    If DLH beats PAC and then Hatton, me thinks Floyd will come back for him. He'll get paid alot, the fight will be justified, at a new weight and Floyd did only win a SD!

    39 fights is ok but I think its more what you squeeze into those 39 fights & there have been a few ATGs with less than 50 fights.

    Of course 50-0 looks more impressive than 39-0 but the guy is a legitimate 5 weight world champion & according to most has only been in a very close fight on 2 occassions vs DLH & Castillo (DLH being at 154 & Castillo beaten soundly in the return.)

    If he has 1 flaw in his game its probably that he doesnt throw enough combinations & is far too content to pot shot but those pot shots are perfectly timed & superbly placed & its not as if he CANT throw a combo, he is usually so good that he never gets tested enough to dig into his combo bag.

    Even if he never fights again, he will get FOTD for the 2000s but hopefully he does come back for at least 2 or 3 more fights.
