    i hope he doen't fight mosley because all that will happen is he'll make mosley look a fool then get **** for fighting an old man. Gotta take on Cotto really, pac too small, and although i'm a hatton fan i don't want him to go near ricky again, we all know what the out come will be.

      It might've if he hadn't gotten blown out with a quickness in the rematch.

        how about cotto fight mosley and the winner gets floyd? i think that works

        pac too small, and although i'm a hatton fan i don't want him to go near ricky again, we all know what the out come will be.
        yeah, but there's too much money in a pac fight for it not to happen

              I don't think so. I rather he stay retired and fade into bolivian so I don't have to hear everyone talk about him.

                  Even in the lower weights he never fought a Joel Casamayor a Kostya Tszyu, Acelino Freitas he never beat a true legend in those divisions. He kept going up in weight and refusing to fight the real best fighters from his weight class.

                    Today no, although his regard has risen after the winky domination. He's a throwback that can fight between 147,154,160. He's got a freakish tommy hearns type body. He's improving every fight. Punch output ridiculous.

                    In two years when floyd finishes up with the other guys, in a certain light you could see it as a leonard hagler type deal less the retirement n all.

                    Point is sky looks like the limit for pwill so its not out of the question.

                      Co-sign, although the work he did at 130-135 is substantially higher than 140, 147, 154. Even a stevie johnston or paul spadafora.
