Floyd said he wants a young tough lion for September. If he wins against Broner, I think he might go for it. Amir Khan didn't capitalize on his shot.
Possibly, my experience with Floyd's fights is that he likes to fight guys coming off of big wins or who are currently world champions.
Does he take on a strong dangerous fighter for his last fight? I can't see it, especially coming after his victory over Pacquiao. I can see him fighting Khan, given the name and the fact that Khan is really not that good. It's been annoying hearing Khan make his case for a fight, since he is starting to appear borderline crazy with some of the things he is saying. Nonetheless, I can see him being the most viable opponent for Floyd come September. Or maybe even a Marquez fight, just for one last Mexican milking, I can see the pitch for this fight. Pretty obvious.
I missed seeing Broner get punched and thrown like a rag doll. Can Porter duplicate Maidana's fire and lust to decapitate his opponent? I don't think so. :boxing: I'd like to see it again, though.
Some posters assume Mayweather is looking for the best possible opponent and the guy who would be the hardest for him to beat. Maybe he is looking for a decent opponent but one he knows he can easily beat and retire undefeated.
kell brook decisively beat him, with that, it ended all momentum for him to be next for floyd
and after paulie i was liking the idea too
Porter is too black for Mayweather.
I don't want to see Floyd fight a young strong black; he's almost 40 years old. Just beat Khan's ass or Danny Garcia's ass and ride off into the sunset.I think Khan is still the front runner to get the fight. Mayweather just beat Pacquiao so he has earned a very low risk high reward fight to retire on. Khan and his fans think Khan is a young lion. I think of Khan as a very noisy magpie.

and after paulie i was liking the idea tooI thought Brook won but I thought it was a close fight. If Porter just edges Broner on a close decision that might not be enough. But if he beats the hell out of Broner or KOs him Mayweather might give him the fight.
hell no. porter is terrible unwatchable. peopel think maidana is a caveman, please maidana looks polished compared to porter. broner gonna whoop porters azz and put on a show,,
i wish it could be broner getting a floyd fight.!!!
brooks is a pretender who is just now stepping up his competition to rios where he will get sstopped and exposed
khan has the best resume left let him get it
If he beats Porter Impressively...YES I think you have to put him in the Mix giving the timing of the win and with it being on a Major Network. A lot of people will see it so yeah he has the opportunity to create a bigger buzz than some of the other fighters given the platform
So Porter has to whoop his own ass?

Porter? The guy who lost to Brooks? Come on, AB is going to school him. Porter is one dimensional, and his father lacks the ability to make in fight adjustments.
Nah, it just won't be exciting.
Porter just doesn't have the style or profile to get the fight.
Thurman, or Khan is my guess. Maybe even a Cotto 2, I could definitely see Cotto 2 happening.
I'm assuming this is a troll or a joke post? Give me a break. Porter is overrated as hell and is nothing more than a strong bruising fouling fighter. Porter, Bundrage, Mayfield, these are all 2nd tier fighters who are just strong and tough thats all. Their skill sets are very limited. Brook and Thurman are the two best WW in the world besides Floyd, period.
No. I think Mayweather is going to fight Amir Khan because he needs an opponent with a name without the risk. Porter brings too much risk without a name.
Only other possibility is Mayweather asking Al Haymon to broker a fight with Cotto for the MW belt.
