    Well he's in the position where his next fight HAS to be a huge one, and thats great for us

    I think Floyd beats all three, but they'll make for awesome fights

    I'd like to see Floyd fight one of those strong guys from 140. I'd like to see him against Bradley, Nate Campbell, Urango, or Juan Diaz. He looked rusty & has earned the right to have another tuneup on regular HBO.

    Mosley had his chance years ago. He should be frozen out.

    I hope he fights mosley that will be a great fight. Hopefully the boxing commision will have the common sense like have cotto fight pac and floyd fight mosely and then the winners fight each other. If I win the lotto i am flying over from england to watch it.

    The 2 fights that make sense are Mosley and the winner of Pacman vs Cotto.

    Against Mosley Floyd has an easy negotiation to be made, if he offers 20% Mosley will take it. Again the timing is right for this fight.

    Against Pacman the negotiation will be dificult. No way this fight comes off unless it's a 50-50 split with a million dollar penalty for each pound over the 145lbs wheight limit.

    I want to see Floyd put on another boxing clinic. I think he can put out better numbers against Ivan Calderon or Vic Darchinyan. :D

    I think they should go ahead and start working on getting a deal done with Shane for early next year, like January.

    I want a tough test for him. Shane, Cotto/pac winner, paul williams, even the plastered version of margarito:lol:, those guys.

    If he chooses Berto or Amir Khan as his next fight, i'd be pissed

    After he watches a tape of the Mosley/Margarito fight, he'll tell Ellerbe to retract that statement. I know PBF has nightmares about that fight.
