Canelo etc. Guys who will be there to get hit, so that he can leave the sport with a string of memorable fights. Pacquiao did it his whole career and got nothing but praise for it and labeled an ATG for fighting the same style over and over again.
I agree here. The fight is make able & Floyd sells fights. Doesn't matter who he fights. This dude just broke Victor's jaw & loss with some controversy to Vargas.
SChaefer has mentioned Guerrero. SO that would seem likely, but Lopez would be second choice. Hopefully floyd does what ODH did with Forbes and fight either guerrero or lopez on regular HBO.

Floyd Mayweather next for winner of Guerrero-Aydin according to Eric Gomez of Golden Boy Promotion
Looks like the winner of this is a mandatory to Floyd
im going with dom guerrero in a tune up. he needs to see where his body is at. if he fights again, this may be the first time he takes a tune up in quite some time, but its not like last time, 3 months of atrophy may be hard to shake off, so i guarantee u he wont be fighting canelo, ppl may as well forget that.
I think it will be Robert Guerrero back at 147 also because a win over Aydin I thinks make Guerrero Mayweather's Mandatory, a fight with Lopez seems possible though now
He ain't gonna come out of jail to face Canelo, you can cross that out.
I don't think Floyd will fight this year period.
And I don't think he's gonna fight early next year either. I'm predicting he fights in May 2013.
The time in jail and disruption of his normal diet/work out routines will mess him up and he will not feel comfortable enough with his body to fight this year.

why would he fight guererro???and there will bo no cotto rematch
it will be canelo
He ain't gonna come out of jail to face Canelo, you can cross that out.
Cotto was a good fight but wasn't close. Rematch not really needed.
Canelo will be fighting as he gets out so it is possible.
Guerrero no.
They both KO'd Ortiz and Ortiz was a big a profile as Lopez is now (to the public) cept he got Berto's belt.
People think it's close.
if Cotto's still active and Mayweather wants some walking around cash.... why not?
