It looks like Floyd is fighting Guerrero on May 4 and will then fight Canelo in September if he wins. This assumes both of them win May 4, which is probably not a bad bet, but who else can come close to matching Canelo's marketability after that?
Bradley does not look like a possibility since he is with Top Rank (not that popular either) and other top WWs like Devon Alexander and Paulie don't exactly have the biggest fan bases themselves. I also don't give them much of a chance either. Trout would be a possibility, but he is also relatively unknown even after beating Cotto and likely won't become more known unless he gets a shot at Canelo, which still seems unlikely.
Danny Garcia could move up I suppose, but he still has challenges at 140 after Judah like Matthysse and maybe even Rios. There is even the possibility of a Khan rematch if Khan continues to win. I'd also like to see him fight a Kell Brook, Devon Alexander, or Robert Guerrero at 147 before getting the shot. He also isn't that popular himself yet.
Martinez looks to be the most marketable opponent after Canelo and if he beats Chavez again in September he will likely gain a little more exposure. His status as a top P4P fighter could also likely be used to great effect in promoting a Mayweather-Martinez fight, so I believe it could be a pretty big fight. Martinez is also willing to fight Floyd at 154 or below if given time to try to lose the weight in a healthy manner (especially if it is below 154).
Floyd could also retire I suppose, but it does not look like he plans to retire in 2013 from what I have read. He also said he would fight around five more times after the Cotto fight, but he has not been consistent.
Also, let me know who you think Floyd should fight .
