    1. Pac
    2. Sergio
    3. Khan
    It looks like Khan wants to fight winner of Berto-Ortiz first to get his bearings at 147 so we might need to wait on that fight. Sergio-May at 154 would be a toss-up IMO

      Realistic matchups?

      Pacquiao, Khan, Canelo.


      Match ups that probably won't happen? Mayweather vs Martinez.

        1. Pacquiao (Mainly to get it over with, it's still a mismatch)

        2. Sergio Martinez (He's getting up there in age so 2nd is fitting, huge threat IMO)

        3. Timothy Bradley (He's versatile, more so than Khan)

                martinez @154
                khan

                khan still has time so he's not priority. seeing berto as a possibility down the road.

                  I get you. My thinking is Khan, even though he fights at 140, is a naturally bigger man than Floyd. As much as I want to see Sergio, he's so much larger that 160 would be a huge disadvantage for Floyd, and vice-versa, 150-154 would likely sap Sergio and taint that fight in my eyes. It'd have to be 160 or bust, for me, and though it'd be disappointing, I'd understand if it didn't happen so long as Floyd fights quality opponents around his weight.

                    I wouldn't mind Bradley at all, I just feel Khan has the attributes and dimensions that could lend themselves to having much more success against Floyd. Amir's frame and speed remind me a lot of a young Oscar.
