I'm wondering who everyone thinks Floyd will face next, I personally think it'll be Ruslan Provodnikov or the Amir Khan/Luis Collazo winner. I'm curious as to everyone else think it'll be, I doubt it's going to be Pacquiao but one can dream.
Why are people even bringing Provo up? What has he done? Maidana would murder him at 147.. Ruslan relies on toughness alone. He's a basic pressure fighter. Offers nothing dynamic in his game.
Basically ^^^
I think Bradley would have beaten him more soundly if he boxed like himself, but then again he wanted to prove a point, so can't blame him.
When he beats Maidana*
Hopefully if Khan topples Collazo I don't see why not?
Porter no doubt emerged as an another great candidate, but would people buy him on PPV? That is a major element to consider when it comes to Floyd. Quite comical how people try to downplay Khan's star power.
Shawn Porter
Amir Khan
Lara/Canelo winner
Danny Garcia
All these options make sense and could make for entertaining fights. Keith Thurman needs to fight better competition first if he wants to be on the Mayweather sweepstakes.
The Lara/Canelo fight July 12th neither of them would have enough time train or even neg a fight in that short of a time. Khan can't fight Sept 13; Danny Garcia should have fought Floyd in May he needs another Lucas type win. Porter sure.

Why do people keeping adding Khan or Collazo to these polls; they are not a eliminator they are fighting on the undrcard because of name recognition. Khan can't fight in Sept even if he wins & Collazo would literally have to kill Khan for people to mention as a opponent my wild guess is Keith Thurman.

EXACTLY!
Floyd would counterrpunch the **** out of him and win a UD fairly easy.

What makes you think Floyd will face Provodnikov? Hope you are right but I doubt it since Provodnikov is not with Haymon/goldenboy and he's a to big risk for floyd.
If not Provodnikov I would like to see floyd fight Porter but he's also looks to dangerous for Floyd.
There where talks about Malignaggi being floyd next oppenent before his loss to Porter, makes sense: easy money and no risk. I think his next fight will be collazo or Kahn
Ruslan in an 140 fighter and Floyd UD him easy. Stop trying to make it look like Floyd is scared lmfao.
Floyd will end up fighting Porter before the deal is over with Showtime. I put that on my balls. Shawn still has to go through Kell Brook first but Maywather/Porter WILL happen. :boxing:

Sadly he will fight the Khan/Collazo winner. SMH
Thurman and Porter should fight to find out.
Cotto at 160 if he wins.
Canelo/Lara winner.
I would be just fine with any of the above.I'm sure most would scoff at a Canelo rematch, but he's young, learning, and getting better with every fight.
Thurman isn't koing diaz, only kendal holt has ko'd diaz but it was a perfect punch which would have ko'd most.
A few guys have stopped Diaz before. Holt was just the most recent.
People saying Khan must not understand it would give him 6 weeks to train for that fight because of ramadan.......that almost excludes him entirely.
Hopefully Shawn Porter.
The only reason I think they turned the fight down was the fact it didn't have enough money involved and Porter's name goes down the drain real quick. If Thurman has a good KO on Diaz, I could see him facing Matthysse next with Porter fighting Brook on the same card. That'd be a hell of a Barclays Center card, then put Porter/Thurman co-feature for Mayweather's May 2015 card.
Barclays Center - Brooklyn, NY
Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook
Keith Thurman vs. Lucas Matthysse
Peter Quillin vs. Daniel Jacobs
Sign me up for that event! :boxing:
I don't buy this 'not enough money' excuse tbh. Don't like that attitude.
Pauli brings more money to the table, but I'm sure Porter would rather have a win over Thurman than Pauli on his resume.
Matthysse isn't a big JWW, he shouldn't move up to fight Thurman, he'd get starched.
I think Thurman vs Porter will happen sooner or later.
