    This is going to be a send off fight, and really only two names fit in that plan...Garcia or Alexander. If I had to bet, I'd say we'll be seeing Mayweather vs. Alexander in September.

    There is absolutely no way he'd step in the ring with Thurman. Although, I feel he would handle Thurman easily. If Bundu gave One Time problems, what would Mayweather do?

    Khan can't make the fight date, so he's out of the picture. Once again, easy work for Mayweather as well due to Khan squaring up too much. I only like the idea of this fight for one reason...so Mayweather can go out like Ted Williams hitting a home run in his last at bat.

    The fight that I really want to see, but won't happen is Cotto. The possibility of leaving the sport with three lineal championships would be huge. We can forget about all of that for several reasons though. Haymon vs. Roc Nation, Mayweather doesn't seem to care about the belts, and the WBC will probably strip Cotto anyway.

    Brook...no where near ready for Mayweather! And as I just said, Mayweather is done chasing belts.

    On to GGG...not big enough yet for Showtime and HBO to work together on a PPV to put this one on. Although I do hope that Floyd comes back next year and challenges GGG for 50-0 to finally silence everyone.

    After all of that, we're only left with Garcia or Alexander. I can't see Garcia taking the fight even if Uncle Al told him to. Alexander on the other hand is tailor made for a send off fight.
    Alexander? .... he used him as a red herring 2 years ago when he was champion and on a decent winning streak, no way he's gonna fight him now coming off a lopsided loss.

      Don't want to see a Cotto fight, typical recycled fight. If he is going to fight from 155-160 then he should fight Golovkin or not bother moving up.

      I think he fights Thurman next, fights the usual bill of coming off a good win and is free for September unlike Khan.

        I really thought Manny would do it, if Thurman does it then wow.


        I used to doubt Thurman but he's much better than I thought.

            Me and Elroy1 are demanding the rematch!

            If he avoids it it's disgraceful!

            Utterly disgraceful!

              There's no way that Pacquiao can make a September turn around with his injured shoulder. Nobody wants to hear Pac fans cry about how he wasn't at 100% for two fights. Although, if Manny told his fans that God magically healed his shoulder, they'd probably pay $200 for the PPV.

                He's gonna fight Danny Garcia. If Floyd fights Thurman I will be shocked. A Cotto fight (If Cotto wins) could be possible I guess.
