@MADMAC572 A couple of fights ago I was intrigued by a fight with Khan. However I don't see it as a good match up for Khan. If Khan can keep Floyd on the outside I think he has a better chance than Manny..hell better than Cotto. However I see Floyd staying close and crowding Khan. Khan just can't fight on the inside. I mean he's really lacking in that area. I do think there's good money in that fight.
@spankybighead I would like to see him fight Berto, Ortiz again (that first fight was - not satisfying), Pacquio a couple of times, Maidana, Khan a couple of times, Bradley a couple of times and maybe Alvarez at 154 before he moves to middleweight (he's still growing, so that will be sooner rather than latter). At least ten more fights.
@MADMAC572 Chavez is big..bigger than Martinez. I'd actually wouldn't want to see that fight. I'd rather see Floyd vs Saul Alvarez or vs Martinez before Chavez. To me at that point just fight James Kirkland. I mean to me Floyd just doesn't have the frame for those guys. I'd like Floyd vs Berto, Manny and Mike Jones. In fact, make those 3 fights and retire.
@MADMAC572 I don't expect him to hurt Manny per say. However I do think he can take away Manny's ability to deliver combos. For me I think he can take away what Manny does best.
@spankybighead Another interesting fight would be Chavez. It would be a good money fight, it would be for a middleweight title and Floyd is certainly a lot more skilled than Chavez and faster. BUT, Chavez is big. He's a big middleweight. In his last two fights he looked huge. And his skill set continues to improve. It would be a fascinating matchup. Skill versus size.
@spankybighead If Floyd is going to fight him, from a legacy standpoint it only makes sense to do so at 160 and capture the middleweight title. From a money standpoint, that probably doesn't matter, and Floyd has stated he would take the fight at 150. I think Sergio would be seriously drained at that weight.
@spankybighead And I prefer the cross arm is you are not going to jab your way in (and jabbing your way in does leave you open to counters). A lot of pundits don't like it, and I would agree as a routine technique or standard one, it's tough to master getting punches off. But it protects the head well if you are just bulling your way in to work.

@spankybighead Forgot...add Cotto to that list. Then cash out. The Manny and Cotto fights should be great financially.
