    :rofl

    Thats funny.

    I am a big Mosley and Cotto fan.

    Hopefully one of them gets Mayweather by winter and if not, I wish they'd fight eachother.

    because you touch yourself at night:nut no seriously, Floyd believes he in a position to call the shots (financial, terms etc) plus he is officially retired so in order to get his ass in the ring, it needs to be worth his while. Also, everyone is making a big deal about Floyd asking for too much, you gotta understand he doesn't need the money and he's RETIRED. I believe all this news we're creating about him goes in his favour. Cocky or not, you guys WANT HIM to get back in the ring:deal

    Hes retired but he calls out Hatton and Oscar for a rematch?? I dont think so, he wants the biggest easiest fights for the money. Probably the best fights for the fans, is either Mosley or Cotto, then Hatton and Oscar in that order.

    PBF likes what he does.His not retired and wont stay that way for long.He doesnt need boxing but he loves the sport thats for sure.The only guy im sure would beat him is Shane.He cant hurt him, shane is equally as fast, has a better chin (by a small margin) will walk through all his shots and hits 3 times as hard.But i doubt we`ll see this fight happen.

    Mayweather responded to Hattons remarks, you would do the same thing. Mayweather is playing it smart. Most knowlegdable people know there isn't anyone who could beat Floyd, thats why we say ______ has the best chance. Floyd knows what hes doing and we're eating it all up. Whether or not he has another fight, we will only begin to appreciate him in the years to come, like with all retired boxers.

    100% Floyd will fight again. He will fight the guy who pays him the most. His handlers are negotiating fights right now for the future. My guess is it will be either Mosley or Hatton, and most likely Hatton in the fall.

    No we won't all appreciate him. He's a fantastic fighter but he's leaving too many questions behind if he retires now. Put money aside for a moment and think of what he could achieve.

    Fight Mosley, Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, Williams, Cintron and maybe a rematch with ODLH. He fights even half of those and beats them all, he'll be a certified ATG.

    Floyd is still young enough to drop down to 140 and beat Hatton. Undisputed LW champ. Makes up for not fighting KT. Move back to 147 and beat both Mosley and Cotto and maybe Margarito or Williams. No one could complain about him then.

    I agree, the fighters in his division are all finally coming into their own, and providing solid opposition for his legacy. He needs to continue to fight and beat some of these other fightes. Beating Oscar was a great accomplishment, but beating Cotto, Hatton, Mosley and the Margarito Williams winner, would really put him over the top.

    This is my point. Everyone's screaming about who he fights next!! Fight them all. Leave no doubts as to his talent. If he fights Mosley next and loses, don't retire. Fight Hatton, or Cotto or whomever. A loss isn't the end of the world. He's only 30 and the way he fights he's got at least 6 years left in him. He has a good resume, but it's not a top 10 atg record and we all know that's what he'd really want.

    i agree with most everything except having him to move down and back up...that takes a toll on your body...especially when you want him to do this and go against very good fighters you know.

    I think he should stay at 147 which is the best division anyway and fight all comers....Mosley,Cotto,Margo, and if Hatton quits the belly aching and move up like most fighters have done.

    Mosely wouldn't last 12 rounds with Cotto. No WW boxer at 147 will. He pressures accurately, with a consistent gameplan which he executes to perfection. He implodes his opponents... Hey that could be a good nickname for him. Miguel "M-plosive" Cotto...

    I'm sure that if Mosely Camp makes an offer to fight Cotto, his camp will acept, unlike that Mayweather fellow. However, if Mosely-Cotto fight occurs, look to see Mosely retired afterwards... Mayweather will truly retire after he fights Cotto as well... He'll be hurting forever...
