    I dont see it out there, I think Floyd knew damn well and good in his mind that he had 1 out of 6 fights that he might be tested...............he already had that test. There isnt anyone out there that is going to really give him a hard time.
    Alexander/Khan winner
    Timothy Bradley
    Manny Pacquiao - if he can bounce back
    Lara/Trout/Molina/Andrade - whoever comes out on top
    Keith Thurman/Danny Garcia/Adrien Broner - whoever comes out on top

    I'd approve of all of those fights. With the way the schedule works, next year I would want:

    Alexander/Khan in May
    Defend the 154 title in September

    And 2015 is too far away to worry about.

      Lara needs 1 big win and id say fk yes. Trout or Canelo would do, and sadly i believe Trout would be more possible than Canelo because i dont think they want to risk Canelo right away again but if they do props, and should be a good fight. Idk if Cotto qualifies as a huge win at the moment depends how he looks in his next fight.

        154 just needs a unification tournament with the winner being an opponent. Lara, Trout, Andrade/Vanes and Molina.

        Canelo will probably fight Angulo, Cotto and then move up.
        Or just fight Molina because he is better or more proven than those guys at this point.

        Literally that is the most unattractive tournament ever and the winner would likely be in a worse place because of those fights even though they would be quality wins. The winner would probably be Molina also~ Lara hasn't changed since that fight he ain't beating Molina, Trout probably can't deal with him either, Andrade might but how he would have to win is like what he did to Brewer and is that really going to make him an option.

        If you want to see Floyd fight a quality boxer Molina is the guy, he probably can make Floyd look worse than about anyone which is probably a reason to make the fight because Floyd will still win but he won't look like Floyd so the fight would likely suck but it would sell the next fight.

          but Floyd's not gonna stay at JMW or ever face Lara anyway
          would give this to Floyd 60-40, Lara could definitely beat him
          Floyd wouldn't take the risk though
          Lara's gotta settle for Molina 2 or Angulo 2, preferably Angulo
          I wish you stop posting the same crap

          Every fight after Floyd breeze through there's another "most" threatening opponent

            Lara/Trout should have been on "The One" but Trout's promotional issues killed it. He's in a legal battle now.

            But once that gets settled, you get Lara/Trout with the winner fighting Molina/Cotto or somebody. Canelo of course would be a good fight but I expect him to be protected and rebuilt. I don't think that's far fetched at all.

            I'm not sold on Floyd/Molina yet because if Molina is not allowed to do his thing inside the fight would suck. Floyd will grab him and use his elbows to keep him from closing the distance.

              Molina can't beat Floyd, he can make him look iffy and limit him but he would never win that battle.

              Until Lara can prove he can deal with a guy like Molina, I don't want to see him in with Floyd. Trout would be a decent win but not enough to make me forget about that Molina fight.

              Molina should probably be the gate keeper for Floyd at 154.

                Floyd's final fights are most likely going to take place at 147, unless a big money presents itself which is not happening.

                  The was the same slow one dimensional Angulo as always. The FACT is he struggled no matter what version of Angulo he was fighting. The other part about Mayweather beating him easily, well that's my opinion. I wouldn't think I had to explain that since the fight didn't happen yet.

                    molina would be tougher than lara because of molina's awkward style.

                      Mayweather is not fighting above 147 unless it's big big money.

                      I don't know how many times this needs to be said.
