    That's fine, and I don't blame him. There's nothing else I'm interested in that can happen, though.

      Well, I was just mentioning Maidana as a possibility because Floyd has very little to choose from at the moment. Those are the 4 top realistic choices currently. But in order from likely to least likely is Khan, Garcia, Alexander, Maidana.

          Khan, he wont get credit for beating anyone anyway might as well get a fight that will for sure sell 1M and at least Khan will make it entertaining

            khan is a dumb answer and shouldnt even be mentioned. He just got knocked out how can he possibly deserve a shot at the champ

              As someone said, it's difficult because we all want to see him in a competitive fight. The logical answer would be Danny Garcia because he's the man right now at 140 and he's gonna be moving up, but many have deemed that a non-competitive fight. It doesn't help Showtime that they are paying Floyd at least 32 mill a fight, so they are definitely looking for him to fight another PPV attraction.

              I'd like to see him fight Trout or Lara next, but neither will probably happen because I can't see those fights catching on with the casual fans. Money wise, the option that makes the most sense for May is Amir Khan (although I think Floyd will win fairly easily). Let's see what happens.

                  No one... he beats everyone from Welterweight and below. Since he's out there to make money, he won't fight the lesser known threats such as Lara and Trout. Maybe he could go for Sergio Martinez or even Golovkin (if he proves himself more!) but that is unlikely to happen because he doesn't want to fight naturally bigger guys. I don't blame him, not everyone is Roberto Duran.

                      pacquiao is the only guy that has a decent shot at beating mayweather. hand speed, combos and the ability to fight 12 hard rounds, mayweather would definately have his work cut out and i honestly think amir khan gives mayweather more trouble than most people think, he would have reach and hand speed over flloyd, 2 things he relys heavily on. flloyd hasnt really got 1 punch ko power either but im sure he could drop khan with a sustained attack.
