    Of the fighters on the list, who would you like to see Floyd fight next?

    If this poll had been made before the Pacquiao-Marquez III fight, mostly everybody would say Pacquiao.

    But now that matchup has lost some of it's appeal.

    Berto, Margarito (147) or Alvarez.

    Not a LWW fighter bulked up.

    I agree, he should fight a welterweight or a super-welterweight, not someone who has to move up.

    Sergio Martinez at 154 would be perfect.

    As much as everyone wants to see it, I doubt it will be Pacquiao. Arum knows better. It is Cinco de Mayo after all. It's a Mexican holiday.

    I'm going out on the limb and say Alvarez. He's a bigger draw than Guerrero. It's a win-win for Alvarez if he fights Mayweather. If he loses the fight, he still wins for facing Mayweather at such a young age. It's enticing to Mayweather because it will be more $$$. Moreover, Mayweather will be seen as fighting a young upcoming lion. Pac will be fighting a 39 year old Marquez.

    Mayweather is about to be 35 and I doubt he will be fighting long enough until he shws signs of hi declining. If Floyd notice any signs of hi slowing down he won't fight because he want's to fight when he is at his best. After 3-4 for fights i guess in the span of 2 years i see him reitiring maybe 3 years.. idk

    Pac
    Cotto
    Khan
    Bradley
    Martinez

    any of these would be good with me.

    Actually, apart from morales, i don't think any of these fights are real bad. Alexander and Guerrero aren't my favorites by far, but it ain't really bad opponents.

    True. Bob Arum will not let the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight ever happen because he doesn't want to share the revenue. He'll have Manny fight another Top Rank promoted boxer for his next fight, possibly Timothy Bradley.

    I think Pacquiao vs Marquez IV needs to happen, so in the mean-time the only fight I'd be remotely interested in seeing for Floyd would be Sergio Martinez. At a 154lbs limit, I think Floyd would box the chops off him.

    makes no sense-not talkin $hit either man-

    If Pac fights JMM and its another close fight OR JMM WINS THIS TIME, the FLOYD FIGHT WILL NOT BE NEARLY AS BIG.

    If PAC FIGHTS FLOYD FIRST, THEN JMM NEXT-THE FLOYD FIGHT WILL BE BIGGER THAN JMM-PAC 4 AND PAC-JMM 4 CAN STILL HAPPEN PLUS BE JUST AS BIG AS IT WAS GONNA BE....MAYBE BIGGER SHOULD PAC BEAT FLOYD:deal

    MAKES 0 SENSE, FINANCIALLY AND CAREER STATUS, TO FIGHT JMM BEFORE FIGHTING MAYWEATHER

    Plus the numbers in comparison are alarming for PAC TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER AND NOBODY ELSE.

    Martinez really because I don't want to hear the claims of Floyd waiting for Pac to get old. But if Floyd kills pac, I won't have to hear those claims because those posters will disappear :p
