Because Floyd knows it's the end of the line. Not only is the "hand injury" rumor a predispensed excuse, his whole statement is setting the stage for another retirement. He's already negated the idea of fighting Cotto (should he get past Hatton), throwing out the Arum excuse.
Floyd's cynical business plan of jumping around for weak title bouts and protecting his precious undefeated record is coming back to bite him in the ass. He can't defend 154 (Forrest, Mosely, etc..), so he retired and left the belt in the middle of the road. Now he cannot even defend 147 without quickly losing the "0"! ****, I seriously doubt he could stay long at 140 without getting beat. He should have never moved beyond 135. There he could have possibly cemented a legacy by cleaning out a division. Win or lose to Hatton, the party is over for Floyd. He knows it.
Floyd Mayweather may fight Cotto if the money is so incredible that he takes it as a swan song and a prayer and retires. Other than that, I seriously doubt we'll see Floyd fighting anybody else but Hatton before he retires (the rematch-trilogy stuff).
Paul Williams, Cotto, Margarito, Vernon Forrest ..........Floyd doesn't want to fight these men.
