I had this feeling the highest-grossing and richest fight in boxing history will take place in the summer of 2015, Ward vs Mayweather at a catch weight.
These are possible scenarios in a timeline:
Floyd will pass the torch on Danny Garcia at Adrien Broner at the welterweight division rather than fighting them, I see Garcia vs Broner more realistically happening.
Lara will win impressively against Canelo and possibly knock him out to send a message for Floyd, Lara will be hard-pressed to get a fight with Mayweather.
Gennady Golovkin, like Lara, is just not the kind of opponent for Floyd to consider fighting, Mayweather will take a chance and go for the ultimate, super bowl, taking on the best 168lbs champion Andre Ward at a catch weight, they prefer 160 but the Ward camp says No, at 164 pound limit, Yes they'l agreed upon.
Manny Pacquiao will regain his status as still the most sought-after opponent for Mayweather, but Bob Arum will continue to have more white hair on not gettting what he wants and Pacman will be left in limbo, without no one to fight while Mayweather will become the richest athlete in history.
Ward vs Mayweather, will Floyd finally met his waterloo.

Dumbass alert!
I think you are wrong about just about everything you said. First Mayweather is the best fighter in the world but he can't pass the tourch to Broner or Garcia and declare them the new best welterweight in the world. They have to prove they are the best welterweights in the world and with guys like Thurman, Bradley, Maidana, Alexander, Pacquiao and Marquez around I don't think they are the best at 147 even with Mayweather fighting at a higher weight. Where were you when Mayweather refused to go an ounce over a 152 catchweight to fight 154 pounder Alvarez? Now he is going to agree to fight Ward at 164? Forget about it. Floyd can't fight at his best coming in the ring any heavier than 150. He is no bigger than some 140 pounders.Ward probably would come into the ring weighing about 180 so he would outweigh Floyd by about 30 pounds so that fight is not happening. Where is it written in stone that Lara beats Canelo? I think Canelo would do to Lara what Angulo almost did. I think Mayweather will finish his career as an undefeated fighter in the welterweight devision. If he fights any middleweights he will make them come down to 152 or 154 at the most.
Oh yes, it should be in no boxing fan's mind, and Dela Hoya vs Pacquiao was never in boxing fans mind because a year before they fought, DLH was at 154lbs and Pacman was at 130lbs.
Yeah the thing is Manny has grown into a full fledged welterweight, and De La Hoya killed himself to make that. Mayweather is an average sized welter at best, asking him to fight a full super middleweight is insane.
And for the record, A LOT of boxing fans were laughing at Pac-DLH because of the size difference. They just didn't expect DLH to be a zombie come fight night.
you just compared canelo with andre ward :poke: lol ....canelo is a midget actually shorter than mayweather who never beat anybody.. gas tank on half before he steps in a ring only good win who struggled with the only real 154 pounder trout smh .. andre ward on the other hand .... let me stop ranting this will never happen and should be in no boxing fan's mind ....

Don't take it seriously, Mayweather will never fight him at 168, thats why I said he might lure Ward into a trap, fighting at a catch weight, Floyd has this new found confidence after beating Canelo, who walks around 160.
Of course, its just a dream match, if you were in Mayweather's shoes, why fight Golovkin when you can fight someone with a bigger fanbase as they say.

so you were serious? my dude andre ward is 168 pounder! and in about a year be at 175! mayweather is a lil guy he's 5'6 maybe 5'7 started his career at 130! ward is 6'1 feet walks around 180s lol have you ever seen the picture of them next to each other? you will change your mind in a heartbeat... mayweather is amazing at what he does and he has solid pop to keep welterweights at bay but now you want a fighter thats 3 divisions bigger who is great as well to fight ... just stop it

why silly, when Roy Jones was at his best, he dreams of fighting Mike Tyson, if Mayweather is true to his words he'd fight four more times, he'l ran out of opponents that makes interesting fights with the most money.
