Floyd hasn't announced his next opponent yet and this was a pretty good win for Shawn (better than Khan's last win). You guys think this fight is next?
How about the guy that beat Porter?
That's a good match-up.
Perhaps but besides Porter, who has he really beat?
What he did was take advantage of Porter's disadvantages to beat him. Floyd is not as small as Porter for one and Floyd has a completely different style than Porter.
Back in 2013 Floyd tweeted that Devon Alexander is the frontrunner to fight him... Floyd ended up fighting Guerrero or someone after that. I still think it's gonna be Khan.
I think Floyd is serious about Berto or Mayfield. I don't think Floyd wants to train really hard and he looks like he checked out as far as getting ready for a fight is concerned. if he get a dangerous opponent, he will really have to train.
A 20% Floyd can beat Andre and Karim with one good shoulder.
I'm thinking the same thing as you. Mares vs Santa Cruz, Thurman vs Spence, maybe Quillen vs Jacobs.
This is the only way his next card will sell. There's nobody available that will create that buzz for a guaranteed 1plus million ppv buys. Porter had the chance last night but didn't look the way Maidana did coming off Broner.
I'd expect a real big name opponent for Floyd next May.
Uh September is Floyd last fight.

I hope not, the fight that I want to see is Mayweather vs Thurman, but I don't think that is possible, due that Thurman has a tune up in July against Collazo. The more realistic fight in September for Mayweather is against Khan because it brings the most money out of all the other opponents.
No on Porter. I think Floyd will actually go the Berto or Mayfield route. I think he wants to take on someone who isn't perceived as a threat for his last fight while stacking his undercard with good fights to ensure people will buy. I mean look at him trying to play match maker the past few days talking about having Thurman or Porter on his undercard. I don't think he cares if the public likes his last opponent or not cause he has his guarantee from Showtime. Look for him to possibly take a soft touch while stacking his card with good fights. I'm callin it.

Even worse.. Imagine if Khan got Mayweather after a boring fight vs Chris Algieri, where he was buckled in the first round and struggled throughout.
Oh wait..
Or imagine he fought Frank freakin Gavin.
Lol of course they would. I'm one of Lara's "few" fans on here and I know he won't beat floyd. Andrade hasn't even fought in forever so not an option
I'm not saying he wouldn't beat them, but don't tell me they'd be easy fights.
You think Andrade or Lara would be easy fights for Floyd? smh.
Brook, Khan, Porter, Thurman yes. Not those guys.

They're all easy fights doe. Doesn't really matter much

We have to wait till Thurman's fight is done. If Thurman puts Collazo away quick and doesn't get hit I think Mayweather could choose Thurman.
Khan didn't stop Algieri or Collazo.
Porter didn't dominate as much as Maidana did.
But if Thurman can show and prove and 'one time' Collazo I think he has a good shot for Mayweather.

Hope not. Would be a clinch festival. Some body jabs. Bayless would be on Porter like a cheap suit also.
