I would go out and try my hardest to make a Sergio Martinez or Timothy Bradley fight happen in early 2012. Either in January or February. He needs another fight before Pacquiao in late Spring or Summer 2012 (if it happens), and those seem to be the two best options by far. I still don't actually the Khan fight happening until Fall 2012. Khan is fighting Peterson in December and than again in March or April. He won't be available to fight Mayweather until at least late Summer or Fall 2012.
Sergio is fighting October 1st and could easily get ready to fight again in 4-5 months time. He has indicated that he would go down to 150 to fight Pacquiao, but there has been no response from Top Rank or Pacquiao about that. Also, I really wouldn't like to see Martinez drain himself all the way down to 150, where he'd most likely lose. 154 is far enough and fair enough. Mayweather would go up to 154 (most likely would only go up to 150 though, like he did against De La Hoya), and Sergio would go down from 160 to 154 (and most likely come in over 160 on fight night). Sergio has also indicated that he prefers a fight with Mayweather before Pacquiao. Dibella has also said that a fight Floyd is much more realistic than a fight with Manny for Sergio.
If I wre Floyd, I would try everything possible to make a fight with Sergio Martinez at 154 in February 2012.
Another would be Bradley. This would most likely be looked at by Floyd haters on Floyd taking on another small fighter, but thats crap. Bradley is the best at 140, either him or Khan, and is definitely big enough to fight at 147. He's been begging for a fight with Floyd or Manny, and his last three wins have come against good opponents wo were previously unbeaten (Abregu, Peterson, and Alexander). He is also in his prime, and could easily be ready to fight in January or February 2012.
I just think Floyd needs another fight in early 2012. Whether or not that will happen....I don't know.
What would you like to see Floyd do next???
