    he's a natural welterweight now. 5"8 long reach.

    He looks good at 147

    It is not that I want to see Oscar and Hatton again but that is just how things go. Remember it is Oscar and Hatton who is pushing the rematch. Floyd is just weighing his options and dumb****s like you assume like he is the mastermind of the whole ****. bc why? prolly you are hispanic. you love sucking on Oscar's ****, just admit. I want to see FLoyd fight Mosely, and easy work Cotto. at 147 FLoyd is favored against everyone. Floyd is just doing what is smart/most obvious. You are just an idiot, and prolly don't even have a real job to relate to this.

    Btw you are prolly one of them gayboy who actually thinks Oscar "should" have beaten Floyd bc of "SD" that is so laughable. 8 rounds of back and forth and 9-12 floyd won them all. you are prolly one of them who thought that Oscar should have won or if he keeps "jabbing" then he would won. HA:good :rofl :rofl :rofl :lol: :dead

    But the difference between Mayweather and say SRL is that SRL WANTED to fight Hearns. WANTED to fight Hagler. He proved he was the best.

    Mayweather thinks he is and i think he's the best around as well. But he has to prove it.

    FYI Cotto and Margo have never held the division title before. Nor did they ever ranked number 1 in their division. If Margo has SOOOOOOOOOO much guts he would have fought at 154lbs where he fights people his own size. But bc he lacks the boxing IQ and talent. He have to weigh drain and shows up 20lbs higher than his opponents to win. REAL GUTS right here. If Cotto is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ballsey. He wouldn't hit so many opponents in their nuts when he is in trouble and justify that he is there to win and by all means.

    He never fought a prime DLH or Mosley because those guys were in their prime in 2000, when Mayweather was at 130.

    Floyd is unquestioned the best boxing talent in all weight classes. SRL was not. It took Floyd to 147 for people to start doubting his ability against bigger opposition. SRL can't claim that he was the best when Hearns is around KOing people left and right. That is the difference.

    Prime Mosley and Prime Hoya had no interest in fighting Floyd. We've already been through this.

    The better question is why didn't a prime Mosely and DLH would fight a proven prospect in Floyd jr?????? Floyd calls everyone worth a damn after every post fight and Mosely, DLH, Kostya was called out the most. But guess what? Mosely didn't respond, DLH hides under Floyd sr. and Kostya don't want none. Cotto and Hatton didn't want any but oh Cotto is ready now according to everyone else except from his own mouth.

    If he fights Cotto then everyone has to STFU. If he doesn't, his time at WW will have been mostly irrelevant in my view.

    prime mosley and Prime Oscar were not interested in fighting Floyd , that not his fault and the fact that Mosley turned floyd down a year in a half ago..

    Hes the linear WW champ and self proclaimed PFP1, FFS!
    In that exalted position youre professionally obliged to fight the top challengers;Thats been the standard way for over a hundred years,its not an overly complex system.Ali didnt duck lesser known top challengers to just fight the Fraziers and Nortons did he.

    If he wants to be semi retired,businessman or just fight exhibitions,thats fine,its his life..
    BUT..
    Do the decent thing and relinquish the stagnating,dormant, linear belt and STOP proclaiming yourself the PFP1.
    Even if he is PFP1 ,its irrelevant if he's just having glorified sparring sessions with Oscar and Hatton.Its meaningless,so he and his fans should keep this self satisfied smugness to themselves..

    Cotto is not Floyd's Mandatory. If Cotto wants Floyd then he would have to be the one to offer. One thing people seem to forget is that Floyd does not need Cotto to be number 1. Floyd is already number 1. If Cotto wants it then Make floyd an offer. He wouldn't dare to call FLoyd's name bc he would be outboxed, outclassed, exposed, and placed as a bum like everyone else floyd embrasses. Floyd would not be bought out. Arum can't afford it.

    Maybe he wasn't ready for a full size welter. maybe the risk outweighs the reward. BTW FYI, he made more fighting the division champ, without having to split with his promoter arum and became free agent. The bottomline is that you don't even know why a "primed" Mosely and DLH wouldn't fight Floyd bc you just follow hype created by idiots. You seem to forget the sole reason why floyd moved up in weight in the first place. You think he moved up to fight big names or prospects? Don't think too hard.
