    If Bradley's style would be totally ineffective against Floyd imagine what Floyd would do to Pacquiao.

    You sure about that Martinez's team already said that Mayweather would be at 151 or 150 catchweight.

    While I don't think Pacquiao has the skills to compete with Mayweather Khan brings enough skill that it wouldn't be a shutout for PBF I could even see Khan winning a round or tow.

    If he had more buzz.

    Defeat the Ortiz-Berto winner & or Amir Khan and he may be able to get that fight in a yr or 2.

    With Ortiz, Berto, Khan coming up in weight, Mike Jones, Brook, and maybe Bradley WW can possibly continue to go strong.

    Pacquiao is truly done. He's not even a bogeyman anymore. Sad story.

    Arranged by legacy affecting for Mayweather:
    Pacquiao - hey, it's still P4P 1 and 2 squaring off, even if the consensus order has swapped, for legacy there couldn't be much of a BIGGER win
    Martinez @ realistically, 154 - the hardest fight on the list; if it was at straight up middleweight this could be one of the better wins of all time
    Alvarez @ 154 - this would draw insane money and rightfully so; the super young, undefeated, bigger and likely future HOF'er could improve Floyd's resume years down the line
    Cotto @ 154 - viewed as the top guy at the heavier 154, this fight would be years later than craved but still be a highly relevant fight; essentially #1 welter vs. #1 junior middle
    Khan - connect back with the British versus a 25 year old Roach trained guy who is approaching borderline P4P top 10
    Williams @ 147 if he can make it, 154 if not - still a sexy fight; I'd expect some to disagree, but I don't really need to elaborate
    Ortiz II - he did an immediate rematch with Castillo, the only other of his fights to have some controversy when it was over
    Bradley - eh, this gets less and less attractive by the month, still is a top 10 P4P guy at division just south
    Kirkland @ 154 - doubt it would happen and really, doubt anyone on Earth would call it a duck; the reality is that despite the potential fireworks here, Kirkland really doesn't deserve it
    Berto - I guess he's here because he's the next best welter
    Maidana - no fights at the weight would draw mass criticism, but the mass power he carries would equally true
    Senchencko - a Roach trained titlist (who only really claimed it via vacancy due to Mayweather beating then champ Mosley); see above comment for Berto


    Seriously though, there are no other options, that is all. The opponent pretty much must come from that list, and no matter who it would be, that's a damn good fight.

    I'm thinking Ortiz/Berto II winner, Alvarez, or Khan.
