    As much as I hate that braggadocious mug I must respect the fact that hes levels above anyone else. Danny Garcia wouldnt really sell well tbh and wouldnt stand a chance. Who do yall think is best?

    As someone who lives in the UK, I hope he fights Amir Khan over here. Then that way I can finally go and see a live Mayweather fight.

    Khan is probably the best option. Easy $$$ and a large gate.

    The thing is, Garcia deserves the fight far more than Khan yet Danny - Floyd would be blehh. Khan will get destroyed by KO and thats probably the only excitement we'd get. I think all the pacquaio fight is still viable

    Garcia would give Floyd a good fight.
    Mattysse hits harder than Floyd for sure.
    Garcia hits harder than Floyd for sure.
    Garcia did show some good skill,and he would not have to hold near as much against Floyd,I am sure if he can take a punch from Lucas< Floyd won't hurt him too bad.
    Garcia would be able to let his hands go without much fear of a ko.
    Floyd will surely outbox him but Danny can hit and the possibility of Floyd getting hurt is real.

    This.

    Next for Floyd - Sergio Martinez at 160. There is really no other option. Garcia fight would be good.

    The two guys who present the best realistic challenge are Broner and Devon Alexander.

    Both young, fast, with solid defense.

    He won't go up to 160.

    Mayweather said himself, he woke up on the morning of the Canelo fight weighing 146.

    Nobody really stands a chance, but Garcia has earned it and with his loudmouth dad, showtime fans being more familiar with him now, and the fact that he's been the underdog a few times and looks more impressive each time, I guess they could sell it that way

    Mayweather can't fight anywhere other than the MGM at the moment. I hear he's tied into a deal where he gotta fight at the MGM.
