    Barring a loss to Peterson, it's obviously Khan.

    Martinez would be a true test. Kahn would be a legit opponent but as far as I'm concerened it better be Pac.

    Don't know if I'd buy the Kahn fight but I would buy Martinez

    :lol::lol:

    Please!

    Floyd has more chance of fighting Matthew Hatton than he does Martinez.

    Pac will probably face Martinez before Floyd does.

    I truly believe Floyd doesn't care but if it'a Khan & Pac you"ll see him fighting every 6 months due to lack of competition. JLC and Corrales are much tougher fights than Manny & Amir.

    Sergio, if he can't get a Pac fight signed, and if Sergio and Pac don't make a fight.

    Possibly another tune up first, but don't know who it could be. Canelo, maybe? not that I am really calling Canelo a tune up, but I think Floyd is probably too quick for him.

    to Peterson I believe in December

    No, it's not in Pac's blood to fight a prime fighter coming off a good win

    Martinez is next...I told everyone about this along time ago...Martinez adviser said along time ago that Floyd would want to prove he's the best, and WHEN it made sense, he would fight sergio....Sergio's people just did an interview saying they were working on the biggest contract they have ever had and they cant speak on it until after the barker fight,, and Mayweather did a recent interview saying he was working on his biggest contract....Watch and see

    Devon Alexander is the #1 contender for the WBC, but it's gotta be Khan.

    I dont know who's next, but I know who should be next? martinez. if they aren't fighting each other than the obvious next step for both pac and may is martinez...but that's only if you dictate the way your career goes in terms of sheer competitiveness and legacy, like most of the all time greats did and have done. khan's honestly a pushover for mayweather. no matter how you slice it, mayweather's a cut above. the only category in which khan comes close is mouth. also, pacquiao and khan fighting isn't even a possibility. berto would be a glorified beatdown in favor of pacquiao or mayweather. the only fighter who poses a legitimate threat to either of them other than each other, is martinez, and that's because of his ring savvy, size and experience. any other fighter is not cutting it, and don't give me any technical boxing spiel (jab this, head movement that) about why martinez isn't a thoroughly legitimate threat and excellent notch in the belt, because you're no manny steward, or freddy roach, or floyd joy mayweather senior, and they all acknowledge martinez as a threat.


    they should both be salivating at the thought if the fight between each other never materializes. MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP?


    LEGACY

    I'm not interested in seeing FMJ fight anybody but Pacquiao, and vice versa...
