    A. Danny Garcia

    The other option would be either a Cotto (rematch), Amir Khan (which is rumored to happen) or Devon Alexander fight.

    Pacquiao or Martinez would be great, but politics won't allow those fights to happen. Both are with HBO (Floyd is with Showtime), and Pac is with Top Rank.

    Also, Cotto will most likely be fighting Martinez next, so that kills two options right there. So Garcia or Khan are the two likely options for Mayweather.

    Should is not synonymous to would. Floyd should fight Sergio Martinez or Danny Garcia but I think he would fight any of Amir Khan or Devon Alexander next depending on who wins the scheduled welterweight title match between the two. A fight versus Manny won't happen as long as Manny is with Top Rank who does not want to have anything to do with Floyd and Golden Boy.

    He should stop his disagreements with top rank and make a fight with 1 of their top fighters. HBO & Showtime have made mutual fights happen if they're big enough and in this case it would be.

    After doing that he should fight Timothy Bradley [if all goes well Saturday] or Pacman [if all goes well with Rios].

    If that doesn't work he should fight Miguel Cotto again or fight Martinez in a catchweight.

    Danny Garcia has never fought at 147lbs, Amir Khan has been exposed, but i wouldn't be surprised if those fights happened.

    I dont know but I've heard khan would be he's opponent and thats probably who's gonna be available cuz cotto and martinez are gonna fight.. Danny Garcia probably is gonna face someone else cuz that would be the right thing to do for hem and well mayweather doesn't want to fight pacquiao if pac doesn't join TMT promotion witch is crazy lol

    Number one if it ain't about the money and about his legacy either Keith Thurman or James Kirkland because we don't already know the results of these fights but if it is about the money Danny Garcia because the amount of revenue it would generate but we know the results of that fight another win for Floyd

    I think Danny Garcia should be if he steps up to 147. If not, Sergio Martinez should be his opponent for the Middleweight title.

    How about a fighter that could beat Floyd? If he goes on like this and stays undefeated he will go down like Marciano, a big fish in a small pond. Except Mayweather was way more of a ducker than Marciano. The guy sucks, needs to grow some balls and stop swerving top comp.

    Mayweather should move up to heavyweight if he wants a challenge. None of these guys can beat him. Maybe Pacquaio could a few years ago but mayweather ducked hin

    It should be Lamont Peterson. This would continue the cherry picking tradition and would see Peterson rise to 5 or 6 in the P4P ranking without doing anything, just like Canelo and Guerrero did.
