Who can be a legitimate challenge for Floyd?

[GT-R]

It will sell even if its made tomorrow, its viable too me, but yes Khan needs more fights to even to stand a chance, 4 or 5 fights against the top opposition @ 140, if he comes through them he should be near enough ready.

thats another 2-3 years. Floyd fights in 3 weeks. he needs another opponent by this years end.

[FLY TY]

My guess is that the fight will eventually get made. Both are in the twilight of their careers. Preparing for the fight is not exactly paradise. It's hell by itself. There's no more point in going through other fighters with smaller pay, not to mention the risk of losing them. After the fight, both may decide to retire, win or lose. But they will retire wealthy with pride and dignity.

Nuff said. (Man, these fighters need Hopkins' My Way intro)

twilight of their careers? i think manny and floyd are both close to prime, if not in their prime.

Paul Williams.

i'd love to see a williams fight, if the manny fight doesn't get made. it'll be a letdown tho.

Floyd against the most feared middleweight? you know dam well that aint happenin. even martinez gets ducked.

c'mon fellas, lets get real here please.

edit: against PWill, too much to lose, nothing to gain. he aint even a draw.

you can say that about anybody not named manny or floyd....that's why the fight MUST get made.

Malignaggi! After he KO's Khan. Put Malignaggi on A-side meth like Pac, and give him Margarito's magic wraps to make it fair, he TKO's Floyd in 7. True story.

Well don't rule out Mosley beating him which will tie Floyd up for at least another 4 months.

Nevertheless Floyd wants fights which offer maximum financial return, IMO the top 3 from possible opponents are Cotto, Margarito & Khan.

As for legitimate opponents, I would say Bradley, Williams and maybe Cotto.

the only guy i would pick to beat floyd would be pwill

that bein said, i think his drug testing demands on manny was ridiculous. he shoulda gave up on that nonsense, beat manny (i predict a close UD) and moved on to pwill or berto or margarito

[bojangles1987]

As much flack as Floyd weirdly gets for fighting smaller guys, I want him to take on some of the talent at 140 if he can't fight Pac. Some potential really good fights there.

[Kilrain]

Not sure, but I'd like to see Floyd fight Bradley if Bradley looks good in his debut at Welterweight. Or fight Paul Williams at 54. Berto would be a good fight too, maybe even Saul Alvarez. There are options.

[Equinox]

Floyd is fighting Mosley less than a month away and you say Pacquiao is willing to fight fighters who Floyd is ducking? THen you say Pac has options like Mosley and Margarito? You serious?

[dvb]

Floyds worth wile worthy opponents:

Mosley(obv. already happening)
Pac
P Williams(if he makes weight)

collazo?
Berto?.
cotto?(too past it??)

if make weight and perform well at welter.

martinez?
cintron?
bradley?
alexander?

[War Dinamita]

He's going to give Mosley a rematch if Pac ducks him again.
