    At this point, there aren't any realistic names besides GBP fighters. I'll let him slide with Khan, as long as he fights Matthysse/Canelo.

    Bradley ain't happening.
    JMM could happen.
    Pac ain't happening.

    Fugg it. Khan will do for now. Plus I like his style against Floyd's.

      He'll fight Khan eventually. Golden Boy has wanted to make that fight since they signed him and Floyd has said after the Hatton fight he would like to go to the UK and fight.
      Probably happens next year once he ducks Canelo and says he is asking for too much money or whatever the next excuse will be.
      Pretty surprised that Floyd is actually fighting in September. Doesn't make much sense since he won't be fighting a mexican on their independence day weekend but Golden boy can stack the card with Abner Mares, Angulo and others.

        Floyd's never going to fight outside of Vegas... Why? Why even let the POSSIBILITY of getting robbed happen at this point.. he has his guaranteed money, no point.

          I think I'd prefer just about anybody than Khan. With so many injured and such the best we could probably hope for is Kell Brook but I'd much rather that than Khan.

            Angel Garcia would help sell the fight.

            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.

              Yea I don't see Floyd ever fighting outside of Vegas. If every sports team could have home court advantage, they'd take it. No reason why Floyd would fight not only outside Vegas but the MGM Grand.

                Yes, Khan's a chinless joke, but I'd rather see how Floyd deals with Khan's style than Danny "cement in his boots" Garcia.

                  More than likely it'll be Floyd Sr and Jr vs Angel as Danny is on the side like

                    Although, I DO KNOW Canelo really wants the Floyd fight, he may in deed make considerable concessions to make the fight... but I think Garcia is a huge probability, especially considering the ease of the fight for Floyd, IMO.

                      I reckon a lead right hand, probably in the mid rounds will lead Floyd to a TKO victory. I'm not intrigued, I'm not even interested in Khan-Matthysse, or Khan-Garcia II, maybe Khan-Peterson as Lamont is coming off of a lost, but even then...I don't doubt that Peterson stops him this time around. Khan is done, he was never that good to begin with, and now his durability, what little he had is absolutely gone.
