    After outclassing Guerrero, i think he knows a fight with Devon, Khan or Garcia won't get it done. I don't think any of those fights would sell and he won't get much praise no mayter how he looks

    I think may goes for the harder fight in sept, he should.

    The problem is that floyd doesn't really belong at 154 but he
    has no chalenges at 147

    I expect canelo, sergio, pacquiao or bradley/marquez winner. Anything below that is dissapointing

    Well out of that the only option at 147 would be Pacquiao, being Bradley and Marquez are fighting on the same night (and Marquez has said he has no interest in a Mayweather remtach).

    Martinez is out until 2014 so he's ruled out.

    Canelo will be the most interesting and if Floyd is gonna fight him he should do it now before Canelo gets too big and gets better and Mayweather deteriorates.

    The names mentioned by Golden Boy such as Maidana, Khan, Garcia, Peterson, Berto and Victor Ortiz- nah, I wouldn't be totally against Khan in the UK as it would be a big event, but him along with the rest of these gets schooled.

    Do you prefer Lara over those? I think i do, but what an odd choice it would be

    If he moved to JMW Lara is OK but I think he's become a bit overrated and would have next to no chance. He's a poor man's Mayweather.

    Could you imagine Mayweather performing as averagely as he did against the likes of Carlos Molina and Vanes? In fact someone like Canelo would get no end of stick for that.

    If its at 154, it'll have to be big. Probably Canelo.

    Think about it.

    Molina/Smith are already fighting in July. So they'll hardly be in the running for September

    Lara/Angulo are already fighting in June...even that might be a little close to September,considering the fight will be announced probably before then.

    Baysangurov/Andrade are fighting in July.


    Canelo is pretty much the ONLY top ranked guy at 154 that Floyd can fight!
    Hes already beaten Cotto.

    I highly doubt he fights Trout,coming off a loss,despite how close it was.

    No way is Bundrage is usable in a PPV fight.

    To be honest other than Canelo none of those guys- Molina, Smith, Baysangurov, Andrade or Bundrage are useable in a PPV fight.

    Angulo might be a decent B-Side, and Kirkland too, mainly because of their power would keep it interesting for 12 rounds despite the fact unless they land a bomb flush on Floyd's manidible they would have next to zero chance of winning even one round.
