    Yep. My thoughts exactly...especially since there is no big fight for him at 147 any time soon since Mosley won't fight him and Cotto will probably be occupied with Pacquiao.

    (this is re: Paul Williams fighting at 147, by the way, please don't just read this and think I'm talking about Floyd).

      True, I hear is calling out 168lbs fighters. If he fights one and wins no welters are going near him.

            I agree with you guys, I doubt any 147 pounder will want to fight Williams and Mayweather fighting him is a looooooooooong shot but I can hope.

              Paul is too big for any Welter, Floyd won't fight him

                I doubt he will either. I remember Roger saying the only fighter that would trouble Floyd is Paul Williams.

                  I know it won't happen but if Floyd beats JMM, Pac, Mosley, Cotto and Williams he's a top 10 ATG and the greatest fighter since Leonard...by far

                    Yep Floyd would beat any fighter from 135 - 154...except Williams

                      Sad but true.
