As weird as it sounds, I would really like to see Mayweather fight Lara. Yes, Lara, the guy who probably wouldn't make Mayweather much money and the guy who wouldn't be as huge an achievement to beat as Golovkin.
The reason? Because Lara is such a completely different fighter from anything Mayweather has ever fought. When did Mayweather ever fight a guy with Lara's combination of speed, movement, height and reach? Most of Mayweather's opponents, such as Cotto, Canelo, Guerrero, etc., did not have anything near Lara's skill level, even if they are superior to him in regards to other attributes.
My point is, I would like Mayweather to fight Lara not because of Lara being the best possible opponent, but because of Lara being an opponent who would bring out a much more offensive Floyd, IMO. It would be interesting.
