    They're waiting on Canela for Cinco de Mayo next year. Fight Pacquiao you convicted felon!

      The most marketable fight is easily ginger. Does he deserve it, has he earned the right?? Absolutely not.

      Martinez if he beats Chavez would be the furthest fighter from Floyd's mind. Anyway I'm leaning towards Chavez, so maybe he's safe.

        The Chavez/Martinez fight is set on a bigger stage with more eyes interested than Canelo's fight. The momentum the winner of this fight will carry will be huge and Martinez, if he wins, would be a household name in the Hispanic market. Canelo, obviously, would still be the bigger name, but less accomplished, less tested and it would be a ***** move for Floyd to ignore Martinez even after he's said he would be open to a fight with him. After Martinez, he'd be able to shoot for Canelo.

          I agree, but honestly, when was the last time Floyd took on a dangerous fighter? Martinez is too risky to Floyd's 0. His fans will support the ginger fight & even brag about it.

            As of right now Canelo is more marketable but after Martinez whoops Chavez he'll be the man at 154/160. His ppv numbers will squash Canelo's and he'll have a big name on his resume, a very attractive opponent for Floyd.

              I can see a Fight with Alexander. He is a legit and all around boxer. Also former WBC and IBF junior welterweight champ.
              This could be a great fight! Martinez is a legit fighter but I don't see that fight happening.

                Cotto II, Canelo (mostly because he is Mexican which makes him Marketable for A Cinco De Mayo Date, not because anybody believes he can actually beat Mayweather)

                Other then that I don't know, somebody needs to emerge from 147 and 154 and get some impressive wins, Robert Guerrero I still think is a guy that can really put himself in the running with a very impressive Victory, I think after seeing him on HBO 24/7 and seeing the story about him helping his wife battle cancer, that fight would become very marketable by the time fight night comes

                    Pacquiao wouldn't fight Martinez in any weight from 150 plus, so don't be picky about where Floyd fights him from either 150-154.

                      Actually Pacman said they'd fight him at 150. But when Martinez said lets do it, they retreated to 147.
