    Which of the possible winners the next two weeks...

    ...wouldn't you prefer get a Mayweather fight over Khan? This is quite a few potential fights here.

    Broner/Maidana winner
    Thurman/Soto-Karass winner
    Alexander/Porter winner

    This is just at welterweight too, I'm leaving Lara/Trout out of it since we know neither of them would get it. Honestly, the only potential winner there I wouldn't prefer over Khan would be Maidana. Take away Broner because of the stalking, thinks he's a brother to Mayweather crap and you're still left with 4 potential fights that would be better than Khan IMO.

    I can't imagine why Mayweather wouldn't wait a little more than a week for the dust to settle so he can pick someone besides Khan. I'm not convinced that's not what he's doing, no matter how many times Khan goes on BET.

    Thurman has the best chance out of all welterweights not surnamed Bradley.

      Alexander. Champion and good fighter.

      Thurman and Broner not ready.

      Soto-karass and Maidana are names for those two above but can upset the apple cart but dont wanna see any of them against floyd

      Also floyd has a habit of throwing out names and not fighting those guys so it looks like khan but ill wait till its announced.

      I like khan too but not for this fight. He needs to win a big fight first

        Any of them.

        I'd prefer anyone ranked in the Top 5 at 147 and the Champion at 140.

        I have no idea why Mayweather-Garcia isn't happening, to be honest.

        Doesn't make any sense to me.

          Imagine if he blows out Soto-Karass in a few rounds? That's a big, fundamentally solid power puncher. Very easy to sell as a threat. If Golden Boy doesn't let it happen, that's one thing, but why not wait and see what happens?

            I like Soto-Karass, but I expect Thurman to mow through him. Thurman is fundamentally sound and he is a puncher. I really do think Thurman out of welterweights has one of thee best chances against Floyd.

              Garcia still building. In time it will happen if both keep winning. I think he should be next too but they dont think they are ready so playing it smart i guess

                TBH, I feel like all the options are pretty crappy. There is really nothing that excites me in any of these potential match ups.

                Mayweather is just leagues above them all, it makes for a grim outlook.

                  Is Garcia guaranteed to keep winning? Garcia's good but he's not someone I expect to keep his 0 for a very long time.

                  The iron is hot right now, they should strike while it's still hot.

                    There is a combination of both size and talent at 154. The problem is that Floyd won't fight any threatening fighter there without a catchweight apparently.
