Personally...I can honestly say that Floyd is not Cautious in taking fights.
As I mentioned in a previous thread. Of the "So-called" top-welters, none of them legitimately came to negotiations to fight Floyd.

After Paul Williams beat Sharmba Mitchell, it made Williams THE MANDATORY challenger for Margarito's Title. Margarito did not want to fight Williams...and "Williams' Team" THREATENED a Law-suit against Margarito...So where are all the threads calling Margarito a ducker.
And after Williams beat Margarito, Williams said he will give Margarito an IMMEDIATE REMATCH. But margarito goes on to fight Golden Johnson and Kermit Cintron.

When Floyd won Two Title eliminators at 140lb (Corley & Bruseles) then fighting (Mandatory fight) for Gatti's 140lbs title. He was considered the Best at 140lbs. The other 140lbs Title Holder was Miguel Cotto. Did Cotto come to the Table to get a deal done with Floyd...NO. He was fighting Abduleav, Torres, Branco and Malignaggi.

When Floyd moved to 147lbs..was Mosley jumping in the ring embarassing himself during Floyd interviews?...NO. He was fighting David Estrada, Jose Luis Cruz and Fernando Vargas...HE NEVER MENTIONED WANTING TO FIGHT FLOYD until he start looking for one last PHAT PAY CHECK BEFORE RETIREMENT!!!

So it wasn't Floyd being Cautious...It was the So-Called best...NOT WANTING TO FIGHT FLOYD!!!

And its so stupid not to want to fight Floyd.

1. Floyd is a Cash-Cow...Everyone fighter that fights Floyd, (After 2001) makes the most money they would have made in their careers for a fight.

2. Physically, its an easy fight. Floyd is not some Brawler, that will give you a concusion, bloody your ass to death. So therefore there is no threat to your career. HE'LL JUST MAKE YOU LOOK BAD AND OUTBOX THE **** OUT OF YOU!!!

And the one thing (its actually much more ****) that bothers the hell out of me...is after Floyd Goes to a weight that he has never fought at before to fight Oscar, whos had 6 fights at 154lbs and a fight at 160lbs..After this fight....he fights Ricky Hatton at 147lbs...Everybody (Floyd Haters) go on & on saying: "Why did he fight Ricky at 147lbs, he made Hatton move up...Ricky is a 140lbs fighter:|:|"

So everyone thinks the SMART thing to do is to have a fighter who just fought at 154lbs to shed 14lbs to fight a 140lbs fighter instead of diong THE LOGICAL thing and MEETING IN THE MIDDLE 147LBS!!!:-(

And another thing....Why is it OK for Oscar to Fight Steve Forbes, Cotto to fight Alfonso Gomez and Pavlik to fight Miguel Espino...All fighters from the "Contender" reality show and neither fighter is not much of a challenge. Now I know all their FANS will tell you (especially one particular Cotto fan) will SWEAR ""they were all tune-ups"..Fine, Personally I don't have a problem with it.

But Floyd has only one fight in over two years...and after the negotiations failed with Pacquiao...IF HE FOUGHT A FIGHTER FROM "THE CONTENDER" OR MALIGNAGGI, OR MAT HATTON ITS JUST DOWN RIGHT WRONG!!!

Floyd has got to fight KING KONG AND SHAQ TO "STAY BUSY OR TUNE-UP"...BUT ITS OK FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO FIGHT STEVE FORBES, MIGUEL ESPINO OR JOSHUA CLOTTEY.

Dare I say...DOUBLE F***ING STANDARD!!!:-(

Who's asking for King Kong? Name me 1 fighter Floyd has fought at WW that can beat Clottey? Clottey would sure damm beat Mitchell, already beat Judah and was beating Baldomir before a stupid DQ and Im pretty sure he would beat Hatton at WW too. Double standards my ass.

Floyd's resume:

-A past prime Genaro Hernandez. Still a good win considering how well he performed.
-A blowout of Angel Manfredy. Showed what class he was as a fighter, though not a great win in itself.
-A dissection, albeit in a difficult fight, of Emmanuel Augustus. Again, just a fight that showed off Floyd's level rather than being a top notch win.
-A clinic over a weight-drained Corrales. Regardless of Corrales's condition, Floyd's performance was flawless and it was indeed a very impressive win.
-A win over Carlos Hernandez after breaking his hand halfway through. A good win given his condition, hardly top notch though.
-A TKO win over the tough and rugged Jesus Chavez. Impressive display of clean counter-punching, again not a top notch win.
-Two bouts with Jose Luis Castillo. The first being an arguable win for Castillo, the second being a safety first display that saw him win comfortably, although not in very impressive fashion. This against the best opponent he'd ever faced.
-An easy win over Corley outside of the fact that he was legitimately hurt in the fight. Corley was a B or C level fighter.
-Domination of a shot, C level Arturo Gatti.
-Domination of a shop-worn Sharmba Mitchell at Welterweight.
-A win over Zab Judah which saw Floyd get dropped and lose 4 rounds. This being the Judah who'd just come off a loss to Baldomir.
-An easy but unimpressive decision win over the same Baldomir, one of the worst WW champions of all time.
-A close, split decision win over a past prime De La Hoya.
-A KO victory over Hatton at a weight where his class, or lack thereof, was already proven against Collazo. Not the most impressive performance up until the KO in my opinion. Though for some reason people seem to paint it as so.
-A decision win over the smaller, fading, completely outmatched Marquez at WW.

At the time he fought them the most dangerous opponents were probably Castillo and a past prime De La Hoya, which both happened to be his toughest fights. The former being a very disputed decision in their first fight.

Floyd's list of opponents is solid, though not nearly as good as it could be, and often times not as impressive against even the opposition that he did face. A very talented fighter? Yes. An all time great? Not in my opinion.
