    Whom should Floyd fight next? Here are the options:

    First of all, I don't want to disrespect any fighter, I will just go through this list and give my personal opinion, I still respect all these fighters.

    Floyd vs Malignaggi:
    I love Paulie but...

    Floyd vs Maidana:
    Floyd is better than Maidana and would make him look ******, he won't stop him but win a decision.

    Floyd vs Devon Alexander:
    Alexander is a good boxer, lacks power, and he won't beat Floyd, so I don't want to see that fight.

    Floyd vs Amir Khan:
    for whatever reason I want to see that fight. Even though I have a strong feeling who would win this fight.

    Floyd vs Timothy Bradley:
    doesn't interest me. I know Floyd will win, no disrespect to Bradley, but I think he is too small and probably a level below Floyd.

    Floyd vs Keith Thurman:
    that could actually be a good fight but the boxing business would only let this happen if Thurman beats some other good opponents first.

    Floyd vs Kell Brook:
    Good fighter, but can he beat Floyd right now? When he barely beats Carson Jones?

    Floyd vs Broner:
    won't happen.

    Floyd vs Pacquiao:
    damn, bring it, I wanna see it.

    Floyd vs Erislandy Lara:
    YES. I want to see that fight.

    Floyd vs Austin Trout:
    Would interest me actually.

    Floyd vs Cotto II:
    Yes, would definitely be awesome.

    Floyd vs Carlos Molina:
    why not?

    Lara is the only one with any chance to win, but it's not marketable
    Garcia is viable because he's JWW champ and beat Lucas clearly
    Khan's marketable and can make it exciting to watch
    personally, think those are the only interesting choices

      Bradley would be more competitive than khan IMO.

        I think Garcia is excellent, I just thought he is too small physically. He is a 140 pounder and Floyd just fought at 154, so...I don't think it would be a fair fight really.

            Floyd was 146 the morning of the fight. I bet garcia was pretty close to 150 come fight night.

              Be REAL. Floyd is too good for his own good. I'm not buying anymore of his fights until I see him fight manny, sergio, GGG, or someone worth watching. Garcia gets destroyed, Amir khan gets knocked out, broner gets schooled. Golden Boy has no one that is a legit opponent for Floyd. That's why the Top Rank Golden Boy thing is going to ruin boxing.

                Nice list but the only two I see that would be financially marketable enough for showtime to guarantee Mayweather another huge purse would be Kahn or possibly Garcia. But if he did choose GGG, Sergio, or Manny I think those would generate a lot of excitement.

                  Floyd won't fight middleweights, so you won't see him fight GGG or Martinez. Those guys are too big for him, Garcia is in my opinion a possible opponent but he is a little small for a welterweight fight?

                    Garcia has earned his shot. I fully expect that to be Floyd's next fight followed by Khan.
