I guess Khan won't ever go away as an option either, but if he went to WW, got a decent win, then fought Brook, I could see the winner getting a shot. I think Broner is a possibility too, regardless of how good a friends they are right now. They just seem like hard sells ATM.
    Once a win happens there though, it won't be.

    If Lamont Peterson beats Lucas, I have no problem with him fighting Floyd. Garcia/Judah winner can rematch Khan in the fall. Peterson would have recent wins over Khan (when he was THE MAN at 140, aside from an inactive Bradley) and Matthysse (who is one of the top guys at 140 too). Very good wins for him.

    If Devon wins, I'd like to see him fight Thurman/Chaves, Berto/Soto Karass, Ortiz, or even Guerrero even if he loses to Floyd. Same goes for Kell Brook.

          It's been well documented by now that the contract with Showtime s for a single fight only, with options for more to a maximum of 30 months and 6 fights. It's been assumed that Mayweather can stop anytime before then. It has never been made clear whether Showtime has the same option, what IS clear is that Mayweather is definitely booked for one fight.

          I don't know why you ignore the facts. I don't think it's likely that a man who's had 5 fights in nearly seven years, could suddenly switch to a tough fight every 5 months at age 36. I don't think his body would stand it, and I don't think it would pay him well enough.Also, I don't think he'll do it.

          Of course it's only my opinion, but there's justificatrion for it.

            How long do you suggest his body takes to recover from one fight because it certainly would not take 12 months?

              Floyd can fight every 6-8 months probably.

              He didn't fight after Cotto because he spent the summer in jail. Had he been released on house arrest, I'm willing to bet he would have fought in November or December.

                I reckon he could fight twice a year as well if he wants. Edgarg is just writing another short novel of dribble.

                  Just to me anyway, Peterson admitting he was on testosterone PRIOR to the Khan fight, bothers me. Maybe it was for medical reasons, but it still bugs me. Also doesn't he have to fight the winner of Garcia/Judah as per the GBP 140 pound tourney? I wouldn't mind the winner of the whole thing getting a shot at Floyd, while Canelo gets him in September if he can beat Trout. If Brook wins, I'd be good with him fighting the Thurman/Chaves winner. I think Ortiz will fight the Berto/Soto Karass winner after his tune up in September.

                  If Broner does stay at WW after Malignaggi, I wouldn't mind him getting Guerrero coming off the Floyd loss. There are possibilities and Floyd would be the one selling these fights, so the opponent isn't as critical. I guess will just have to see what unfolds in the coming months.

                    A LOT of fighters can sprout out of no where. We know this.

                    At 140 you have Danny Garcia as the biggest name there.

                    At 147 Alexander and Thurman are possibilities.

                    At 154 you have the winner of Canelo-Trout.

                    There's also other guys that could just come out of nowhere. You never know, him and Broner could have a falling out and have bad blood against each other and that is a possibility. If Ortiz can come back, there's that rematch with an older Floyd and the way it ended, it could be interesting. If Maidana beats Lopez, there's another possibility.

                    There's the winner of the 140 tourney, other than Garcia who just mentioned, Peterson, Matthysse, Khan. If Cotto beats the winner of Trout-Canelo, there's that other possibility, May-Cotto II.

                    Of course, there's always that big risk to fight Martinez.
