Floyd cannot retire. He's finally caught the attention of mainstream fans and he now has the spotlight and the potential opponents for his best fights to happen and for his true legacy to be solidified.
I would love for Floyd to move back down to 147 or maybe even 140 where he can actually knock some people out. Mosley, Cotto, and Hatton. If Floyd takes and wins these fights then his argument for the best of his era is done and settled in my mind. But these are fights that are much more dangerous than Oscar and they will remain huge question marks if they never happen. I really hope Floyd does the right thing for the sport and take a few more fights at least.
I also have this weird feeling that Oscar Tito 2 is going to happen soon. And whoever wins that I think will undoubtedly fight Mayweather. That fight would be so huge and get so much attention that an Oscar Floyd rematch or a Tito Floyd fight would be inevitable and a huge payday for both opponents involved. And Mayweather would beat either man with relative ease and he knows it- which is kind of the annoying part about it.
I really want Mosley, Hatton, and Cotto to get their chance to fight Floyd.
Obviously the best move would be to move down to Welterweight. It shouldn't be a problem since he came in 148 during fight night.
Hopefully he isn't gone too long.
I think he should fight Mosley. Maybe another DLH fight. Then Hatton and Cotto(if he beats Super Judah, which I think he most likely will).
Just from watching the DLH fight i think COTTO-MAYWEATHER would be FOTY stuff
he shouldn't retire just yet, I think he should fight Mosley next, that would be a good one.

retire before they rob you of your zero
thats being a punk. if thats the case, then he is Nowhere near being the best. the Best should Want to beat everybody, not retire to preserve a Perfect record. he Cant retire, he is stil in his prime(which isnt much)
Floyd will not retire. He has to many big money fights in the future to retire. Leonard said he was going to retire too, so did Hopkins and a million others. Floyd loves being the best fighter in the sport and he loves to fight. He'll fight again this year...IMO.
