    I'd be extremely disappointed in PBF if he chose to fight Hatton again... What, with all the "I've got enough money, so its obviously not about the money anymore. Its about the love of sport and legacy".

    Floyd's got 2 options, which I think after his career NO one can really argue with (cause he's got nothing to prove, kinda like Lennox Lewis even after Vitali):

    Retire; OR
    Fight Cotto.

    PBF has proved all he needs to. fighting Cotto would be for his own personal joy and would beat him easier then Hatton

    Well, REALLY, Floyd has a heap of options. What I meant is: If he doesn't choose to fight Cotto, he might as well retire. He's done all he needs to, and this is the fight everyone wants to see.

    Of course there's a few exceptions, re: a Williams fight. But still, if Williams doesn't amount to anything, history might not see it as that big a win. And it is risky. HIGHLY doubt Floyd would take this

    **** - honestly if I was in pretty boys shoes - I'll take the easy money over a hard fight any day - and you would do the same.

    Even after a rematch with Ricky Hatton - if Cotto hasn't lost - he still be there waiting.

    His legacy is damn near set in stone - so it doesn't really make a difference what he does now. Still - I would rather him take the Cotto fight - if not Cotto then Mosley. If not those two - retire or go beat Spinks ass for an easy belt.

    his leagacy is damn near set in stone... but its not the legacy he thinks it is. hall of famer... but not on the same page as the guys he compares himself too.

    of course if he fights cotto there may be room for impovement.

    If you guys are open for PBF bull ****...then what in the hell are you guys doing here at ESB, becuase you guys are NOT BOXING FANS....

    He has presedent ducking a top contender at a weightclass-

    The Casamayor v. PBF we all expected to happend and all we can do know is speculate that's it...

    The key to be able to take PBF into a fight is adjustments and Cotto is the only opponent out there at 147 that clearly shown the capacity to adjust in a bout....

    I think that at this point PBF is a strong 50 to 75 ATG....he needs Cotto to break the top 50 mark IMO....
