    Why don't they just cut the crap and mention who is worthy of a fight with Floyd rather than ruling out & pissing on other fighters resumes.

    The only one who I can think of that fits their criteria and is possible is Danny Garcia.

      "It hasn't raised his stock"

      Kell Brook was widely derided as a bum on NSB until he defeated Porter, now people are calling him a legit Mayweather opponent.

      So, his stock has been raised significantly in the eyes of boxing fans & casuals.

        Kell has only one good win. If he fights Floyd and gets blanked out they will say he cherry picked him.

        Kell is a win away to be strongly considered for the two top 147.

          Well no beating Shawn Porter doesn't make you "READY FOR MAYWEATHER" but no question that puts him in the Mix with the rest of the Top Welterweights

          But I'm sure Kell Brook himself knows he is not that at level yet but he is working his way up

            Well he is probably more deserving than Guerrero was. No disrespect to Guerrero there, i think he's a good fighter in his own right but i'd say if he was deserving a shot then Brook definitely is. You could probably say the same about Ortiz really, he won a title by beating Berto so he got a shot.

              Kell Brook isn't Mexican or Hispanic. Mayweather doesn't tend to fight other black fighters. It's pretty much that simple.

              The thing that Brook has going for him is that he's British but he's nowhere near popular enough to get Mayweather's attention which is why Khan will likely get the shot before him.

                He did actually, but too bad that wasn't included in the article. And too bad you didn't click on the link which referenced the full interview.

                Robert Brown: Who do you think the frontrunner for Floyd’s next fight is at this stage?

                Jeff Mayweather: To be honest, I can’t really say who it is because I’m not one hundred percent sure. If they do it by names — which Floyd normally does — it may actually help the pay–per-view revenue, it’s gonna possibly be Khan or maybe Pacquiao next for Floyd, because there’s no other options out there in the weight class that make any sense.

                  I have to agree with him. Kell Brook has a lot to be desired before he steps into the ring with Floyd. He's at least 4 in line IMHO.

                      If he could beat Khan then I think maybe.

                      Still unlikely.
