So Mayweather has mentioned names like Karim Mayfield and Andre Berto recently. He's previously said: "I'm going to fight who I want to fight. Someone I think is solid".
Amir Khan has staked a claim to be the one, and most people see him as a favorite to get the fight. Here's what he had to say about Floyd's recent comments:
"He must definitely see me as a dangerous opponent if he doesn't want to fight me...I didn't even know Flody Mayweather knew who Karim Mayfield was. When he ran into Karim Mayfield, he walked past him like he was a fan. No disrespect, I like Karim, he's a good fighter, and so is Berto, but the thing is, there's levels...It seems to me he's going to be finishing off his career on a low.
It's the biggest fight out there for him and it's the most dangerous fight out there for him. I mean, everyone is talking about it already. When I was at the Hall of Fame, people were all talking about that fight. "Can Mayweather beat Khan and vice versa?" I think he knows that I've got the height, I've got the size, and I've got the speed to give him the biggest problems. He probably thinks, "Do I really need a style like Amir Khan, who's going to give me problems? Do I really need to fight him?" If he can take an easy route, which it seems like he's taking now, he thinks he can keep his undefeated record."
Keith Thurman & IBF champion Kell Brook are in agreement with each other and have said that they are the biggest threats to Mayweather and should get the fight in September.
Shawn Porter said after his fight against Broner: "I'm not looking at anymore Mayweather undercards, I'm looking at fighting him!"
But who does the fans actually want to see?
Mayweather himself had this to say in early June:
"It's been a goal to come to the UK and put on a spectacular event and the plan is to do just that," he told The Sun.
"I love all my fans in the UK and I want to go there and give a good show at Wembley before I retire. I plan to come in the near future. I want to continue to make history with the mega events we put on.
"The Floyd Mayweather brand is globally recognised. The warm welcome over there in UK is a good indicator of the magnitude of success a fight would have. We're looking forward to it in the future."
