    I want to see GGG finally get his hands on Cotto next. But if Cotto is going to vacate..then i'd want to see him fight Alvarez.

    As for Khan. Isn't he out of the running to fight Mayweather due to Ramadan?

      His finale should be against a hungry young lion like Thurman.
      Sure, why not. Thurman has earned a shot at Floyd by fighting the Soto Karass and Leonard Bundu's of the world.

        You wouldn't believe how many people think that's the resume to beat Floyd lol.

            Cotto is focused on losing to Canelo after the Geale fight. No point in a rematch with Floyd he already lost decisively.

            Plus hes vacating his belts so he wouldn't be simultaneously holding 3 lineal titles. Either fight Golovkin or there's no point moving above 154.

              Winning the lineal title against a fighter you already beat comprehensively isn't that impressive

              Why not fight Andy Lee for the WBO title? That currently has the same worth as the lineal one ...

                Cotto rematch please.

                Retiring as lineal at welterweight, junior middleweight, and middleweight would be epic.

                Then he can come back at 40 for one more fight to get to 50-0. Hopefully Pacquiao will have grown a third shoulder by then.

                  Guerrero isn't an improvement. Soto and Guerrero walk right into punches and Thurman still did not have an easy time. How is going to do against a guy who doesn't walk into anything? Just stop, he has no shot.

                    We wouldn't even be talking about Floyd moving up if GGG was the lineal champion. The sad part is that Floyd/Cotto 2 is probably one of the better options.

                      He convincingly beat both Karras and Guerrero plus Guerrero is an improvement from Karras.

                      If Mayweather didn't walk into anything you would be right but being a great defensive fighter doesn't mean he don't walk into anything.

                      Thurman's speed is overlooked, i would expect Mayweather to win but i think Thurman would seriously hurt if not drop him at some point... better than a recycled fight against someone he already beat decisively. A Cotto rematch adds very little to his legacy.
