    Well I think everyone is cause of the money. But Pac and Hatton wont be ready to fight again until fall.


    I just think it sucks that Mosley and JMM both had big wins about right at the same time and they are both free in the summer and PBF-Mosley hasnt even been mentioned when in my opinion it is the better fight and the more sensible one as theyre in the same weight class.

        I know JMM is real marketable right now and kicking ass at 135 but I just dont see him being much a threat to PBF. He aint going to outbox PBF and he isnt going to be able to war with him. PBF does everything he does better, and is faster and bigger.


        Mosley is a real 147 pounder and the fight would be extremely marketable. Plus Mosley is with goldenboy promotions and it would be an easy fight to make cause PBF and DLH are cool unlike Arum who has issues with PBF.


        I would rather this fight gets made.
        i like floyd/mosley better too, but mosley isn't a tune up, jmm is .

            Mosley is too much for Floyd for a come back fight. Floyd needs a fight where he can see where he is both Mentally and Physically. He's coming off a long layoff and a "retirement." His words weren't encouraging when he was discussing boxing prior to Oscar and Hatton fights...as well as his words once the Hatton fight was over and he headed towards retirement. I would like to know what is making him come back: Money troubles or the Will to fight?

            JMM will setup a fight with Pac if Pac gets by Hatton. That's the other reason to it.

            I would rather see him in with a good, but not great fighter that is around 149+ by fight-time on his return and then fight Mosley since I doubt he would take 2-3 tune-ups before facing an elite fighter which might be the best thing to do...although at his age and health, maybe it isn't. He knows better than me; it's his body and mind.

            I'm more in favor of a Cotto and/or Mosley matchup than the rest but the Biggest Fight is probably Pac which is also good for the sport as far as attracting the casual fan and press world-wide.

              A guy coming off a 1 and a half lay off should fight a guy who is a MW fight night in his first fight back

                because he wont fight WWs first of all.

                And the fact that Mosley, still have enough to beat him.

                Floyd will waut till mid next year, when Mosley will be older and maybe rusty, and then Maybe he would fight hm!!!!!!!!!1

                  So why didn't Mosley fight him when he was active?
