    Same with Pac vs Floyd

    That leaves Khan and Maidana (if he beats Broner)

    Devon ruled himself out last night

    Porter is still a nobody,

    Floyd needs a name that can garner some money

    Garcia also would have been a option, but he said he isn't ready yet
    The Garcia fight will happen but it's in the early stages of being hyped. Much like Alvarez was a few years ago when being hyped to fight Floyd. They will probably make Broner a possible opponent as well. That's a **** fight too.

    But you're right, Mayweather vs Bradley should happen but nobody talks about it because it won't happen and it only exploits the fact that it's due to him being promoted by Top Rank.

      The possibility of Mayweather fighting Alexander was enough for a decent number of people on the boards to start pushing for Robert ****ing Guerrero instead.

          Some did but only in retaliation to people talking about Floyd possibly fighting Khan.

          Some people would have rather seen Mayweather vs Alexander but that's out the window too.

            I am. I don't want to truly believe it. It's garbage, however I would love to see Floyd embarrass Khan via Hatton turn buckle style. It would be comical and a great finish to Khan's career.

              The thing is the fight is garbage, but Khan brings the money that Showtime and Mayweather needs and want to make it a successful event. I wish someone can come and pay Mayweather $50M without worrying about the return on his money, so we can see him fight someone like Lara but that would never happen.

                Lara's not a big enough draw to make Floyd move north of 147 lbs at this time. And Cotto gave Floyd a competitive enough fight and is a big enough name to make Floyd move up again. Although I don't see Floyd matching Sergio's offer of 15 mil. If that offers even true.

                  You should except the reality that Khan is a cherry pick. Khan was set to fight Alexander and if he had won that fight I would consider him a reasonable opponent for Floyd. Khan is playing it safe by not fighting until the Mayweather fight. Losing by KO to a 140 pounder and then getting knocked down and just barely beating Diaz in England with help from the referee does not remotely earn him a Mayweather fight. Boxrec ranks Diaz as the #44th best welterweight in the world and no one else ranks Diaz at all. Khan fought Diaz at a catchweight of 143 which means Khan has never defeated a full welterweight and yet he gets a fight with the best welterweight in the world. Better fights for Mayweather than Khan would include Lara, Thurman, Porter, or the winner of the Broner-Maidana fight. Khan is Mayweather's next fight and I have accepted that fact. I believe Floyd will win by one sided KO and Khan will never again be a world champion.

                    Man everyone is so negative regarding khan. I guarantee his speed will shock mayweather. When was the last time mayweather fought ANYONE with speed....

                      As far as I'm aware, no one has out-boxed Khan. Anyone he has lost to has hurt him. If he doesn't get hurt, there are grounds for saying he has a big chance to win.
