    Pacquiao is the only acceptable opponent. Pac will even stop by the Mayweather gym to make Floyd stop running. It's been 5 years now of ducking, enough is enough.

      How many more things need to be said to make it any more clearer?

      Floyd said right there in that interview that they'll be touring the UK. They already have the tour set.

      Khan pulls out of his fight with Alexander for "Bigger fight"

      Has a date set for May and publicily states "He hopes it's Mayweather" who also has a May date.

      He's going around America doing interviews talking about the fight.

      GBP have hinted at it time and time and time again.

      It's clear as day that's it's Khan next.

      Devon Alexander losing sealed it. If he won, I think there would have been a slight chance.

        Discussing Top Rank fighters with regards to who Floyd fights next is just dumb. Get a grip and move on.

        I still see Floyd taking a tune-up this May and then taking on Garcia in September. I wouldn't be surprised to see Garcia-Maidana made for next Spring.

          I'm expecting Garcia-Malignaggi.

          Maidana-Thurman.

          Brook-Porter (Brook's the mandatory and apparently Brook actually wants the fight)

            I wouldn't complain at all. They're gonna have to set Garcia up real nicely. I'm not sure if Malignaggi is it -- unless Danny pulls off the unthinkable and stops him.

              I honestly don't see a realistic and possible option for May that's legit other then him now. I don't see the problem with Floyd fighting and unifying titles against another Welterweight coming off a decent win streak.

              It's better then the Guerrero fight.
              Floyd fight an opponent that has 3 solid wins at WW? How about 3 fights at WW?

              So now you are confirming that Floyd has not had legit fights recently at WW:

              Marquez = 0 fights at WW
              Hatton ..= 1 fight at WW
              Ortiz .....= 1 fight at WW
              Sharmba = 1 fight at WW
              Guerrero = 2 fights at WW (1 against an opponent that dropped down to JWW)

              WHo is next?

                Floyd fighting a tune-up in May? You say it like it's a normal thing. Funny stuff but expected when it comes to Floyd and his fans.

                  If they haven't had any fights at WW at all, they better be the Top 140 fighter. Ricky Hatton was. Tim Bradley was when Pac fought him. Danny Garcia would be right now.

                  Ortiz moved up and beat Berto to win the title, was instantly a Top 3 WW. Guerrero had two fights at 147 against Top 10 WW's. Sharmba.....No one even talks about that fight....Marquez was bull, but he KO'd Manny since. Gotta give Floyd a tiny bit of credit for shutting him out.

                  Floyd's 147 resume ain't too bad

                  Judah (#5 WW)
                  Baldomir (RING WW CHAMP)
                  Hatton (#8 P4P/#1 140)
                  Marquez (#2 P4P, would go on to stop Pac at WW)
                  Mosley (#1-2 WW)
                  Ortiz (#2 WW)
                  Guerrero (#3 WW)

                  He's beaten 5 guys who were in the Top 5 there, another guy who'd won a title there, was the top 140 fighter in the world, and Top 10 P4P. And the other was a horrible fight at the time, but Marquez has since gone on to KO Pacquiao at 147.

                    Pacquiao has a bigger fan base!!!! Coward!:ANWOD:

                      I could see it.

                      Of course Pauli has the experience and savy to see the distance but I see Danny dominating him and possibly stopping him late.
