Cotto rematch, Pacman, or Khan. I wouldn't mind Khan at all. I'm tired of watching Mayweather fighting slow flat footed latino fighters lmao

I voted for Canelo at the full 154 pounds if he is going to hold onto those 154 pound world titles. He is supposed to defend them a minimum of once a year and may will be over a year and a half he has held the jr middleweight title hostage. Canelo is the number one 154 pound contender after his win over Lara. If Floyd drops his 154 pound titles then fighting Garcia make a lot more sense then fighting Khan who was KOed by Garcia in 4 rounds.

It's funny that if it comes to Garcia or Khan. Khans own argument will backfire on him. He said Floyd shouldn't fight Maidana because he beat him.
Now why should Floyd fight Khan if Garcia beat him.

Danny makes sense. The only drawback would be that Danny could look terrible in that fight, given the style he's facing. Haymon might not want that. But otherwise it makes sense.
Cotto, Khan, and obviously Manny are more interesting fights. But Khan doesn't deserve a shot, and we know the story with the Pac fight. The Cotto fight might work, but if it happens, I hope it's at 154 with Cotto vacating his middleweight title.
The thought of Floyd (or Manny) being the lineal middleweight champ makes me sick.

Should be Manny obviously but we all know THAT will never happen.
Khan was on his sights when he took Maidana who has been making a lot of noise. Could be, Khan is a weaker opponent of chin and fist that should delight Floyd but given how fast and conditioned Khan is and how Floyd is slipping now it's no guarantee Khan would lose now either so I have doubts Floyd will be taking that fight now either!
Canelo rematch? I am sure Saul would jump at the chance to try again but considering how thoroughly he was beaten last time it's tough to envision it the other way. Mayweather would be confident of a repeat performance but then again, Alvarez might not be drained and better prepared this time round. Thing with Canelo is he is the strongest of the bunch but also notably just that much slower to enable Floyd to avoid most and catch him often. But just a little tweak in the other directions for Canelo to score and I doubt Floyd could take too many of those.
Cotto rematch is a more prominent question mark given recent form too for Floyd.
Really, there are many could be Floyd beaters now. The last 3 steps to 50-0 are actually fraught with peril for Floyd unless he utterly baby steps his way to the line.
Somehow I doubt any of those 3 fights will feature his natural opponent in Manny though

Amir Khan? It may make some good money but no one can say FOR SURE. But may be competitive because of Khans speed.
Canelo Alvarez 2? The only reason to make the 2nd fight is for financial reasons. It will make big money. Period.
Keith Thurman? It can be competitive and hardcores will love it but no money here.
Danny Garcia? Can be good money ( two unbeatens with names) can be competitive, maybe, ...it's interesting.
Miguel Cotto 2? Very interesting, very competitive, and good money. We all talk about the Canelo vs Cotto clash and it's great.
But if I were managing Cotto, I would tell him to take Floyd 1st, if you lose Canelo will still be there. If you fight Canelo and lose..you will never get that Floyd 2.
What's your vote and why?
Floyd's May 2015 opponent is going to be Amir Khan. All Khan has to is win his next fight. Same goes for Danny Garcia, he has time to get in two good wins before a september 2015 showdown with Floyd. I guess the alternatives to Khan and Swift are Canelo II and Keith Thurman. Floyd has actually mentioned a rematch with Alvarez.
