Timothy Bradley is looking to get big fights in the coming months following his victory against Jessie Vargas on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
And if he will have it his way, the four-time world champion said that he wants to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. or get another rematch with Manny Pacquiao in his next fight.
Bradley, who ran away with a unanimous decision win but not after almost being knocked down in the final seconds of the fight, said that he is open to facing Mayweather, who is considered as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world today with his perfect 48-0 record.
Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum also believes Bradley, who holds a 32-1-1 record with 12 knockout victories, will be a great opponent to Mayweather, who is reportedly planning to fight one more time in September before retiring.
"I think of all the guys around he'd make the best fight for Mayweather," Arum said of Bradley via BoxingScene.
However, Arum is unsure if the unbeaten world welterweight and junior middleweight champion will give Bradley a shot, knowing that his countryman is a dangerous opponent.
"Floyd's always taken the least dangerous guy and Bradley poses a great danger," Bradley said. "So will Showtime - which has to come up with the money - let him fight someone who's not going to resonate at the box-office. That's up to him and Showtime."
Aside from trying to give Mayweather the first defeat of his boxing career, Bradley made it no secret that he is willing to face Pacquiao again on top of the ring.
Bradley scored a controversial split decision win against Manny Pacquiao during their first fight in June 2012. The Filipino boxing champion avenged the defeat in April last year, where he cruised to a lopsided decision win.
Bradley wants a rematch because he felt he could have done better during their second fight if he was not bothered by an ailing calf, which affected to his movement inside the ring.
"I feel I would have done a lot better in the second fight if I would have had my right calf, to be able to move and do the things that I was planning on doing," Bradley told On The Ropes Boxing Radio. "The second half of the fight I could have used my legs more if I had my legs underneath me and moved and made Manny Pacquiao miss more."
A rematch with Pacquiao will have to wait, though, as Pacquiao is expected to be out for the remainder of the year following a shoulder surgery after losing to Mayweather last month.
