    Thurman is not proven, 1 or 2 good wins
    Brook is not proven, 1 good win
    Porter is that one good win
    Who the hell is Karim Mayfield

    It's not ideal but Khan is looking like the only interesting big name

    He has some embarrassing losses but also head and shoulders the best resume

    unless tragedy strikes and Cotto agrees to hand Floyd his MW joke belt

      If he was to vacate, surely he should do it soon? He said after the Pacquiao fight that he'd vacate on monday after.

      Just speculating. I don't even know if he's still the WBO champ or not - because according to him he hasn't vacated?
      WBO have allotted Bradley fight to be for interim if Floyd relinquishes the victor Saturday night is champ. The date is something like July 2nd for him to decide. I think they're trying to be respectful and all that, obviously it is lucrative to have Floyd as your champ.

      Let's just hope it's one of Brook, Cotto, Thurman or Bradley. I'd prefer Any really, although neither excites me hopefully Floyd can just get his opponent and be then be gone hopefully then these guys start fighting each other, as with Khan clearly they're avoiding certain guys for the big payday. This Rios Brook fight is hardly inspiring, with Floyd gone maybe we'd see Thurman vs Brook, now that would be something right ?

        not sure tbh

        200k is a lot of money to ask for a bloody belt

        floyd might pay it just to piss arum off, but he has to give up another one of his belts in return

        if he does pay, then he will either unify with brook or he will drop one of his belts, so spence can fight for it on his undercard

          Cotto is in negotiations with Canelo - clearly that fight will happen next. This is a poll for september, and I don't think there's many other likely candidates than the ones I mentioned.

          Floyd certainly isn't fighting GGG so I agree, that's completely ridiculous to even mention.
          You say clearly, yet Canelo vs Cotto was clearly being negotiated and for whatever reason stalled, this of course was around the time before Floyd had to bow from CBS pressure to fight PAC. Now we have a scenario where Cotto and Floyd both don't have an opponent, yet. I wouldn't rule that fight out at this point yet, the only reason I have my doubts is because Cotto looked solid last out after 153 on the scales for a fight above 154. Also taking into account Cotto really can earn more versus Flyd than Canelo.

          Ask yourself this, why is it you believe Cotto vs Canelo never happened when they initailly began to negotiate ? Floyd loves to be his own man and Khan demanding he faces him just makes me think it is all the more likely he won't, not only does he piss Khan off if he faces Cotto next, he puts one over his old best enemy.... Oscar.

          Don't rule it out.

            That's true but it's the fight both want and probably the fight that makes most sense for Cotto and Canelo. They will most likely earn more money fighting each other and won't have to deal with the bs again. I think Cotto would earn way more vs Canelo.

            It didn't happen because Cotto is a diva and most likely wanted to make some easy money or sort out his promtional issues or whatever. That fight will happen next.

            That being said, I'd be down for Mayweather vs Cotto II for the middleweight title. Two welterweights fighting at middleweight.

              A few weeks ago I would have said Khan just to see him get KO'd but I find him so over the top annoying recently that I hope he didn't get the fight. I actually think Mayweather retiring without knocking out Khan would devastate him even more. Might even make him retire as well.

                Mayweather is already promoting the Brook fight. He's already wearing the hat or he's just a fan maybe.

                      Floyd doesn't give a fcuk about what the fans want. Forgot about the Maidana-Khan poll on Floyd's website? Khan won 65-35 after receiving 100' of thousands of votes & Floyd said fcuk the poll Imma fight Maidana ...Khan was freaking out after getting trolled like that.
