    1. Andre Ward

    The biggest fight and the one i would be most interested in, is the most difficult to make. Fighting Andre Ward at the 160 limit. Mayweather probably comes in at 154 but this fight is unrealistic. In all reality there is not a fighter between 160 and 135 that can beat him. So the question is witch fight would be the most credible. Talk of Khan is a Joke. Unless he fights in the Uk it makes no sense.

    2. The winner of Manny and Rios.

    Even though the mustard is a little off of a Floyd Manny fight, its still probably the fight most people want to see. The fact you have so manny people who think Floyd has ducked Manny ( which I find laughable ). Floyd is going to have to fight him at some point just to shut these people up. Even though the same people who would pick Manny to beat Floyd, after Floyd puts on a clinic like every other fight these people will make every excuse to to downplay his win. Still, it would be his biggest money fight for him. Provided Manny not only beats Rios but looks good doing it. Ultimately the winner of this fight will get a shot at Floyd.

    3. Sergio Martinez

    I think the most credible fight would be Sergio Martinez at 154. Thats a fight i'd like to see. Sergio is the Middleweight champ at 160 and is a top 10 pound for pound guy. What would really be a bold move for Floyd is if he fought Sergio at 160. Now Floyd would not come in at 160, but he can come in at 154 and still be able to manage the fight. Sergio would most certainly have to come down. But this is a fight that can be made.

    4. Juan Marquez

    There is not a lot of talk about this one. But if Timothy Bradley were to beat Marquez he would definitely be in the discussion as potential opponent
    for Floyd. So why not Marquez if he beats Bradley? He's a top 3 pound for pound guy right now. Even though Floyd killed him in there first fight, I'd be curious to see how Marquez would fight Floyd in a rematch. Only because he put Manny to sleep. I'd much rather see this fight than a Khan fight.

    5. Danny Garcia

    Only because hes the best fighter at 140. I think Danny should fight Adrian Broner. If he beats him it would give Danny and a fight with Floyd some real cred. Knowing Broner tries to fight a style similar to Floyd's, the element of a blueprint on how you beat Floyd comes into play a little bit.

    only other name possibilities

    Gennady Golovkin, Kell Brooks, Tim Bradley, Devon Alexander.

    floyd wont fight at 160, he cant even make 154 so being realistic his options are 147-154 fighters who arent with Top rank

    and there aient anyone there that can pose a challange to him

    Golovkin said he would fight Void at 154, but Void will not go anywhere near Golovkin. Golovkin by knockout!!!

    Void is extremely afraid of Pac, so that will never happen.

    Sergio Martinez once said he would fight Void at 154 and even 150, but Void ran away rather quickly.

    I agree there's no way Floyd will make 160. But Sergio coming down to 154 to fight Floyd for his biggest paycheck is real. Floyd will come in at 152, 151 and Sergio would be at 160 anyway come fight time.

    I bet you said the same thing about Canelo right. Floyd was afraid of him to right. You where probably convinced Canelo would knock him out to huh. lol

    it would be a good fight for floyd to take but look at martinez's last fight ... he looked REALLY OVER THE HILL against a good opponent sure he was not supposed to be on martinez's level...

    then youd have all the haters bringing that up + "hurr weight drained!".

    maybe bob can put his hate for floyd aside and make all 3 of them a **** ton of cash before they retire

    I said I expected Void to win a UD against Alvarez. Castillo beat Void and so did Oscar. However, Golovkin Vs. Void would be good fight and fans have been wanted Void to fight Martinez for a long time now. If Void is the best fighter in the world, and can beat anyone, why doesn't he just go up and fight Vitali or Vladimir Klitschko?

    Because, unlike Bradley, Marquez will likely finish his career with Top Rank.

    ward is too dangerous.

    pac ain't going to sign with tmt.

    i don't think sergio can make 152 or even 154 anymore...but yeah, sergio is another ripe cherry for floyd.

    his options are the winner of jmm-bradley or garcia or khan if he beats alexander or jsk since he beat berto.

    Well it dosent matter who Floyd fights when he beats them they will allways find an excuse. Even if he fought Andre ward at 168 they would say that Andre is not that good of a fighter or sum excuse. lol All im saying is id much rather see that fight than a Khan, Devon, Bradley, or Garcia fight. Floyd has to fight the heavier guys because there is nobody south of 147 that has even a remote chance.

    Sergio can make 154 and come fight time weight 160 to 163ish. everybody south of 147 has not even a remote chance at beating him and everybody knows it. he has to fight the heavier guys to make it interesting in my opinion.

    Ward is a Super Middleweight.

    Pacquiao is with Top Rank.

    He already beat JMM by 13 points in a 12 round fight.

    Sergio hasn't weighed 154 in 5 years.

    Garcia is the only realistic fight you propose.

    Glovkin has to at least show he can beat Sergio.

    Mayweather isn't moving to Middleweight or Super middleweight and doesn't need to either.
