Who do we want now ?

1. Pacquiao
2. Canelo
3. Bradley
4. Khan

Nothing changed for me, as I thought Pacquiao clearly defeated a very good fighter in Bradley. I'd confidently back Floyd against each of the above.

What this illustrates, sadly, is that there is no credible challenger for Floyd at this point in time. Sorry, should add that by credible I mean someone who you can make a case for actually having a chance to win. I used to think Pac could give him trouble, but find it increasingly hard to envisage that scenario.
Martinez at Middle is the best I can nominate but that's being a tad unfair on floyd in terms of expecting him to go up so much in weight just to face a challenge.

I voted for Pacman but I wouldn't mind seeing him up against Alvarez.

Pac's got no chance. His physique has looked smooth and he's not packing any sort of firepower lately to trouble Floyd.

He was 50/50 at the bookies 2.5 years ago, now he's got zero chance.

No Floyd fight I want to see now, he will probably fight Alvarez which is an easy fight for him

Bradley didn't beat him though, even Mayweather Sr has said that

I just think Pac could make 140 without doing his nuts in and could possibly still make 135, despite anything he says. His physique didn't look ripped and dried out like his Super-featherweight days. I'm still suprised his fight with Bradley wasn't done at 140.

I'm surprised that 'Mr Big from the showers' isn't an option...unless they've already tangled? DD

For me

1: Pacman: Just make the damn fight we are board of the is it or is not.
2: Bradley: Unification match. WBC/WBO. Very nice
3: Canelo: Pop up to Light-Middle to fight a natural Light-Middle that is young and very heavy handed. Ballsy but I doubt it.
4: Khan. Beat Garcia and then Floyd might consider.

The only reason my vote goes to Khan is because if it was at Wembley or anywhre else in the UK I could go and watch the greatest boxer of my generation.

X2

Khan wouldn't possibly be until next summer as a definite outside fight in Britain

Do we think that Wembley Stadium would ever be an option for a big fight again?
Mayweather v Khan would be big but would it be big enough for Wembley?

Canelo would beat him.

There's more chance of going to dinner with Elvis than seeing Mayweather fight outside of the USA. I don't care if there was a gurantee of 100,000 people turning up at Wembley, he wouldn't have it.

I don't think Pacman has much chance, there just doesn't seem to be the spite behind the punches there used to be. He hasn't seemed to have much spite since the first fight with Cotto - and I just wonder if he's that hungry any more with all his outside interests.

Mayweather seems to still have some spite left in him, judging by his last few performances, and I think he is just too good right now.

Don't know. How about sticking at the Reebok in Bolton. Khan is a huge Wanderers fan and he has stated he would love to fight there if the opportunity arose. Could easily get 30,000+ plus.

No he wouldn't
