      Floyd has very few options, basically Khan or GGG. It could be Brook or Thurman, but only if Thurman doesn't fight Collazo in July, and Brook doesn't go ahead with the Rios fight. Porter did not look good enough to challenge Floyd, especially after getting dropped in the 12th!

          I agree, he doesn't need to fight again! However, if he wants people to pay $70 for a PPV, he has to fight GGG, Brook, Thurman, or Khan. I would love to see Floyd vs. Lara, but the "so-called" boxing fans wouldn't support it. I think Lara has the skill set to actually beat Floyd, but it won't happen.

                    As a Lara fan I disagree. Lara's main issue is that he CONSTANTLY leaves it to the judges. He takes very few risks. Any fighter that plans to have a chance against Floyd cannot leave it to judges in Vegas. It's a recipe for disaster. He's already gotten screwed in his biggest fights and he's complained after the fact that he doesn't know why it keeps happening.

                    Khan looked average against Algieri which IMO stunts his chance.
                    I don't see Floyd going up in weight to rematch Cotto (especially THIS Cotto) or GGG.
                    Thurman didn't look impressive (to me) against Guerrero, who Floyd walked right through. I mean impressive FOR THURMAN. It was a good fight but Thurman should have put Ghost away by round 8.

                    Nobody knows or cares who Kell Brook is in the US. Except true boxing followers. It's a shame, but it's fact. Had he the flashiness of Hamed, he'd be a superstar by now. He's already got the same voice and facial structure.


                    Given that, the one fighter I can see with the mindset to get it done is, ironically, the only other active fighter that Floyd has never faced but has also beaten Manny Pacquiao ("no matter how you cut it, slice it or dice it...." -- Floyd Mayweather), and he's beaten Marquez handily.

                    Tim Bradley's not a brawler. But he takes risks when he needs to. Going against someone like Floyd who won't engage would hopefully prevent Tim from ******* his legs/ankles/calves/whatever, and if Tim stays healthy, I honestly feel his fight style would give Floyd some problems. He's fast and accurate, likely faster than Floyd at this age.

                    That's the fight I would want to see. It won't ever happen. But I'd love to see it.

                      dude Khans a C, D-class fighter. When a fighter faces C, D-class fighters repeatedly, hes a C, D class fighter. The difference is they hype the fk outta Khan. Khans not even in contention anyway, hasnt been in 4 yrs.
