Maidana is mentally won't be 100% even with the gloves he wants, I don't think he will truly believe he'll beat Floyd and would be fighting for the pay check.
Pac is well past prime and Marquez KO'd him and took the dog out of him.
Khan stylistically other than Lara presents the greatest threat and whether delusional or not truly believes that he can beat Floyd.
Kell Brook is the only guy at welterweight right now that will make sense.
Also GGG. I want either GGG at 160 or Kell Brook, both winnable fights for Mayweather.
I'm not interested in any of those fights.
I think Floyd should fight a young, up and coming Lion in his final fight. Now that would be going out with a bang.
These are the names that come to mind:
1. Keith Thurman
2.Terrance Crawford
3. Danny Garcia
Dark horse: Omar Figueroa (hey..once in a lifetime opportunity for the youngster)
Swift is not an up-and-comer. He is the #1 LWW by Ring and is the champion in his division. He maybe should step up to 147 (I'd like to see him fighter Broner first) but he is not some new kid trying to make a name.

I would've said Khan but the Algieri fight showed a lot. At this point I don't think anyone @ 147 is competitive. Maybe pacquiao from 2010 lol
Pac from 2010 gets shutdown just the same , you guys just cant see that Manny was elevated because of beating weight drained opponents , forget Cotto Oscar Margo Mosley wins they were false 3 were drained one was shot , now look at the rest of his fights they were real .
Today Brook Thurman offer the best fights with Floyd .
False trichotomy. The answer is Terrance Crawford.

Your right the answer is a guy who never fought at 147.
I think after Friday, Khan would be lucky to win 3 rounds against Floyd.
3 rounds is about what most people seem to be able to win at max v Floyd. Floyd is on another level.
Basically splitting hairs. Winning four rounds max doesn't really make a difference from 3 lol
Well i doubt Floyd chooses Thurman, Lara, GGG or other fighters ppl want him to fight, which i don't care last fight do whatever you want.
Splitting hairs? yes but these are still best 3 he could take
Chino if he could make weight and have his gloves, he did hurt Floyd maybe if it was early in the round who knows what would happen.
Pac, with his new bio-mechanical arm might do better, and still biggest pay day.
Khan, maybe wont get Knocked Out or Stunned and out work Floyd for a close victory.

That'll be 3 rounds more than Nelo and 3 more than Garcia ever would so not bad.

People are quick to forget how much like a roller coaster and unpredictable boxing is.
Khan vs Collazo was 50/50 with many people believing Khan would be KO'd, he schooled Collazo.
Khan vs Alexander was a true 50/50 fight in many peoples eyes on this forum and in the real world. Khan schooled Alexander.
Khav vs Algieri was suppose to be a walk in the park for Khan, he got the win but had a very bad outing.
Maidana is mentally won't be 100% even with the gloves he wants, I don't think he will truly believe he'll beat Floyd and would be fighting for the pay check.
