1) Danny Garcia
2) Amir Khan
3) GGG
4) Canelo Rematch
5) Broner (for his farewell and 50-0 fight)
What you MoFo's think???
BTW... Shame on Floyd for draining a 23 year old contender. That's all I got to say about that.
Out of fighters that actually fight at 154 and below who is there?
Pac is an overly hyped washed up fighter who's cherry picking guys who don't even fight at WW.
Bob won't let Floyd fight either Pac or Bradley.
People will cry that Garcia is not good enough.
GGG doesn't even fight at 154 and people will cry that he would be drained.
Same with Martinez who people would say is too old. See Mosley fight.
I think Mayweathers next 4 opponents will be
1. May 14. Khan / Alexander winner
2. Sept 14. Manny
3. May 15. Garcia
4. May 15 Broner
Right now there's so many variables Manny has to win a couple fights to make the fight happen, Broner has to keep winning. Garcia might be next
I can see a dark horse like Bradley or Thurman sneaking in though.
But after this contract is up Floyd will have pretty much cleaned up 140 - 154 and have won almost all the belts, been in 3 mega fights. He will probably have beaten his biggest rival and will have beaten a couple of boxing next superstars no matter how you see it that will be a sick 3 year run and a great way to possibly finish a career and cement his name in the discussion of ATG
Sergio at 157. Jr would have chance to be lineal champion in three different divisions at the same time.
Honestly, he would probably have the physical advantage because martinez is breaking down fast.
Anyway. My perfect line up would be:
1. Lara : Mandatory defense of WBA title at 154
2. winner of Garcia/Alexander/Khan tournament
3. winner Thurman/Broner/Maidana/Guerrero/Ortiz/Soto Karrass tournament
4. Bradley when his Top Rank contract expires at the end of next year
GGG is too big and Floyd would still whip him if he did fight him.
Sergio is on HBO? that would be the only fight he could lose except
*maybe* Lara or Garcia after a few fights preferably
Bradley would also be a good match up with a lot of significance, maybe even Pacquiao?
Marquez if he beats Bradley
Garcia if he beat Khan v Alexander winner
Ortiz if he makes a successful comeback
Broner
Why are you picking smaller guys.... why not GGG or Sergio? Too much of a threat?
But Floyd would resolve that quickly with a catch-weight.
TBH I was thinking to myself in the last few round that Floyd should just fake a knockdown because then be could get a big payday for a rematch with Canelo. I guess I'll go with Swift, Khan, Bradley and Thurman. But I don't really see any of them even making it competitive. I actually think it might get to the point where Floyd may beg Pacquiao for a fight just cause no one really brings money to the table. Sadly I think Khan in England probably brings the most money.
After watching this fight my conclusion on Floyd is that he is too good. He really is amazing. Canelo, if he handles this loss well (which he should he just got schooled by the best in the game not some mid-level guy) will become a world champion again in the future. Nobody would do this to Canelo. Same with Guerrero. You will see these guys whoop most of the fighters in their divisions, and Mayweather can go home with less bruises than in his training camp.
I think it presents a problem like the above quote mentioned. Who is going to pay $75.00+ for a pay per view of a guy who is so unbeatable? All Floyd can do is probably beg Pacquiao for a fight.
I think the tools necessary to have a chance against floyd are:
1) fast hands
2) good footwork
3) fast feed
4) southpaw
5) good sense of spacing
6) mental calmness
I can only think of one fighter who has these, and his name is Manny Pacquiao.
Everyone else gets schooled.
Guess no one is picking Canelo at full Jr Welter for obvious reasons... or Sergio for that matter.
Whatever... Pick Danny... I think Danny can catch that fool with one of his Super Retard Hooks.
The same guy who heavily struggled with Maidana, Diaz, lost a UD to Peterson and also got stopped against Garcia, that guy? I'm trying to be open minded here but I honestly can't see it. Those aren't PPV worthy fights and casuals are a click away from seeing how Khan nor Alexander belong in there.
Doesn't matter
Fact is Khan still gives a great fight (for however long it lasts) and his style of fighting is what casuals love.
Tiny Zab Judha gave hell to Floyd more than Canelo did
Boxers with fast hands cause Floyd problems, Devon, Khan, Pac, and even Broner (if he can put together two victories). They probably wont beat him, but I guarantee for however long it lasts Floyd will take more hits to the face than he did against Canelo.
Smaller guys who can keep up with Floyd are better fights, as past history shows
Even Hatton gave Floyd more hell than Canelo did.
Lara and Bradley dont belong in the ring with Floyd. Hed UD them with relative ease. What are they going to do? Outbox Floyd? They damn sure arent stopping him.
From 140-154 he runs it. None of those fighters even have a chance.
We'll he's got to fight 4 more people regardless and I hope fans learned their lesson that these big, strong, flat footed dudes are hopeless against him.
If Khan impressively beats Devon the fight is do-able
Fact is after tonight casuals think Floyd is unbeatable
If he gets in the ring with Khan, Garcia, Devon, it'll be the same thing to the casuals as they have no chance
The same guy who heavily struggled with Maidana, Diaz, lost a UD to Peterson and also got stopped against Garcia, that guy? I'm trying to be open minded here but I honestly can't see it. Those aren't PPV worthy fights and casuals are a click away from seeing how Khan nor Alexander belong in there.
Thurman, Garcia, Bradley, Khan.
That's actually probably exactly what will happen.
Garcia/Khan first
Thurman (since he's being marketed well)
Bradley (once his contract with TR is up)
TBH I was thinking to myself in the last few round that Floyd should just fake a knockdown because then be could get a big payday for a rematch with Canelo.

So you say Thurman and not Khan. YOU ARE STUPID my friend.
BTW, I'd rather see Thurman in there vs G@yweather, but he has no name and G@y will never risk a fight vs him. Khan has a big name and Floyd knows he can't take a punch = easy money for G@yweather.
Khan fight wouldn't sell, maybe I give casuals more credit than what you do and that's with me understanding how gullible casuals are. Also, I'm not saying Thurman soon, I'm saying in the near future as Thurman continues to rack up victories. I stand by that too, I can definitely see Garcia and Thurman down the line. The Khan fight is never going to happen, nor will an Alexander fight.
Ive come to the conclusion, bigger guys stand no chance against Floyd, all the extra weight just makes you slow
To even give Floyd a competitive fight you have to be athletically gifted and fast hands
Khan is the only one who ticks these boxes, minus his notorious glass chin
Garcia is to slow, slower than Canelo and The Ghost
Devon has fast hands but he's not very athletically gifted and doesn't have heart
Pacman, we will have to see if he still has something in the tank first
thats what Im saying. Khan has a better chance due to his speed
