    Name the ideal 5 opponents that you want to see Mayweather face to see out his showtime contract.

    My list goes, in no particular order:

    Alvarez
    Winner of the 140lbs tournament (Garcia, Peterson, Matthysse, Khan)
    Bradley
    Pacquiao
    Trout.

    Ideal:

    Alvarez
    Martinez
    Pacquaio
    Bradley
    Broner

    I'd don't think more than 2, tops 3 of those fights could be made mind

    In no particular order...

    Canelo
    Whoever comes out on top at 140.
    Pacquiao
    Martinez@154
    Bradley.

    In an ideal world those would be his last 5 fights

    Well without putting much thought into it would probably be something like this:

    Alvarez
    Lara or Trout
    Winner of the 140 tourney
    Thurman
    Broner

    Would replace two of those with Bradley and Pac but we know those wont happen due to the GBP/TR feud thats why i didnt put them in there.

    Most likely scenario:

    Alexander
    Khan
    Berto
    Garcia
    And maybe Canelo in his last fight.

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather has to happen. I wanna see Floyd fight Bradley though. That would be entertaining

    Unfortunately I don't see any of these being made apart from Bradley. :-(

    Plenty of good fights out there for him no doubt.

    It's hard to say because we don't know how other fights are gonna go in the mean time. If Bradley beats Marquez clearly he would be an option if not, then **** em. I know I'd stay 147 other than for Martinez who's prime to be taken.

    Canelo now before it's too late.

    I'd go Pac after that because of the huge money.

    Then Bradley if he beats Marquez. If not the winner of the 140 mini tourney involving Garcia- Khan- Peterson and Lucas

    Maybe Thurman if he beats a top contender.

    Martinez is ready to lose as I said (at 154)

    Best fighting Alvarez this year, he's getting too big for a fight to be made after that.

    Not sure if he's ever gonna fight Broner he'd wait that long. He'd probably feels he's best of fighting him while still green and Mayweather still at the top. Althought I still reckon he will beat Broner for the next 3 years. at least.

    I think the realistic options are:

    Bradley
    Trout
    Garcia
    Kahn
    Alexander
    Thurman
    Brook (could earn a payday in a year or two?)
    Alvarez (less realistic but still not out of the question)
    Matthysse or Peterson (only if they win the toutrnament)
