    Andre Berto-IBF champ, Randall Bailey is his mandatory, Ortiz's "leftovers", Both managed by Al Haymon
    Vyacheslav Senchenko-Undefeated WBA Champ, never fought in the U.S., doubt he would want to make his debut in the states against Floyd
    Jan Zaveck-Coming off a loss against Berto, doubt he'd want to make it two in row
    Mike Jones-Top Rank fighter, Fuggedaboutit
    Tim Bradley-Hasn't proven anything at WW, see above
    Devon Alexander-Hasn't proven anything at WW, Golden Boy isn't going to throw him in the ring w/ Floyd just after signing him
    Selcuk Aydin-Undefeated WBC mandatory challenger for the past few years that was paid step aside money a couple times by Berto
    Damn, I forgot Haymon managed Berto too.
    He manages Williams aswell, don't he? Maybe a fight with Williams could happen..

      Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee hope he fights Pac in May. Then Amir in December. He won't fight Bradley because Bradley is Top Rank. My Dream would be Pac then Khan then Martinez then Pac again.

                  I doubt it happens until they are each old and need the money...but long after their prime and probably long after Arum has passed on or retired.

                  Why? In no particular order:

                  1. Manny is on something and doesn't want to be tested and at the same time, Arum and Roach doubt his ability without PED's.

                  2. Mayweather doesn't trust Manny without testing and fears him without the testing.

                  3. The money split. Floyd wants the lion's share and Manny is buried in a bad deal with Arum and will never come close to getting the same type of money Floyd gets.

                  4. Top Rank and Golden Boy and their issues. These promoters are used to putting forth a sacrificial lamb and in the case of Manny and Floyd there isn't one.

                  5. Fear of losing. Whoever loses that fight will lose all of their luster and marketing ability, and in Manny's case, his political clout in the P.I. Even without fighting, both of them are guaranteed riches, power, and fame.


                  The fight is as far away from happening as it's ever been, imo. When Floyd came out and said Manny was next, he was full of ****. Something has happened in the recent weeks. Either both camps have agreed to postpone the fight to continue to milk their careers or they couldn't make any progress..AGAIN.


                  Mayweather will fight Khan or step up and fight the winner of Cotto/Margarito at 154, imo.
                  ight bruh, just bookmark this thread and comeback to it after the first press conference in February
