    Also, Paulie and Matthew Hatton should be on there too.
    Both Manny and Floyd should ONLY BE IN THE RING WITH EACH OTHER.

    Nobody else. Not Khan, not Bradley. These guys are good but either of them stepping into the ring with Floyd or PAC will be an embarrassing mismatch.

      It's too early for Mayweather-Khan. Mayweather-Khan should happen after Amir has moved up to 147 and collected a belt against a good fighter.
      Ortiz vs Berto II winner vs Khan

      then when Khan out boxes either one,

      Mayweather vs Khan late 2012 early-mid 2013 in England.

        Martinez, Berto (although they'd likely go to a trilogy if he beat Ortiz) or Miguel Cotto. Nobody else is ready. If Kirkland avenged the Ishida loss and gets a title, he and Floyd would be a great fight down the line though.

          I don't give a ***** if he doesn't fight pac. Reason being that anyone else will either be vastly inferiour or forced to make an uncomfortable weight.

          If Floyd doesn't fight pac then phuck him.

            #1. Sergio Martinez - Clearly the toughest fight for floyd
            #2. Amir Khan - Will be competitive as long as Amir Khan's chin holds up
            #3. Cotto Margarito winner - Floyd vs Cotto would be interesting at 154
            #4. Andre Berto - I wouldnt be excited for it but if he announced it? meh
            #5. Marcos Maidana - Too small for floyd. But would make it entertaining
            #6. Saul Alvarez - Too easy for floyd. Would be a joke of a fight
            #7. Juan Manuel Marquez (if he beats pacquiao) - No way Marquez beats pacquiao and no way would I ever tune in on a remtach of Marquez and Mayweather. Not even if it was free

            Id rather see floyd fight kirkland or angulo than marquez or alvarez

              Sergio or Berto is most realistic. JMM maybe if he could upset Manny. Bob will find some other opponent for manny anyway.

                Martinez at 154, or Floyd could weigh in at 155 for the Middleweight title. Berto will get smacked around, he's only worth something because he has a title that he doesn't even deserve. He was lucky that fight with Zaveck was stopped, cuz he was starting to fade. He should just fight Ortiz again. Khan and Canelo atm would be money-fights, not legacy fights. Cotto would've been a legacy fight a couple years ago, but I guess it would still be worth something if Cotto gets past Margarito in convincing fashion. However, Floyd prides himself on saying he doesn't fight Manny's leftovers so it most likely won't happen.

                1. Martinez/Cotto/Canelo 154 (155 in Martinez's case)
                3. Pac/Khan 147

                Floyd shouldn't be fighting anyone else in his last years as a boxer.

                  I just remembered Manny's contract with Top Rank expires after the Marquez fight. This is why Bob Arum is SO ANGRY.

                  If Arum is eliminated, Manny could let the accountants do the work post fight he’d get something close to Mayweather money-wise. Floyd already has the date and the arena lined up, all Pacquaio needs to do is take the random drug tests and the fight is on.”
