Any news on it? Floyd say he was definietly retiring in it or not? In the post fight interview with Larry he never said for sure he was. He just kinda dodged it and didn't know what he was gonna do.
Did he make up his mind or what?
I like cotto in his current weight much more. I think he could bully floyd alot more than hatton with his power. also Cotto has better movement. Not good movement but better defensively than Hatton.
Paul Williams is the man to beat Mayweather, not Cotto.
If Williams/Mayweather got signed tomorrow, I would bet on Williams.
Paul's height, reach, stance and consistent workrate all spell trouble for Floyd.
Hatton is Quicker than Cotto so yeah i think cotto will lose by UD, Hatton was able to bully mayweather early on because he was quick but Cotto is too plonderous to me.
It'd be way to stupid for him to take 09 off also.
He should take about 8-9 months off in 08 then train in the later months and fight Cotto in December or Novemeber.
Financially it's better for Floyd to take time off and let the others fight it out. Hopefully one of them stay undefeated, gets marketed well so that in a couple of years, Floyd gets an even larger payday on his comeback.
Cotto isn't a big draw (yet) but if he can beat Williams, Margarito and learn some good English (he's getting better!), in 2 years he'll be worth a lot more to Floyd.
Going forward, Floyd fights will solely be business decisions. He honestly has nothing to gain by fighting Cotto at this stage.

In the interview with Merchant he said he would take a long vacation. Then as the crew were having their final words Jim Lampley said Mayweather said that he was taking 2008 and 2009 off.
Floyd will HOPEFULLY take a vacation for the entire year and fight the biggest name (Most likely Cotto after beating Clottey and Marg) around this time next year.
No, he just said he was taking a "long vacation" and would come back when he felt it was necessary. But right now he said he was going to focus on "Mayweather promotions"
