It seems like Lara would be the top pick for FMJ. Even if porter knocks paulie out, he's not there. Thurman is not ready. Khan would have to take a backseat to lara with a canelo win.
And for all the haters, lara is a much more dangerous opponent than pac and bradley. Imagine pac vs lara, it would be the end of pac, and I have great respect for the man. The fact is , floyd has more of an issue with landing credible opponents because people generally hold him to a much higher standard, because he's just better than anyone else.
BTW i think khan gets stop by luis. If he does and lara wins, i think there would be more pressure for floyd to fight Lara, dont really think a Luis fight makes sense.
Why take such a fight when Khan is possibly next?
Same reason floyd passed on him this time, he hasn't proved himself yet and people aee not sold on the idea....haters say he ducked khan, laughable.

Will he? Doubt it. Shoulda he? Probably. But also Lara is July and Floyd is in September so note nought turn around for lara
He could also take a stay-busy fight and be ready next may...god I hope we don't get khan. Now seems likeva good time to go after manny, hope he does.
If Lara beats Canelo he's going to have to call out Mayweather just like Tarver called out Jones and he's going to have to get grimey like N.O.R.E. That's the fight I want to see in sept 13th or else it's a flat out duck by Mayweather.

That is an extremely valid point.
Yes he want a guy in the ring that people think can beat him, but not a guy that can actually beat him. If Khan beats Luis, then thats enough incentive for people to think he can beat floyd. Remember people already thought khan had a shot because of his "speed".
I'm a floyd fan (and a pac fan) and I never bought the speed theory, but I know alot of people did. It's all about the fan base....but then there's maidana, not a mexican and not necessarily a household name. Khan is obviously the bigger name, that has to say something.
I honestly think floyd chose the right opponent in maidana and will do so again with lara, IF he gets past conelo. A win over conelo is FAR more impressive than a win over luis. Floyd is no dummy, he wants the guy in the ring that people think have a chance of beating him. Lara is a legit threat if he hurts conelo.

If Lara can beat Canelo then he absolutely becomes an attractive option for Floyd.
I can't think of a better opponent, khan needs to prove himself at welter, beat a porter or thurman. Until then, i'm not interested in a khan fight.
You would think so considering its going to be on PPV. But i think floyd will fight khan-luis winner or maybe someone like danny or someone like that. He doesn't really like fighting 154 ponders unless there is a really big paycheck on the line (Oscar, Canelo, Cotto)

why? serg fights a weight class above him and is looking for money fights against the likes of canelo. martinez-GGG brings way more cash then serg-lara
Lara is with GBP and I think they will offer more cash to Martinez, A-side billing, and helps be the one making demands.
I don't mind GGG though
No but he might get Martinez
