    May wants the most money possible, which is Pac. If for whatever reason they cant agree, who will he fight next?

    Cotto - I believe brings the most money besides Pac. Good fight.

    Foreman - If he beats Cotto, I believe he'll gain a few fans. Maybe a bit boring.

    Berto - Put out Urango, still undefeated. Good fight.

    Bradley/Alexander - Bradley was supposed to fight Maidana, hopefully will be fighting Alexander soon. Floyd may wait for the winner of that fight. Either one would be a good fight for Floyd.

    Khan - If he beats Malignaggi he could get a fast track jump to fighting Mayweather. He brings a good fan base.

    Williams - High risk, low reward. Id be amazed if he took this fight.

    Martinez - Not sure what would be a tougher fight for Floyd him or Williams.

    Opinions?:bbb

    I wouldn't like to see it at 160, Floyd would be giving too much away. A 154 is a much more fair fight, with Mayweather taking a UD

    If Cotto wins, it will be him, he is a big draw and Mayweather knows he can beat him.

    Martinez at 154 would be a great fight. This guy is quick, in and out, and throws good combinations. I think it would be a tuff fight for Mayweather.

    all I know is khan/maywether wouldn't be worth watching unless you love seeing people get brutalized.

    I think we can expect Floyd to do the same thing he did last time things got hot around his weight. He'll "retire."

    If Khan demolishes Malignaggi, I think Floyd vs Khan would be interesting.

    i doubt he fights cotto. Pac destroyed him and if you cant top that then why get his left overs? Cotto would bring some fan$ and if he beats foreman he brings a new title but i still dont think it will happen. My vote.... he retires.

    Why do so many think he will fight Martinez, a tough fight against a bigger opponent who isn't a big draw. Cotto is a big draw and probably an easier fight who would fight Mayweather at his optimal weight. Martinez makes very little sense regarding risk/reward.

    Think people are voting with the hearts rather than their heads, voting what they would like to see.

    None of them are really a cash draw for Mayweather. He will only settle on a high grossing PPV fight which is only really plausable with Cotto.
    If Khan destroys Paulie,... thats a big if, then they could maybe drum up some hype for that and the UK would definitely buy it.
    He wont fight Williams, hes too awkward.
    And Martinez is too dangerous right now at 160.
