    One would think they've all 4 got to come from this list:
    Khan
    Alexander
    Garcia
    Thurman
    Maidana
    Broner
    Ortreez II
    Alvarez II
    Cotto II
    Lara
    Angulo

    While being somewhat realistic, as long as they accumulate big wins in the time before, I'd like to see: Garcia, most impressive of Khan/Alexander/Maidana, Lara, Alvarez II

    Bradley is the fight that would hold a lot of meaning (depending how the JMM fight goes down, and beyond), but his ties with Top Rank seem to make this not possible for the time being.

    Given that Floyd talked quite a bit about Miguel Cotto's performance and ability against him and how "Canelo" lacked Cotto's experience/ability I'll lean and say if Miguel has a great showing (KO win against Rod?) + beat Martinez or Canelo in a rematch...it will be a great probality that we may see Cotto vs FMJr. II in Sep 2014.........:good

    khan-alexander winner
    garcia
    I would say bradley but isn't he with top rank?
    could kell brook get a shot?

    the pickings are slim.

    Broner has already stated that he won't fight Floyd. He calls him his "big bro". Martinez is not coming down to 154. He has enough problems at his weight class. Bradley and Garcia maybe, but I don't think Bradley or Garcia is a good syles matchup with Floyd. If Pac vs Mayweather happened, I would pay to see it, even if Pac is faded. We'll have to see what Pac still has in his fight with Rios.

    As far as Cotto II, unless Cotto is reborn boxing wise I doubt it will ever happen. Alexander vs Floyd is a bad stylistic matchup and would be boring.

    The best fights out there are Khan at 147, Canelo at 154, or possibly Ortiz II, if Ortiz chin fully heals and shows that he's back. There's no excuse not to have a Canelo rematch at 154 and for him not to fight Khan at 147. Even Maywather senior hinted as Khan being a possible opponent.

    3 of those fights are almost guranteed not going to happen.
    PAC & Brad are w/TR & Khan is getting his **** pushed in by Devon.

    guys, If Bradley beats Marquez ( and thats a big IF) i believe somehow that fight with floyd will get done sooner or later.

    About Broner, no matter how friends you are, If Broner gets 2 high profile wins and looks good, to much money in that fight, perfect story line. I bet they already talk about, even if it is a glorified sparring session. Broner looks like the kind of person who would sacrifice his 0 if floyds lets him look competitive in a "pass of the torch" kind of fight

    I will say final four will be:

    Khan
    Alexander
    Garcia
    Cotto II

    I left out Bradley and Pac on purpose as both are with Top Rank and until Top Rank and Golden Boy can place nice together, cross promotion fights between those two companies will not happen. Period.
