    Put a ✔ for me on the box that say's "Won't fight Martinez".
    (This will not happen for alot of reasons)

    But not sure about Trout or Alvarez, Obviously the rumors of the Sept. fight w/Canelo have been out there for a while now & once Trout/Alvarez dust clears Mayweather will Prob face the winner.

    I think he'll definitely want the Canelo payday and not see the risk as too prohibitive.

    Trout, maybe, if Austin continues to elevate his profile high enough during the course of this Showtime deal before the window closes. (would require basically cleaning house at 154: Bundrage/Smith - whoever holds the IBF, Molina, Rosado, Lara, Andrade, Kirkland and/or Angulo, Martirosyan/Maciel/Baysangurov - whoever holds the WBO ...he'd need to beat at least 4-5 of those names to be up there for consideration)

    Martinez, probably not.

    Canelo is feather-fisted so that's a goer

    Mayweather has always chosen his opponents carefully. He will continue to do so.

    Trout is under Haymon and hasn't really shown any interest in fighting Mayweather either. Watch any of his interviews, he pretty much just scoffs it off. Martinez has no interest in going down to 154, he talks a good game, but he's really not going to and Floyd ain't going up to 160.

    Canelo might not make it past Trout, but if he does, he'll be the biggest payday for Floyd. Floyd will take that fight with a bowl of grits on the side.

    Alvarez, probably. Big payday and it has been penciled in for a while.

    Trout, possibly. Depends how his next few fights go.

    Martinez, v. unlikely (Martinez is pushing 40 too remember and is fighting at 160, Mayweather next fight at 147)

    If Alvarez wins, he will fight him. Martinez and Trout?, no.

    Martinez is the one I don't see happening.. If Trout can get a big enough following Floyd may go to 154 to face him.. Canelo is most likely happening..

    If Trout beats Alvarez surely he will have more serious following. Two big unexpected wins in a row, what more can anyone ask for?
