What then for him? Try and get to 50-0 or retire? I think the allure of how big a pay day would be for that sort of thing would be way too much to turn down. Then again, I'd have thought he'd have had Manny as the 50th opponent and not now. Then again he might be waiting for the next young star to come along and then take him out (either in the future or not).
He'll prob hope Cotto can hang onto his middleweight strap. Relieve him of it for another lineal championship in a new weight class.
If he beats Manny Floyd will get a fairly easy pass for whoever he picks for his next fight, he will get to 50-0 then retire. He won't stick around for the money, he won't ever come close to the Pac purse again.
