He actually could use 1-2 years off all a fighter of Floyd's caliber has to do is stay in shape as long as he runs and trains periodically he should be good...he had a long lay off in his career once i get remember the time frame and it didn't seem to really affect him. And this gives time for the Cotto to prove his worth he should at least grab another belt just to make things interesting if he grinds hard enough he should be able to snatch up the Paul Williams fight from Cintron who doesn't seem to want it anyway...after that he fights the winner of Cintron vs. Margarito....he can have damn there a year off himself if he chooses he has 3 belts and is still undefeated....they make a classic fight for the right to be called the undisputed undefeated welterweight champion of the world.
