    1. Pacquiao 2
    2. Mayweather
    3. Canelo
    4. Chavez Jr.
    If Pac doesn't demand a catchweight, I'd go for Pac first and if he wins, the fight with Floyd becomes that much bigger. Canelo would be great, but I just don't see Golden Boy doing it. Chavez Jr. just to become the first Puerto Rican with 4 titles in 4 weight classes.

      I'd go for Alvarez. It's a big fight, and he's coming off a fight against another well-known Mexican fighter. So, the Mexican/Puerto Rican bull**** heats up again. Also, Cotto will likely be the A-side to this agreement and that means that his stature goes up regardless of the outcome (Unless he loses badly, of course.) So, he's assured at least one decent fight to retire on or what have you.

      Also, Canelo is beatable and has a ABC belt. A unification would help his legacy and he'd essentially be the guy at 154.

      Canelo seems obvious. Everyone else has some big rewards, but a likely loss or too tough a test with no real upside.

        Pacman-Cotto 2. That's the fight I wanna see. I know some are not sold on it, but I believe Cotto can win the rematch above 149.

        People are up in arms ****ting on the Cotto Margo win, but they supported the Pacman-Marquez 3 dicision. If Cotto boxes & moves I'm certain that I here the "Pacman has leg cramps", excuse yet again. Roach needs to teach that guy to cut off the ring or else he stands no chance again sound boxers (who are not shot to pieces).

          You talking about Saul "Canelo" Alvarez?

            Agreed. Canelo's 0 is ripe for the taking, he's still young and vulnerable, so this is the perfect time for a veteran to beat him before he gets too big. The #1 and #2 of the division face off, perfect fight.

              I would fight a hand picked opponent, so to speak. A guy he can beat but has momentum. Look impressive and set up the Pacquiao rematch/Mayweather fight. As it is he is considered a big underdog and that may drive a small bit of money away from the table.

              I would actually target the winner of the Ortiz vs Berto rematch at Welterweight. Puts him back in the rankings there lining him up for Mayweather or Pacquiao in every possible way.
