    Please, no Cotto. He gets slaughtered again by Pac, and Floyd would school him painfully.
    Floyd: fight Sergio or Canelo at 154. Sergio's style is unorthodox enough to cause Floyd problems, though Floyd would still win convincingly. Floyd v Canelo would be a Las Vegas event, and Canelo gets taken to school.
    Pac: just fight someone in an actual weight class for once. No more cheesy catchweights.

    And Brook has beaten whom exactly?

    Does he really deserve a mega payday just cuz he's a good talker?

    Don't be so quick to send the lamb into the ring with the lions......give the kid a chance to step up first.


    As for Pac.......I think Khan is the best fight for him, although I'd really like to see Khan/Brook TBH. A nice domestic fight that would prove whose tops in UK tween the 140-154 guys.

    May......he needs to fight Cotto. It's the one fight that separates him from Pacqiouas greatness IMO, and a win over Cotto brings May back to level with Pac.

    I think Pac should stay at 140 and fight Bradly, Khan, Madina, or Peterson. I think Mayweather should stay at 147 and fight Berto, Mike Jones or Kell Brooks.

    Sergio is the best challenge out there for Floyd right now outside of Pacman... at 154 or 160, it would be great

    For Pac, Bradley for sure, if not Berto/ Ortiz winner

    Your initial question was one opponent you would expect to fight Floyd and Pac.

    So going by that I would say Pac fights Cotto. More logical for Top Rank and a huge money maker for them too.

    For Floyd, once he is out, I expect the winner of Berto/Ortiz or Canelo.

    Now my question. Do I really want to see those fights? Hell no! I want Floyd/Pac! But as you stated on your questions, we should expect that because that is what they are going to give us wether we like it or not.

    SMM had a game plan going into the fight (that was effective) but was to old to pull the trigger. JMM is a bad match-up . . . that does not make Pac past it.

    SSM in his Prime was a great fighter . . . and JMM is no slouch. I personally consider them two of the best fighters he has ever faced (along with EM and MAB). He still beats Cotto and plasterless plastermaster quite easily. He would have target practice on Clottey again and Oscar . . . well Oscar was done before he got into the ring.

    I dont think Pac slipped as much as his team has not done as good a job in choosing the right opponents the last couple of fights.
