#1 Pac- Not happening, we all know it. If it happens it'll be both guys' last fight
#2 Martinez- Fighting in Argentina coming off of injury. Scratch that one.
#3 Canelo- Regardless of what he/GBP might say that fight isn't on their radar. He has yet to establish himself as a legit 154 contender. Forget his record, his belt, he's a kid who is basically making up for his lack of an amateur background but is getting paid for it and being called champion in the mean time.
#4 Bradley- Uncle Roger says this and the Pac fight are the only fights for Floyd. Maybe it will happen, certainly not next.
#5 Cotto/Trout -If Cotto destroys this kid will that be enough for people to want to see the rematch with Floyd? I know it won't be for me. If Trout wins in impressive fashion could this suddenly become an option?? Maybe by NSB standards; seeing as guys who win a fight on a Saturday night usually have been in fantasy fights (and won) against every fighter in the history of boxing.
I'm going with Guerrero as the opponent. Maybe they'd stack the **** out of the undercard to entice people to buy it. Canelo has May 4th reserved at MGM but does that mean he is headlining necessarily?
In the mean time, Mayweather can "brush off the cob webbs" so to speak, after his prison setance against Guerrero who, like him or not, has earned a shot.
It makes the most sense from their stand point.
I'm obviously not elated about Guererro fight but I'm not as against it as most are.
I'd honestly prefer it over Canelo, at this point in time.
If Canelo beats Cotto, then I'd be interested.

He had to sucker punch him while Josesito ROCKED HIM!
JMM - Pulled him overweight leaping 2 weight classes as his first fight at the weight. JMM NOW (ROIDED) VS JMM USING PISS? I THINK HIS ROIDED VERSION HAS A HUGE ADVANTAGE
He outclassed him but cheated him on the scales not once but twice.
Let's not mention CATCHWEIGHT.
Shane? He was a waste for both fighters. Long layoff + "big fight vs Marg but a lot of mental circumstances for Marg during that fight."
Gassed out old guy.

I'm a fan of Guerrero and would be happy for him if he got the fight but I'm not very thrilled.

Some hate it, some don't mind it.
No one's elated with it, though.
I think Mayweather knows he'll have to fight twice next year if he fights Guererro.
If he fights Guerrero, I want 2-3 fights from May 2013 - December 2014. If he only fights one time per year, I want the biggest and baddest challenger that he can find.
There's nothing wrong with fighting top contenders in your division and facing your mandatories. But if he's going to use that as an excuse to fight Guerrero, then be consistent and fight all of the top contenders/mandatories in between your big money fights.
