    Does anyone think Pauli Malignaggi is a viable option if he beats Broner? Can you imagine how high his stock will be if he defeats Broner?

      If it's true about Golden Boy making Garcia-Lucas and Alexander-Khan, than it has to be Canelo.

      I think Floyd knows he needs a fight this year in September that will be anticipated enough to be huge payday and something better than Guerrero was, though I do believe Guerrero was a legit opponent for May. And it's really only Canelo.

        No. If he beats Broner, Al Haymon will feed Paulie to Keith Thurman. That being said, I have a hard time seeing Paulie beat Broner.

          Schaefer is 90/10 sure that Matthysse/Garcia will happen so that really just leaves Canelo and Alexander.

          Only way Garcia happens is if Haymon doesn't think much of him so he tries to sneak in a payday before feeding him to Matthysse.
          There's no way he's fighting Alexander on that date, that's gonna be huge losses for Showtime. Floyd needs more PPV momentum to make that fight, like after beating Alvarez.

              After the Guerrero FIASCO, the ONLY fight that will make MASSIVE $$ is CANELO at 154. NOTHING ELSE !!!

              Sooooo stop with those Jr. Welterweights suggestions.

                Canelo is about as ready as he'll ever be. He beat Trout, to my surprise, and legitimized himself. It's time to happen finally.
                Mosley was WELL past his prime. Canelo is entering his Prime, I would love that fight

                  Yes. But EVERYONE wanted Floyd to fight Mosley when he did, and Mosley avoided Floyd when he was closer to prime, so he can only blame himself.

                  No one thought Floyd was going to fight Mosley, everyone said Floyd was "crapping his pants", "would duck Mosley", "doesn't want to fight him", he does and beats him.....and everyone flipped their thoughts on the fight after the fact. Biggest 180 in recent memory on a fight going in.

                    Ortiz is an option, he was on dancing with the stars.

                      Should be Canelo but If Lucas wasn't lined up to fight Garcia next and was willing to go to 147, id love a Mayweather Matthysse fight. He's better then khan, Devon or Garcia.
