    We have seen Mayweather vs Maidana already. Kahn has been Champ for awhile but has had some really disappointing losses as well. Why not give a young lion a chance at super stardom?

    My guess is Floyd will avoid a match with Shawn Porter with the same enthusiasm he has shown with Manny Pacquiao.

        Two scenarios I'd prefer for Mayweather.

        Scenario I

        Sept 2014: Cotto-Martinez winner for MW title.
        May 2015: Erislandy Lara if he beats Canelo if not then Amir Khan if he has another quality WW win.
        Sept 2015: Either Porter or Thurman if they continue winning and racking up quality wins.
        *Wild Card: Rematch with Canelo at 154 (no CW) if he continues winning. (Doubt he can make the weight though).

        Scenario II (if Cotto-Martinez winner faces Canelo-Lara winner)

        Sept 2014: Rematch with Maidana
        May 2015: Winner of Cotto/Martinez vs Canelo/Lara fight.
        Sept 2015: Either Porter or Thurman.
        *Wild Card: Fight with Manny Pacquiao if he leaves Top Rank (Doubt it).

          I want to see Amir Khan vs Floyd. IMO he looks to be pretty solid at WW.

          Let him have another fight at WW, the winner of Porter Brook should be good.

            You said Shawn Porter being the only man to KO Malignaggi is a testament to that notion? right? Maybe you have a shallow Memory cause Khan was the first man to do that.

              Khan reason: He has the best resume out of 3.

              But I won't mind A Chinno rematch, he has earned it.

                3-final fight-go for the lineal middleweight title
                I agree with all of this.

                  Good post. I like scenario 1.

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

                      Kahn vs Mayweather is an exciting fight. You can almost bet someone is getting KTFO.
