Mayweather Options at 147

Agree he should stay at 154, but Lara isn't really a good option, Mayweather will likely fight Amir Khan next and this will be his last fight at 147.

Every time someone say Lara isn't a draw.. They are the problem!!

I disagree. The best options are at 147. The big fights may be difficult to make at WW but they are 10x better. Pacquiao and Bradley are excellent options but at the moment they aren't likely. Both fighters should become free agents in a year or so though. There are also possible fights with Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman at 147 in the near future. Broner is also an option albeit a longshot at the moment. Then you have other fighters like Matthysse, Maidana and Porter who are a big win away from being in the hunt.

At 154, I don't see many solid options especially since Floyd only goes there for big money fights. The only person I would like to see him face is Lara and that fight isn't really likely at all. Guys like Trout, Molina, Angulo, Kirkland, Canelo, Andrade and Vanes are not realistic options. I can't see Floyd fighting any of them. Canelo would have to go on an amazing streak to get another shot at Floyd.

Guys, quit talking like Bradley and Garcia are options for Floyd. Bradley is with TR and Garcia doesn't want the fight.

Like it or not, there are no realistic choices at 147 that are significantly better than Khan.

He could fight porter or Maidana.... or thurman. Devon is out now. Porter now has his spot. Also he could fight Garcia at WW.

all better fights than freakin Khan

LOL at Pacman being a great option. 2014 people, that fight sucks. This isn't 2010. Pacman has been knocked stiff, beaten and looked his age.

The best fights, (as far as competitive) are at 154. I do not get paid when Floyd fights, therefore I have absolutely no interest in how much he makes. I gotta look out for number 1, me.

Floyd/Lara is thee most interesting fight imo. At welterweight I'd settle for even Porter/Floyd over Khan.

No. Lara is the problem. If you're a professional boxer, it is part of your responsibilities to make yourself a draw. This is a business, no one owes anyone anything, and only whiny b*tches demand big fights without bringing any business upside to the table. Make yourself a draw or fight for low pay. That's the way it works.

Please educate us. How does a fighter make themselves a draw??

Porter has zero fanbase, and the Alexander win doesn't erase the fact that he struggled with Julio Diaz. Khan did too, and was panned and ridiculed for it, so why does Porter get a pass?

Maidana actually has a loss to Khan, so how would he be a better choice?

Devon has just lost as you said, and even before the loss, he wasn't particularly deserving.

As I have repeatedly said, Garcia has gone on record saying he doesn't want the fight.

Thurman who? They guy's best win is a shot to shi.t Quintana.
