    he should fight pacman. thats who he should fight.

    other than that, martinez is there for the taking at 160 if he wants a challenge.

    not really interested in mayweather vs anybody else. even martinez isnt that great, id expect mayweather to outbox him pretty easy.

      I think Amir is going to be next. Outside of Manny (which isn't about to happen anytime soon) Amir has the largest fan base. And holding this fight in the UK would be huge over there. After the Guerrero fight I don't see Floyd getting a guarantee for an opponent who has no chance unless that have a really solid fan base.

        Pacquiao, Martinez, or Golovkin. Not really interested in any other fights.

          since Cotto might be fighting thee MW champ.....Floyd might have to fight at 147....I don't wanna see him fight Swift just yet but the young vet EARNED a shot the right way....it is what it is....Floyd can fight the Cotto-Maravilla winner next September to complete a remarkable 3 fight stretch in which he would have fought and defeated thee JMW king(Nelo), thee JWW king(Swift), and the winner of the MW fight mentioned.....that would be a sick run that would HAVE to be respected!!

          I don't think Floyd is slipping fast enough to get caught...dude is too far ahead of the competition!!

            Well it definitely won't be Pacquiao or Bradley since their both with Top Rank. It's pretty much between Khan, Maidana if he beats Broner, Alexander, or Danny Garcia if he moves up to Welterweight. One of those 4 is getting the fight in May. Keith Thurman, if he stays undefeated will get a Floyd fight in 2015. If I had to guess Floyd's last 4 fights in order will be Khan, Garcia, Thurman & Bradley.

              What weight do you think Floyd would fight Sergio at though? If it's at 154, there's no point of the fight since Sergio would be too drained. He fights & fought his best opponents at 160.

                How would maidana earn a shot just by beating broner? Lol broner has a better resume than maidana

                  Those three, Cotto rematch, Bradley, Khan or Thurman for me.

                  Barker at a catchweight would be a good fight but Barker's tied up.

                  No Alexander, Garcia or anything boring. I watch this sport to be entertained.

                  If its Khan next, smdh.
                  Nah, he who pays the piper calls the tune - that's Showtime.

                  Garcia doesn't even sound like he wants the shot.

                    He should fight Garcia at 147 or Martinez or Cotto at 154. All three can easily be made and all would be decent fights.

                      I agree with Timothy Bradley if he defeats JMM this Saturday or the winner of Khan vs Alexander if that fight happens which doesn't seems very likely at the moment!

                      But Khan should not get a "Free Pass Go Directly To Mayweather" Card, he has to fight somebody GOOD at 147 first at least a Top 10 Current Welterweight First! Fight Robert Guerrero? Kelly Brook? how about Diego Chaves? All are available, for him to just sit back until May 2014 and get a unearned shot a Mayweather would be a JOKE!
