        2)Floyd vs Shane which is two HOF caliber guys
        3)Manny vs Shane which again is two HOF caliber guys
        I get what you mean but this is really up to Floyd, he himself is the one that can make a fight with another AA big. He isn;t a HW but he sells more than any HW has. It just has to be promoted right. Typically one would have to appeal to Donald trump supporters and the other would have to appeal to urban America. Which brings me to the point of Cormier vs Jones, if you notice they got that going on there as well. I know you are a level headed smart poster Panda so no need to say who appeals to who. I do get it doe, MMA is taking a lot of fans but boxing can take it away, one big blow to boxing was losing the AA crowd. Boxing hayday was Hagler vs Hearns, Leonard vs both and throw in a latino like Duran and all was good. Nowadays its seems like the Brits and Mexicans are the only ones fighting each other.

Seems like from what I hear DSG and Canelo (after Khan) are the top choices, even a Pacquiao rematch, mean while Spence, Thurman, and Porter are all equally deserving IMO. Hell I would bet Jessie Vargas has a better chance of securing a Floyd fight. Wouldn't Floyd want to give another brotha a payday and a chance to pass the torch (so to speak)?
                Name an African American 147/154 fighter that currently stands as a draw. Simple as that, tbh.

                Danny Garcia, Manny Pacquiao, Saul Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, and Kell Brook are the folks who, 147/154, bring an audience with them to a Floyd matchup.

                  Money.. It's really that simple.

                  It's either a latino, Khan or Broner and you all laughed at that.

                  Why does skin colour or race matter? Why isn't he insulted for not fighting a mixed race fighter from Britain named Kell Brook? Because it wouldn't suit anyone's agenda?

                      Black fighters got insane advantages in boxing. It's more natural for them. Why should Floyd take bigger risks than neccessary? Andre Berto was an okay choice, he wasn't dangerous at all.
