      I dont understand why people want to see Bradley in the ring with Floyd. Aside from the whole Top Rank thing whats that going to prove when Floyd walks through Bradley? Those numbers would be sh_it. After the Pacquiao decision Bradleys image has taken a hit, no fault of his own but it is what it is. He was better off being an unknown.

        I agree, except I would switch Canelo and Martinez around. I think Floyd fighting Martinez for the middleweight crown should be his last stand.

          One caveat. If Sergio beats JCC jr. and this scenario plays out and floyd fights and beats sergio, if jcc jr. goes up to 168 and gets a tilte, then you know floyd is gonna go after the MONSTER payday for the 168 title.

              very idealistic of a schedule

              top rank has an unspoken embargo on their fighters when it comes to fighting Floyd

              I can't see Floyd waiting that long to fight Alvarez. He doesn't strike me as the foolish type to wait around to age and allow some young punk, who he would have sweep the floor with when he was closer to his prime, gain experience

                Because what ever fight Mayweather does next, whether it's something late this year or early next year, it's going to have interest because of Floyd's jail sentence and the fact that it's Floyd.

                Plus, if Mayweather-Bradley were made, it's a good tune-up like fight for Floyd, and proves TMT and TR can work together. It's also another win for Floyd over a Top 10 P4P and prime fighter around his weight.

                If Pac-Bradley sold 900K PPV's, still not confirmed though, I'd be willing to bet May-Bradley could do 950K-1.0M PPV's.

                  Floyd beats Manny and Martinez at 160 he can retire Top 5 dead or alive.

                    Realistically though, Floyd will probably wait till the Spring to fight again.

                      December 2012 most likely a fight that won't add much to his accomplishments when we look at his career as a whole in its entirety

                      April/May 2012 Sexy Sergio or pacquiao, I can see him beating pacquiao then happily retiring since he feels so good about himself

                      Later 2012 pacquiao or Alvarez, it'll be pacquiao if Floyd wasn't able to fight him in April/May and beat Sergio instead
