    Sadly only 1 out of 5 fights might be acceptable. Look at who you guys are naming...
    Khan (lost to Peterson, and might again)... this fight is REDICULOUS!
    Peterson (if he beats Khan again could be a possibily)... Floyd picking on a smaller man with limited skills.
    Saul... Most definitely green and unestablished, I think he will be something awesome in the future though.
    Berto... Another guy with limited skills, and has struggled with fighters with even less skills than he has.

    Then you got the guys whom right now people would give him credit for such as Pac, Sergio, and I'd give him props for beating Lara at this point.
    Sad thing is, the guys from the list will come off a nice win, Mayweather will fight them, and his fans will say *Well the guy is coming off a win... Unlike most of Pac's opponents* It's rediculous. Nevermind the fact they may have lost 2 out of 3 fights prior to that, or a couple in a row. Floyd fights them and there suddenly at there best weight, prime of their life, etc no matter how they were dominated. Pac fights them and there washed up, easy pickins, etc.

    You would not watch an undefeated Floyd Mayweather fight an undefeated JCC Jr at 160 in a 1-1 1/2 years?

    At 160??

    Note-If he beat Sergio (which I doubt he will)...

    1)If I was his Manager I'd pursue the fight with Manny next...there no where to go big money for him or Manny at 147

    2) Face the winner of Berto/Ortiz unifying belts

    3)Shut Khan up and give him the spanking he deserves

    4) move back up at 154 and fight Canelo to be the lineal champion at 154 another otch under the belt

    5)Finish off with Martinez

    If he could do this and succeed he'd be 48-0 a 6 weight champion and possibly lineal at 5 weights...would hard to argue dude isnt a top 10 p4p all-time great and would have a case for being the GOAT, at least be considered on par with Armstrong, Pep, and Robinson

    I would like to see him fight the winner of Berto vs Ortiz if he moves up. That would be a great fight and will give him a lot of attention if he wins.

    there really isnt much left for him between 147-154 those guys are the best available...fighting Martinez at 160 or a catchweight would be a tall order, thats asking alot of a guy to move up 30 pounds over his best weight and fighting a top 5 p4p guy in his only middleweight fight....when Armstrong fought Garcia, Garcia was never considered on of the best fighters of that era, just a belt holder

    Khan may be a ridiculous fight but he has been barking about wanting this fight for a while, so it might as well happen. If you look closer into possible opponents almost all except for 2(Pacquiao and Martinez) don't seem ridiculous. So there aren't really enough names out there. I would like to see the Khan fight despite it being ridiculous. Would be entertaining to see how Khan reacts to Mayweather in the ring, not out of it(twitter) for a change.

    Peterson is not an option and will never be.

    Alvarez is obviously an option. I personally DON'T want this fight. It would be Baldomir/Mayweather 2. Alvarez will get overwhelmed and schooled to a UD.

    Berto is another fight I don't want to see and doubt it will happen.

    The possible options are Alvarez, Khan, Martinez and Kirkland.
