    Who actually deserves next shot at Mayweather?

    My own opinions . . . .

    Certainly not Khan.

    Rule out anyone above 147 as Floyd is a welter (at most).

    Who does that leave?

    As the top 140lber, Garcia might qualify but he doesn't appear to want that fight and, until he wins at welter, many would criticise Floyd for "picking on a smaller guy" - even though it would not be the case!

    So probably eeds to be holder of another version of title or, at least, a top-ranked welter.

    Rule out Bradley or Pacquiao as, although the best 2 fights out there, they are with Top Rank.

    Who is left?

    Maidana?

    Bradley deserves him the most, as for the most deserving viable option...that would be Danny Garcia.

        Bradley, Garcia. IMO those are his most legit shot. Pacquiao really doesn't, no matter how u look at it. Only thing that makes that fight desirable is the history behind it and the hype.

          My first choices for the past 3 or 4 years have been Sergio Martinez and Manny Pacquaio. Those have been the best fights to be made but we know they aren't going to happen.

          Outside of that - Danny Garcia has "earned it" but he would lose all 12 rounds.

            Garcia not wanting the fight is pure bullshit. It's just something Golden Boy told him to say so it's an excuse Mayweather has when he fights Khan instead. Golden Boy is cashing out on Khan before he loses again.

              Why rule out anyone above 147?
              He's fought at 154lbs before is he too scared to test himself lol.

                  Agree with all of this.

                  Possibly Martinez.
