    Well I don't know who his next fight is buy I know his 3rd fight is a Zab Judah rematch. Don't ask for source.

    hopefully they realise they have to go more marketable to do the ppv numbers they want.

    I think we have Garcia, Khan or Alvarez.

    Don`t you know that Floyd is a cherry picker to fight Canelo ?
    He might choose Garcia for an easy win.

    Devon Alexander
    Amir Khan (unless his chin falls apart in his next fight)

    I hope it isn't Alvarez, but it will be. That fight needs to build for a while. I could see Floyd pulling some **** like Alexander or Alvarado though. But probably not after the Guerrero fight flopped like that. Cotto rematch wouldn't be a surprise either.

    Right now Alvarez is the big money fight, but Cotto or Khan would also sell. Once we have a champ out of Peterson/Garcia/Matthysse, I think we'll see that fight and it will sell well. And I think we'll see the winner of Pac/Rios/Marquez/Bradley get a shot as well, which will sell extremely well (since it will be Pacquiao or Marquez).

    My dream schedule would be:

    September: Thurman or Maidana (Reasonably interesting, sellable fights)
    January: Garcia/Matthysse/Peterson winner (no-brainer, Showtime will be all over this)
    May: Alvarez/Cotto winner (Alvarez will be a huge fight a year from now if he beats Cotto first.)
    September: Pac/Marquez V winner (again, the money is there)
    May: Martinez/Alvarez winner (great fight to retire on)

    What I would really like is a supercard in September with Garcia vs Matthysse/Peterson, Alvarez vs Cotto, and Mayweather vs Thurman/Maidana. What I don't particularly want to see is Mayweather vs. Khan/Ortiz/Alexander/Broner/Bradley.

    If anyone says Canelo they need their head examined, as they are ****ing ******ed. That would be a mega fight and there is no way they would do it that quickly. September is 4 months away.

    I don't think he'll fight in September though, it is 4 months away - the only thing that might make him fight is if his PPV numbers are pretty low so he attempts to hop on the Mexican bandwagon to try and bump them up...

    Otherwise, he'll more likely fight at the end of the year I think

    I think if he wants to fulfill that deal and maximize profits, he will. Also, at his age fighting once a year is ******ed. He should be active.

    Mayweather is fighting in September, Pacquiao is already scheduled to fight in November.
