    Here is how I would like to see it

    Danny Garcia
    Adrien Broner
    Tim Bradley/Devon Alexander
    Manny Pac

    Garcia and Broner to attract the younger fans and ruin some undefeated records so they have no chance of breaking his record. End his 4th fight deal with Manny PAC. But we all know he is coming back for a 50th final fight just to rob the bank one last time.

    But! Floyd fights the best fighters with the biggest fan bases

    So it will probably be

    Khan .. (Because he can draw a UK crowd but he has already sparred Floyd and lost to Danny Garcia to ME he isn't even worth considering)

    Minda if he beats Broner

    Garcia after a few 147 wins

    Manny Pac

    Everyone needs to take Khan and Alexander off of their lists. Khan ain't gonna get by Alexander and Mayweather ain't gonna fight Alexander...

    I agree that Khan will lose but not sure why you say he won't fight Alexander?
    Alexander gave up against Bradley and Barely beat Matthysse, if at all.
    Garcia is better than both for sure. If Khan rematched Danny he would leave on a stretcher and Alexander would quit on his stool after 3 rounds.

    The only way floyd fights Pac is if Pac looks spent against Rios.
    -winner Khan-Alexander
    -winner Alvarado-Provo (if they keep winning)
    -Cotto II
    - Canelo II

    My list would be
    Garcia May 14 lineal JWW Champ(take the 0 of another undefeated undisputed champ)
    Alexander/Broner/Bradley/Marquez II Sept 14 WW unification(winner of DA-AB/TB-JMM)
    Alvarez II/Cotto II May 15 JMW defense (winner of this eventual fight will be looked at as #2 JMW)

    The last one is tricky personally I want him to say **** it and challenge for a MW title if that's the case
    Martinez/GGG/Chavez Jr Sept 15 MW Title shot (Martinez if he is still on top will probably be the easiest, GGG the toughest, If Chavez Jr is the #1 MW this could break any record set vs Hoya/Alvarez? To many story lines to count).If not maybe a Pacquio fight at that point its not a legacy fight just a grudge match to settle things.

    If he goes for 50-0 same list
    1.Garcia (undisputed 140 champ)
    2.DA vs AB/TB vs JMM winner (147 unification)
    3.Pacquiao (147 title defense)
    4.Canelo-Cotto winner (154 title defense)
    5.Martinez/GGG/Chavez Jr (160 title shot probably at 157)
    Do that and for me thats top 10 ATG material.

    Those guys main specialty is boxing you can't beat Floyd boxing unless your a better boxer going in and none of them are Matthysse and PACman (Boxer/punchers) have the best chance IMO

    All of you can Take Alvarez off any list of future fighters.
    No because he lost to Floyd but because he will keep losing.
    Lara,Cotto,maybe even Molina would beat him.
    And I do not get why so many people keep throwing out Top rank/hbo fighters know that is not going to happen. JMM,Bradley,Pac,Provodnikov,Alvarado,Rios,Ward,GGG.
    All are complete fantasy fights with ZERO chance of getting made.

    I can't agree with all of this first off the Alvarez from saturday beat Lara,Molina, Cotto I would give a better chance due to experience/level of comp.

    On to your second point I agree most of thoses fights won't happen for varies reason I.e. promoter weight ect...but out of them all I wouldn't count out Bradley forcing a Mayweather fight if he beats Maquez. He doesn't fit the puppet mode like Pac (no disrespect intended)

    If Khan beats Alexander and its a BIG IF I think Mayweather will fight him just because it will sell !

    I think there will be a Cotto rematch if Cotto beats Rodriguez ! Kept mentioning that Cotto give him his toughest fight in the All Access !

    If Pacquiao beats Rios in devastating fashion I think public interest would be up again BUT I can't see it happening cause Floyd holds all the cards now due to Pacs recent losses !

    I'm a little uninterested TBH cause I genuinely can't see anyone posing a threat ? Although Cotto is one of my favourite fighters

    Why won't Mayweather fight Alexander? Because outside of the hardcore boxing audience, nobody knows or cares who Alexander is. How in the hell do you sell a Mayweather Alexander PPV? It would tank worse than Mayweather Guerrero.

    I think Floyd's next four fights are as follows in no particular order;

    Garcia
    Pacquiao
    Cotto
    Broner [their love affair can only last so long given the size of the egos involved]
