Floyd should fight every single decent fighter at 147 in the same night.

    There's at least 4 credible fights at WW that would give PBF much needed respect to add to his contrived legacy. How his fans can continually fall for the hype, smoke, and mirrors routine is beyond comprehension:good

    It's real simple, do what great Champions have alway's done, its the history of boxing. As I've said before SRR had more fights over the age of 40(in15 round era) than PBF has had in 11 years:lol: Before that?? 128-1-2 and the man never made 10 mil!!!

    Times are different yes and I wouldnt advocate or expect Floyd to even hit 50 fights necessarily!! Yet, its clear that WW is stacked, PBF is still prime and another 4-6 fights would still leave him under 45. Wanna be great?? Want real respect?? Then it's obvious what he should do:yep

    If PBF is a super as he and his minions believe?? It should be nothing more than FREE MONEY and RESPECT:happy I dont have to like it, TO RESPECT THE TRUTH, but it must be PROVEN:bbb Not left to open ended speculation and "offers". Couldve, shouldve, HASNT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    a lot of people hate floyd and would love to see him brutalized and humilated, a la foreman vs frazier; hence, you'll see a lot complain at the end of each fight that floyd wins even if his opponent was recognized as one of the best.
    I personally would love to see floyd get KTFO to another planet, but sadly i don't see anyone at 147 other than mosley or maybe cotto who'd be able to do such a thing. i really hope that floyd won't fight pw (who, imo, as an overrated puncher) or hatton cause we all know how they'll end.

    Floyd is a ducker. He takes the easy fights and the cash, everyone knows that. The problem is all you guys hanging off his testicles by your mouths.

    He is the greatest, blah blah blah.

    He isn't great till he fights the best.

    He should have fought Margo a couple of years back, it was the fight everyone wanted.

    He should fight Cotto now.

    He might take on Hatton at 147 because he saw Hatton move up in weight and look ****.

    A past it ODLH and it makes PPV history. WTF is wrong with you people? ODLH is a shadow of what he was.

    Floyd is at the top. When you are at the top you simply can not fight everyone. IMO that's o.k. as long as you fight credible opponents. We don't know who floyd is going to fight next so it's premature to say that he is ducking anyone.

    Take the margarito issue for example. Everyone says that he turned down a fight with Margarito (which he did, there is no denying that) however the guy that he fought instead was a perfectly acceptable fight IMO.

    One thing that he needs to stop doing is begging Oscar for a rematch. It looks extremly pathetic when in one sentence you talk about how easily you beat a guy and in the next won you are crying for a rematch.

    Doesn't change the fact that it looks pathetic. You say that Shane Mosley can't talk money with you, no one that fights you can talk money with you. They all have to take whatever you tell them that they can make because you are that big of a money maker. if that's the case, you shouldn't need Oscar so badly. Oscar could fight just about anyone and make $20 million right now. Floyd can only make that kind of money against Oscar.

    Yep, Floyd cared about his legacy in boxing, he'd tried to fight Cotto, Williams, Hatton, or Cintron. A DLH fight would mean nothing except more money in both DLH and Mayweathers pockets. And as a boxing fan, I wouldn't pay to see them fight again.

    I didn't pay for it the first time. I can't beleive that any real boxing fan bought into the hype the first time around. Anyone could have predicted that it would be an average fight.

    Yeah I know, and the undercard sucked too. But 24/7 got me to get it. I don't watch reality TV at all, but that show got me pumped up hoping to see Floyd get knocked out.
