    We need FLoyd. . Love him, or hate him, boxing is better with him. . . But he said he's "80-20" in favor of hanging the gloves up. . . He said he was even pondering it before the Cotto fight. . I was thinking his mindset was the opposite - believing that he somehow rekindled his passion for boxing, and wanted to capitalize on these next 3 years of his physical prime - making as much money possible so he'll never have to worry about goign broke, and coming back when he's 40+. .

    He said "there's nobody out there right now but the young pups. . . " He mentions Canelo, but Canelo won't be ready until 2013. . .

    Khan's name was mentioend (although it's not clear if Floyd said it, or the authoer was just implying). . .

    Why no mention of Sergio? Personally, I don't think it would be fair to expect Floyd to fight a natural MW like Sergio, but some of his fans seemed convinced the fight woudl come off?

    Same with guys like Lara - not big enough name. ..

    Basically, it's Pacquiao, Canelo, and Khan. . . Only names that really bring any kind of moeny that Floyd is looking for to the table.

    One More Fight. And he should advertise it as his last fight.

    Khan probably would be too late to get in on the sweepstake cause he needs at least one fight at WW. Oscar said Canelo ain't ready yet and Pac, well....

    He's right. There's almost nothing left for him BUT Pacquiao. Eh, hopefully Pac wins and they can both come to terms, knowing it'll be both of their final fights.

    If not Pacquiao. . Then it's gotta be TWO MORE! OR, if it is only one more, it's GOTTA BE KING KHAAAAAAAAAN!

    My boy deserves that payday, and the shot! Plus, I think he could pose some problems. . Although I don't think he'll win. . .

    75/25 Floyd US revenue, and 50/50 UK revenue, and Khan whips yo ass!

    That would be a lot of Money for Khan Floyd will probably ask for a bigger split in the UK I mean Khan is splitting everything with Peterson.

    The very existence of Sergio is hardly even aknowledged.


    A shame, because at 154 him vs May would be a chess match of the highest level.


    At 154 Sergio would actually retire Cotto permanently from the sport, if Mayweather hasn't done so already.

    Actually, he really doesn't. He's done nothing at the weight in which Floyd competes at. He generates money in the UK, but nobody really knows or cares about him in the states other than hardcores. He's talked himself into position, but hasn't done much to truly "deserve" it.

    So much for Sergio/Floyd, b/c Mayweather can not beat Sergio. All the other stuff about money, weight, drug testing is just excuses. He might fight Manny now though, since JMM beat him. He will just have to be realistic on the money.

    That's cause Peterson was talking about bitching out! Khan was so pissed with getting jobbed, he was willing to sacrifice all that money to right the wrong. . . Fair play to Peterson for getting in position to get this payday, though. . If anybody deserves it, he does. . I don't blame him for what happened with the scoring, and refereeing.


    But yeah, Floyd would prolly end up getting 60/40 UK money. . .

    Khan would still end up with around 20 million or so. . .

    Maidana, Malignaggi, and Judah baby!. . Soon to be Peterson (twice, really). ..


    But he'll dispatch of somebody at 147 like Alexander, or Berto-Ortiz winrar. . .


    Then. . 75/25, and 60/40, and Khan whips yo ass!

    He gets ko'd by Berto (if he fights smart, which is unlikely) OR Ortiz (I'd put a ban bet on that). It would be a helluva fight though.

    Alexander beat Maidana easier than Khan did, so that could be a fight I guess.

    something tells me Floyd won't just go to jail, get out, and then retire. It's just too lame of an ending.

    He'll fight at least one more time after jail for sure.

    Amir, one time for the UK fans

    and Amir gets his AZZ beat. He'll be in shock as Floyd outjabs him. Unlike Cotto(e), Amir wouldn't know how to get on the inside and fight there
