    He already had a tune-up against Ortiz.

    other than the die-hard floyd fans, does anyone take floyd's word seriously anymore?

    boxrec has him fighting TBA on 05/05. Given the date I am guessing he will try to find a mexican opponent. he seems to be trying to follow Oscar's business plan. towards the end of his career Oscar always fought the weekend of Sept 16th (mexican independance day) and May 5th (cinco the mayo). Being mexican Oscar cashed in on those 2 holiday weekends. Floyd has fought his last 3 fights on those dates

    Floyd is not mexican so he needs to fight other mexicans to make it work (yes I know Mosley isn't mexican). I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to get margarito or angulo or something like that.

    Floyd really can't commit and it would also be foolish to commit to a Floyd fight until after another hearing for his 4 felony charges sometime this month.

    Neither Hatton or Mosley are Mexican. That means that no Mexican has been featured in a big fight on Cinco de Mayo weekend in the last three years. Mayweather's number one target for this day is Pacquiao. I'm not sure why everyone presumes he's going to fight a Mexican just because he wants to fight the first weekend of May.

    Thank you Bob Arum's parrot. I makes you wonder how he was able to commit to a fight with Ortiz and how he has already committed to fighting this upcoming May.

    It wouldn't have sold anyways..

    people are getting smart with their money after the Ortiz fight.

    LOL@ people getting their hopes high that he was going to fight in February, much less May.

    that fight was going to be for a Khan fight most likely. If Khan looked impressive against Peterson, the fight would have probably happened before either a Cotto or Pacquiao showdown in July.

    You mean the guys that say he called Pac out and there can be no negotiations until the law suit is dropped? The ones that say I'm defending Arum for pointing out Floyd says as much **** as Bob? You mean those guys?

    Seriously, those guys are a ton of fun. They can't even see the obvious inconsistencies because they feel they have a duty to believe everything Floyd spits out. :rofl

    The guy he won't even talk to as long as the law suit is in place? The one that would go away in a heart beat in negotiations? Please.
