He claims he only has 4 fights left. (I call BS) but anyway, who will they have to be?
Manny has to be one. And maybe a rematch with Manny. So that's 2. who are the other two? Sergio Martinez?
2014
Devon Alexander (Im picking him to beat Khan)
Danny Garcia
2015
All roads lead to a Manny Pacquiao bout in May-June, Floyd is 38, Pacman is 36 by that time, GGG will be another option for Mayweather, but I just don't see those fights ever happening, Mayweather will surprise everybody by retiring with two fights left in his contract with showtime.
I feel like Floyd is 99.9% sure he's going to be fighting Garcia next, so with that said I see it going like this:
1. Garcia (Floyd UD, as usual)
2. Bradley/Marquez (if it's Marquez he'll need another fight after Bradley to sell the fact he's more formidable than when Floyd schooled him in '09)
3. Pacquiao (doesn't matter if Manny's on a bit of a downward slope, all he needs is one vicious KO win over someone like Rios to make the public recognize again)
4. Martinez (though he's getting older, Floyd closing his career for the MW title seems appropriate. The age of Martinez wouldn't be a factor in selling the fight so long as he keeps winning because Floyd is getting up there, too.)
I don't think the Garcia fight should be next though because it needs time to build. Let Garcia fight some names at 147 first and then I could justify it. Give MayweatherMartinez next spring at 156 - its the only fight which Mexican boxings maniacs will get fired up for on Cinco De Mayo (even though he's Argentinian)
When was the last time Mayweather past up a hispanic or latino for some other ethnicity?
Garcia isn't anywhere near ready yet but he clearly could be with a few fights at 147. Khan is a moneygrab and KO highlight in London if Floyd hungers for a change of scenery.
Mayweather vs. Martinez has the best risk/reward ratio outside of Pacquiao with Khan a solid number 3 option just for the experience and european exposure
If Rios-Mayweather has vada testing Floyd gets knocked out, otherwise he might be able to go the distance. He can fight kendall holt, nate campbell, lamont peterson afterwards for some extra cash on the side.
Broner, if he keeps winning, the public will demand for it.
Broner could be huge by 2015.
Thurman can come into the picture too.
Hopefully Manny,Bradley,Khan,and Broner.:hitit:
I can see one of Mayweather last fights to be against Broner.
I see him fighting Khan for the UK$'s
Garcia somewhere in there
Pacqiao if he ever leaves Top Rank
5. Danny gracia
4. Khan, warm up for Pacquaio
3. Pacquiao, After Pacquaio lands a lucky haymaker, hatton style. Pac wins by KO, Floyd demands a rematch
2. Pacquiao/Mayweather 2, Floyd by split decision, after getting the split decision, the two meet again to decide who'es the best of this era
1. Pacquiao/Mayweather 3, after Floyd Mayweather age catch up to him, Him and Pac go back and forth in nonstop battle. The bout ends in a draw
After the draw, Pacquiao and Mayweather joins forces in the promotion business, changing the TMT name to PNF Promotion...
thats how its going to play out, I already went to the physic...

What makes you think Pacquiao has to be one or maybe two of his last four fights? Iknow it's a big money fight but it always was a big money fight for the last 5 years and the two fighters and their teams could never get together. Now that Mayweather is bigger than ever and Pacquiao lost his last two fights Floyd will want most of them money and Pacquiao won't accept the small percent of the purse that Mayweather will want to give him.I say the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight won't ever happen or at least that it is very unlikely to ever happen.
Danny Garcia, but Danny has work to do to sell the fight to us. He would have to move up to WW and get a win over a guy like Broner.
Manny Pacquiao, Obviously. Even though people won't give him credit for beating an "old" Pac, even though Pac is younger than him.
I don't care for it but he is likely to fight Amir Khan.
Possibly Adrian Broner if the kid stays undefeated.
I would like to think there is a fighter out there who will rise up over the next two years and give us something to get excited about.
Id like Bradley, Garcia , Manny , Martinez , providing they all keep winning .
These are good but put khan in there and GGG as well, and then Floyd can call it a day and hope his ATG standing can rise after he retires and maybe then people can appreciate him.
He doesn't have to win all his last fights. If he puts a good show on against Sergio, GGG or Pac that will be acceptable.......if he has a slight hiccup against any one of these opponents people wouldn't be too harsh on him.
