Other candidates: Rematch with (the suspiciously bulkier) Marquez, Garcia (too easy, although he was certainly impressive vs Matthysse), Broner (said he wouldn't fight Floyd apparently, but might have the boxing skills to match Floyd), maybe Golovkin (quite risky, but Floyd will likely outbox him).

Mayweather will simply go for the most lucrative fight available at the time.. Only reason Khan is getting mentioned is because it would generate a fair bit of cash.
There isn't really anyone left for him to fight. As others have said, the Pacquiao fight should have been 3-4 years ago, it's pointless now.
The only guys who may trouble Mayweather are Golovkin and Ward but they are much bigger guys and he doesn't need to go after those fights. Sergio Martinez is a possibility?

Khan in the UK, will be his biggest payday option. However not sure Floyd will take it, given the hometown points scoring that may go down if it goes the distance. On Sat, even with winning every round, a judge still scored it 114-114 and thats in Vegas ?????????????????
Also if Pacman looks impressive against Rios then maybe, just maybe....
Bah who am i kidding. If they couldn't get it together before, then its unlikely this time, although Arum, may now think differently and throw his prized possession to the dogs now that he's no longer his unstoppable goose that lays the golden egg.

True. I think if Khan fought Mayweather he would lose, first round easy. Khan can't take a hit.
After watching the Mayweather fight although his cockyness annoys me gotta say his defense is top notch.
1 round?
I think Khan would last longer.
In his last few fights, Mayweather has won on points, so I think Mayweather these days, plays the long game, rather than going for a glory knockout. He has shown that he has terrific patience.
I think Khan, could go around 8 rounds OR if Khan works hard on his defence and doesnt take any risks, it will go the distance.
Of course, whatever happens, Mayweather would be overwhelming favourite to win.
