    Who should Floyd Mayweather fight next?

    Maidana has already proven what he's capable of doing to Mayweather, but will it earn him a rematch or will Mayweather's health concerns once again interfere with his judgement? I'm one of the many who think he would have beaten Mayweather had he been wearing his own gloves.

    Amir Khan, he has a win over Maidana and was suppose to be Mayweather's original opponent prior to Maidana. The improvements he made with Virgil Hunter was on full display against Collazo. Training with defensive specialist like Berto and Ward should prepare him more than any of Mayweather's previous opponents.

    Shawn Porter - young undefeated prospect, former Pacquiao sparring partner and the only one I believe could shut Mayweathers lights out. He would be on Mayweather from the jump, like Maidana but with more tools and technique. His game is still evolving, being the only man to KO Malignaggi is a testament to that notion.

    There's a murderers row of other guys who are chomping at the bits but none are more qualified than these three. Manny Pacquiao has been excluded from the equation for obvious reasons but he is and always will be the most prime candidate to face Mayweather.

    2-"IF" the fight can be made Manny to unify the ww division

        Amir Khan in November in the UK it's no contest really. Or Maidana in September if Mayweather wants to use his rematch clause.

        Then the winner of Cotto/Martinez in Spring. I like it.

          I don't think Amir Khan would be ready by November and Oscar plans on matching up the winner of Canelo/Lara against the winner of Cotto/Martinez. There's only one man out there willing to answer the call, and that man is none other than the "Magic Man" Pauli Malignaggi.

            Maidana in September, he's created enough buzz to earn the rematch. Then Khan or Thurman in May 2015.

                Maidana rematch

                Then khan may 2015

                Then Garcia sept 2015


                If khan loses before then, bump Danny up to May 2015 and have manny sept 2015


                Porter and Thurman are also in the running but won't bring as much money as the others

                  I would not mind seeing this happen:

                  Maidana rematch in september
                  Amir Khan in May
                  Canelo rematch with no catchweight as his last fight (if Saul gets pass Lara and other worthy opponent before)

                  what u guys think?

                    September 2014 - Pacquiao

                    May 2015 - Amir Khan

                    September 2015 - Shawn Porter/Thurman winner

                    May 2016 - he goes for 50-0 and goes up to 160 to fight Sergio for the MW belt then walks away.
