    Seriously, who do YOU GUYS think would give him a good fight that he hasn't already offered a fight in the past? He has tried to fight the best and now that he's on top he doesn't NEED to fight them, they NEED to fight him. Just like every other top fighter in history he has EARNED the right to decide what fights he wants. You can see that every fighter is saying his name every chance they get now that he's made the big money and said he's retired. Any promoter trying to get him is gonna need to dish out big bucks. If you had that leverage you'd use it too.

      MY respect? Who cares about mmy respect, he's rich! The best thing PBF can do for the sport of boxing is stay retired.

      Who the hell could he fight that it wouldn't be a boring, worthless, fight? All it would do is piss of more casual boxing fans, and make them angry that they were suckered into buying YET ANOTHER PBF PPV that was hyped to be an amazing fight, but won't be.

        I really dont understand the attitude that Floyd and most of his fans present. To make statements that you are currently the best fighter in the world and then being so obvious that you are picking and choosing opponents is pretty ridiculous. But at least from Floyds perspective I can see that most of what comes out of his mouth is a PR ploy although he does truly believe he is the best p4p currently I truly think deep down he has accepted that there are other boxers who although he may be able to beat them, Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, true prime champs at 154, are just too great of a risk and a loss would tarnish the semi-illusion he has worked very hard to create. Please feel free to explain if you think Im off base here.
        Dude, what are you on about, prime champs?

        1) Margarito is a part time chef, he'd be a full time organ donor if he fought floyd.

        2) May 5th de la hoya probably beats anyone at that weight right now, other than winky wright.

        3) So Beating Zab Judah and Paulie M makes cotto the real deal then?

        So how does beating Judah, De La Hoya, Corrales, Castillo not make floyd the real deal? doesnt make sense does it.

        4) Is mosley in his prime? nope, was never the same fighter after forrest murdered him.

        5) Finally, this is picking and choosiing fighters

        Mosley " I cant fight mayweather my tooth hurts, but i can fight collazo"

        Hatton " I want 13 million because i know i will lose"

        Cotto " I went to watch floyd at the gatti fight and didnt wanna fight him, which is why i hardly speak the mans name"

        Mayweather " Rather than fighting Cory spinks, im gonna fight Oscar De La Hoya in his backyard, with his gloves, in a smaller ring, and he will outweigh me by nearly a stone, because i will be a 148 pound fighter, fighting at junior middle"

        Who is picking the fights now?

          TS I don't think any of these three stand much of a chance, but Floyd still has to beat them. They're his contemporaries in his weight range, it's not enough for us to assume he wins. People did that with Roy JOnes too, which is regrettable.

            hatton (at 140), margarito (at 147), and mosley (at 147).

            but these fights should have happend earlier.

              Floyd should care about your respect, after all "you" made him rich.

                Cotto couldnt fight Mayweather by the time Floyd beat Gatti but i bet now Cotto could be a scary match for Floyd but Floyd might pull of a Zab Judah get hit by a low blow and cry but unlie Judah Mayweather will run like a little girl and why doesnt Floyd wanna fight Taylor even though it wouldnt be a good matchup but if Floyd says what he is let him out the talk the test

                  Are you serious about Floyd fighting Taylor ?

                  Cotto would be a good fight for floyd,

                  Judah low blowed floyd in their fight, thats what caused the melee, floyd could have let the fight go to the cards, but he fought on and finished the fight, how is that being a girl?

                      PBF is on vacation...In hopes that....

                      1) Margarito loses to Paul Williams
                      2) Hatton gets blasted by Castillo
                      3) Cintron mysteriously hangs on to "Split Decision" Cotto

                      and the greatest reason of all....

                      waiting till MOSELY's legs get just a little more rusty.
