    Assuming PBF wins against Hatton, who do you think would he fight next? Paul Williams or the winner of the Cotto/Mosley fight? Im guessing he would take on the winner of the Cotto/Mosley fight as it would be a bigger payday for PBF. But I wouldnt be surprised also if he takes on Paul Williams. I have this feeling that Paul Williams vs. PBF would happen if Paul Williams would call him out. Just my 2 cents worth

    I think the winner of Cotto/Mosley should fight Williams, and the winner of that fight could fight PBF. That way if PBF wins, we will hopefully not have to hear about how he ducks the loser of one of the previous fights.:roll:

    I think he steers well clear of Williams. :deal

    Perhaps Williams should prove himself by fighting the winner of Cotto/Mosley?:think

    He could prove himself further by beating the winner, of course.

    If Williams did that and succeeded of course, it would be very hard for PBF to duck him, and PBF would be left with three choices as I see it.
    1. He could retire, which would make Williams the new man at WW.
    2. He could move up in weight again, but I think he has already realised that LMW was a step too far for him.
    3. He could fight Williams.

    The hardest part is of course to get the Cotto/Mosley winner to fight Williams. That is the problem today, all the contenders want to fight the champ, but no one really wants to fight each other to get to the champion.

    floyd should just retire he brings nothing to the sport. none of his fights have ever been interesting since he moved up in weight. either go down in weight to 135 or retire. I'm sick of having to pay for PPV that are as good as ESPN fights. another option is to actually fight the elite at welterweight even though he still will just give us more boring fights at that weight but theres more of a chance of the fights being more competitive..

    Another solution could be that you grew wiser and didn't buy the PPVs.;)

    I agree that Williams needs to beat someone a little better than Margarito, who was a pretty over-hyped guy (the whole "most feared" thing was lame). I also agree that Floyd doesn't want to have to face a guy with arms as long as telephone poles. I think Cotto and Floyd could be great, the only guy that could beat Floyd is someone with one punch power, which Hatton nor Williams has, and Cotto and maybe Mosley do.

    Yea i'm not buying anything else that has to do with Floyd. IT's been a disappointment everytime and i dont think he will ever change. Thats why he will never be the greatest like he claims to be.

    Whichever fight is less risky

    More money, less risk? BOGUS, lil Floyd fought Baldomir for way less money
    than the 8 mil that was promised to duke it out with Margarito
