    1. Khans out of the play due to religious reasons.

    2. Thurman is not a big name or a draw at all, that might not even crack 500k imo.

    3. Danny Garcia - strong possibility, got a decent puerto rican following, undefeated, rated in the top10 p4p, free schedule at the moment, big chance here. Can market him as having beaten and cleaned out 140lb and now moving up(incl defeating mathyese and khan)

    4. Miguel Cotto - strongest possibility, ticks all the boxes(fame, legacy, money, time-frame)

    5. Manny rematch - medium possibility, fight was not close and would receive tons of criticism/negative response

    6. Gennady Golovkin - very unlikely, Floyd wouldnt risk his 0 against a guy naturally that much bigger and stronger than him at this stage

    7. Erislandy Lara - Very unlikely, not a big draw, very dangerous, former victim(canelo) beat him recently too

    8. Kell Brook - Unlikely, not a big enough name to warrant a big enough paycheck to get the money man interested

    9. Adrian Broner - even though they are friends and Broner idolises him, Broners a big draw in the sport and the fight would be big if they fought, very unlikely but the option would be there if Floyd was desparate for a name in september

    10. Canelo Kirkland winner - If Kirkland wins more likely, but even a Canelo rematch would make some $$ even though it is unlikely because the first fight was not very close at all

    hey if kirkland beats canelo why not!!!

    but i think thurman should and will get it honestly

    i would say danny but after the herrera figh and fighting an under qualified opponent in salka... then not winning in stunning fashion over peterson that isnt the recipe to gettin a mayweather fight. how ever knockin out khan and beatin lucas might be but fans already forgot bout that.

    Dont want to see cotto lose again

    i actually saw floyd being countered alot by manny

    a rematch wouldnt be so bad if they price it much better

    especially if the injury was real

    Does anybody seriously think Thurman would win even one round against Floyd?

    I'd like to see a Khan fight, other than that there isn't anybody I care about at 147, 154. If he moves up and fights GGG I'll watch, but that ain't happening

    Not at all. Angles and counter punching makes him gun-shy - reference the fight against that italian pastry.


    Floyd has gotta fight Khan..thats all thats really interesting.

    Khan MIGHT be an interesting s**** but I bet Floyd adjusts and turns it into a snoozer. Plus Khan doesn't deserve it, he hasn't beat a single B+/A level fighter and therefore doesn't deserve the payday. Hoping for Cotto or Manny rematch (assuming real injury last night)

    Khan is saying that Mayweather and Pacquiao have both reached out to his people about making a fight.

    Cotto is most likely. Giving up his titles tells me he's going to middleweight because he's the chapion of 147 and 154 already.
