    This topic needs a sticky for itself because it pops up every few days on the first page. "Who should Floyd fight next?"

    Floyd will fight:

    A) Danny Garcia
    B) Amir Khan
    C) Miguel Cotto
    D) Kell Brook
    E) Keith Thurman

      Out of every fighter on that list, Timothy Bradley is truly the only guy that deserves that big payday! His resume speaks for itself. With the exception of Cotto, there is no one who's resume that comes close. A Cotto fight with Floyd would look exactly the same, and probably be easier for Floyd. I think Khan has a style that would give Floyd fits and Thurman has the size, athletic ability, and power to make Floyd work extremely hard. But both lack the experience and championship caliber opponents to pull it off. Once again, its Bradley with all the intangibles and championship experience to give Floyd the most serious challenge. Now, of course that fight will never happen because of the politics and because Tim doesn't have that crossover fan base needed for a big ppv event.

        My personal choices would be:

        Brook
        Khan
        Thurman
        Porter/Broner

        In that order.

        None stand a chance though.

          Amir Khan. The rest of the fights on that list will be boring one sided schoolings. The only thing intriguing about Floyd's next fight is can he end his career with a stoppage.

          Cotto would be a good fight too but I've seen it already.

            The winner of Khan vs Brook! Tell them to fight each other and the winner gets their shot! I would prefer that instead of him just "Picking".

              From that list, I like GGG, Brook and Lara. I'd add Terrance Crawford and Demetrius Andrade. Probably be someone with zero chance of beating Floyd, like Khan or Cotto.

                Keith Thurman would be a good choice, but I don't think it'd happen..


                So either Khan or Brook.
                Why don't you think Mayweather-Thurman will happen?

                  Khan or a black fighter....Pac and Mosley are the only non latino fighters he's faced in years....that's kinda strange if you ask me

                    I voted Thurman because that should have been made after Broner vs Porter got signed.

                    But I am okay with Brook being Mayweather's final opponent.

                    F**K Amir Khan.

                      Because to win a round against Mayweather you have to completely dominate him.
