Why won't Floyd fight someone in his own weight division?

Mr boat buyer came back for Pac. If he don't get him, he'll walk again, assumin the JMM payday allows it. I only see him facin SSM or Cotto if Pac don't happen and he's desperate for $.

Back in December 2007, Floyd fought the light welterweight Ricky Hatton, and forced him to move up to 147 for the fight.

This year he fought a career featherweight, a great old fighter who had just moved up to lightweight. Floyd forced him to move up two weight divisions...

Who's next? Darchinyan? Calderon? Why won't Floyd fight another welterweight? Is he afraid of boxers his own size?

Why does he get smaller men to fight him in his weight division - isn't that a ***** move?

He has been back for one fight, give the guy a break.

Hatton wasn't ready for Floyd when both were at LWW, and when he was ready... Floyd had just beat DLH, it was down to Hatton to chase Floyd not the other way round.

Floyd has fought guys either the same size or bigger than him for most of his career, 2 guys smaller I can pick off the top of my head are JMM and Hatton... can't think of any others.

He should fight Mosley first. Waiting any longer would hurt Mosley, and ultimately, the credit he'd'receive for a win.

He has fought bigger men then him, Baldomir was bigger and the lineal champ.

I can see it already,"so what if Mosley called me out,he's lost five times,who has he beat,I made the #2 pfp look like a chump!!The world knows money may is better than Mosley,no one wants to see me whoop his ass!!That's why I'm fighting Valero,he's a ko artist but I'm gonna stop him at 146"!!

floyd doesn't fight fair... he won't fight anyone that he think has a chance to upset him... *****, jmm had no chance of winning and floyd still cheated him on the weigh in.
