    Bradley and JMM are signed to fight, GBP is trying to get Matthysse and Garcia lined up for 9/7, Floyd is only moving up to 154 for a mega fight so that leaves basically everyone out that isn't named Cotto or Canelo, the timing of Paulie Broner leaves that winner sitting out due to timing, Martinez is out the rest of the year, and Khan has Ramadan.

    So the only realistic options outside of Canelo are Alexander and a rematch with Cotto. Maybe Trout I guess, but I doubt Floyd fights the guy Canelo beat. I mean who am I missing?

      It's gonna be Alexander. Even with a broken hand, it'll heal in 6 weeks or so...that's like the second week in July....still well over 8 weeks to train. He can still do cardio and the like the entire time, he'll have over 8 weeks to spar even with the injury.

        Khan has been stopped way too many times, and didn't impress against Diaz on top of that.

        Alexander, doesn't have a favorable style, doesn't really stand out as a fighter.

        It's likely to be Garcia, undefeated sells and Angel makes for good television whether you like him or not.
        Garcia-Matthysse should be fighting one another. Khan won't return until December it appears. If not Canelo, Alexander is the only option. You say his style isn't favorable (to whom? Floyd? Fans? they pay to watch Floyd box), well, I actually find the match-up...for lack of a better word, fresh. I know I disregarded the prospect of that fight just months ago, but I'm willing to believe Alexander will try something different, and that's intriguing to me. Even Floyd was laughing about how all these guys come with basically the same gameplan, walk forward and try to pressure him, on All Access. I imagine Alexander would give Floyd a somewhat different look. He's an athletic guy, he has good stamina, he can box a little bit. We can't get Floyd-Bradley, why not Alexander then? He's really the only boxer there for Floyd to fight other than Trout. He's not necessarily the ideal boxer I'd have wanted Floyd to face, but he's what's out there so I'm curious enough. Now would it generate much interest? I dunno, probably just as much as Guerrero did, who apparently only had 3 fans and if that was a "financial success" then why not?

        Ideally this fight would make better sense if he had beat Brook...if Khan-Alexander happens then winner may have a realistic argument in getting a shot assuming it was won in good fashion.

          There is pretty much no one.

          That's why I think Canelo is next.

              Like I said, no idea if it was true or not, but that's what they said. I imagine part of the reason Floyd wanted Devon was because he had a title and if they had pulled out of the Brook fight he would have been stripped.

                Yeah, Canelo is obviously the front runner to land the fight. However, this wouldn't be the first time the best fight out there fails to get made

                  Yeah, I argued with all of these guys I apparently "Hang off the nuts of"

                  Day in, day out. Plenty of those posts will still be there to this day.

                  Any one that's been on here a while and even the new guys will tell you I've critisized Mayweather when there has been reason to critisize I.e Margarito in 2006 and Johsnton in the early 00's.

                  But of course, that's an "invention"

                    Being serious for a second, a spectacular win over Karass arguably puts him back in the picture.

                      LMAO that would be hilarious. Especially if he came out trying to use his ****ty attempt at the shoulder roll.
