Will Floyd ever fight a prime world-class welterweight?

[a-raines21]

So not only is he picking on a much smaller man in Juan Manuel Marquez, he's forcing him to fight at 147, when the most he's ever fought at was 135.

If he needs to fight at 147, why doesn't Floyd choose an opponent who prefers that weight, instead of choosing an opponent from a smaller weight division?

lol...... y is okay for odlh to do the same to pacquiao? this is the exact same thing that odlh did (not to mention, odlh is much bigger than floyd: he fought at 160 for crying out loud) ....... the SAME thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! pac was coming off a win in his only fight ever above 130, and made the jump to 147 to fight odlh...... got a 24/ and a little name and everything..... but when floyd does the same ****ing thing, its a crime..... **** you floyd haters

Not even for the right price. If he really wanted to, he would be coming back as a welter and fighting a welterweight contender or champ, not in a catchweight fight as suggested versus JMM, the current lightweight champ. Didn't Floyd retire as a welter?

If JMM is indeed a "tune-up" as some people here have stated, there are alot of good welters out there that he could use as tune-up, but he's not going to do that. Not because he can't beat them, it's because of the high risk/low reward factor. It's all business with Money May.

Consider this, most retired athletes in most sports come back because they miss the sport they love so much. Floyd's just coming back for more money.

That will not happen until Shane is further past his prime and is coming off a loss.
