    I would not be surprised to see this as a PPV as somehow,somehow Mora/Mosley was one but I am not in favor of this fight. On the bright side if he fights whoever in July then fights Pacquiao in November then I can't complain. Hopefully his legal troubles don't prevent this from happening.

    :lol:We don't. He doesn't have his desire for the sport anymore but one thing he does have is work ethic so ring rust shouldn't play too much of a factor if he does decide to come back though it's still a factor. I just hope Floyd doesn't take the path Roy toke when he lost his passion for the sport. I highly doubt he fights Spadafora and as you said, Floyd has only fought the top names since DLH(JMM doesn't count as he was a lw though it was interesting to see the bigger techincal fighter beat the smaller technical fighter on skill and not size ala Hopkins-Wright).

    Sometimes I think floyds just milking his fans, he is right about people paying to see him lose, but he takes fights he will win for sure and is a big favourite in, him coming back the whole time makes it do good numbers.
    I wish he would fight berto or cotto as a tune up instead of this guy.

    That's what alot of people say about Pac and his current opponent. But I agree, Spaddy means nothing for PBF.

    true, mosley is a money fight and a boxing politics move by bob arum vs gbp, im not happy with this fight at all I will root for the guy of course but id rather seen him fight marquez or berto now.
