    So, it looks like there might be May-Pac II negotiations going on. I don't think anyone wants to see that again (especially if Pacquiao is out until 2016). Who should Mayweather fight next?

    I'd like those two as well but it's all about name value and recognition at this stage so it's most likely going to be Khan.

    Khan.

    Its actually a really weird situation. Its his retirement fight and hes just fought and beat his biggest rival.

    Everyone else just seems anti-climactic now.

    Also it would be weird to fight an up and comer like Garcia or Thurman in his last fight. Who does that benefit?

    Odd situation

    Amir Khan is a 10 year pro, with 33 fights who was a 2 time world champion at 140.
    He won his first title 6 years ago.

    He is not an up and comer under any definition.

    Garcia has similiar-ish experience but has never even fought at 147 yet, whereas Khan has beaten 2 former world champs.
