    Floyd should fight the Mosley/Berto Winner or Paul Williams. If not them, then ****in retire... but we know he's going to fight another JrWw anyway....

    If mosley is asked to fight Floyd on 13th March he will. Providing he isn't too damaged.

    In an ideal world (leaving out Pac) Williams vs Martinez 2 would happen as soon as possible at 154, and Floyd would fight the winner.

    I think this is the best move legacy-wise.

    If he really wants to build on his legacy though he could fight Pavlik

    Realistically, I see him fighting Berto if he beats Mosley, but if he doesnt win I expect Mayweather to fight Bradley

    Winner of Mosley-Berto. Or of course Paul Williams, only don't hold your breath on that every happening.

    Again

    It is a known fact that GBP has a date for a fight AT MARCH 13 at MGM GRAND for floyd against someone.

    Who that someone is still unknown ( lots of reports that it'll be hatton/malignaggi)

    Williams/martinez NOT GONNA HAPPEN IN MARCH...THEY JUST FOUGHT LAST DEC.... So how can floyd fight the winner of that rematch (if it ever happen)???

    Berto-mosley winner...NOT...their fight is jan 30, floyd is fighting march 13th, too soon.

    I dont see floyd moving up to MW soon so he ain't fighting pavlik. Plus pavlik is a top rank fighter anyway....hard fight to make

    "legacy dont pay the bills'' - qoute from floyd himself

    "If it makes money, it makes sense" - another famous punchline of floyd jr.

    Right now "magic" matthew hatton makes sense ( and money). Floyd would love to prey on those gullible british boxing fans. They'll pay ot see magic matthew get humiliated to and easy UD win for floyd :rofl

    147 you have Cotto (lost 2 bad TKO's) Margo (not really relevent anymore) Malinagi (moves up) Bradley (moves up) Khan (moves up) Hatton II

    154 Spinks a great boxing matchup slick counter punchers Williams volume puncher exciting very popular fighting him would get Floyd respect. Martinez though he lost still a good fighter lotta skill. Dzinzirik longest reigning guy there several good wins very good fighter just no interest in US Maywether would not garner too much respect in america but it would be his first Europe fight I can think of. Cintron beat Angulo tall good reach big punch you never know

    Those i think are the option that Floyd is looking to fight all at 147 lbs.

    Collazo is worthy so is bradley but I think Collazo would be a good messuring stick at this point for Floyd, I would like to see Floyd fight margarito since Tony will be available and since its such an easy fight for Floyd why not.

    Paul Williams would be good for some sort of title (at welterweight), but if he wants to shine and have a nice PPV seller he should fight the winner of Mosley/Berto ... anyone else wouldn't produce the hype that Pacquiao/Berto/Mosley would ... Hatton would probably sell in the UK but it wouldn't sell in the US.

    Malignaggi, Hatton, Bradley, Collazo wouldn't do much for him in any aspect of the game.

    People will never think that those guys can pose a serious threat to Mayweather and many wouldn't tune in ... his fans, hardcore "boxing" fans, and the few fans of the potential opponents would tune in.

    Margarito !! (TopRank wouldn't approve it)

    or

    Cotto !! (would sell, but i'm not sure TopRank would approve it)

    or

    Saul Alvarez !! (would sell in Mexico and the west coast)

    or

    Sergio Martinez !! (WBC light middleweight title)

    ... Pacquiao (for the record) is ducking !!

    Collazo? Floyd had his tune up.
    Bradley/Paulie? Floyd's a WW and should fight one.

    Floyd needs to man up and fight either Shane/Berto winner or Paul Williams. No one else.
