Its all playing out to me like I said it would. Floyd came back and took the JMM fight. The new article basicaly twist Floyd's words and everyone jumps on it. The new article sayst that Floyd isnt going to wait for Pac-Cotto but if you read the article then it says that his next fight could still be Pac-Cotto. Basicaly Floyd is just sayign the same thing that he always has said which is the same thing that Roach has said. They want to act like they dont need eachother. I dont understand why its that hard for people to see. Thats all it is. The both are trying to say that they have other options. Floyd is not going to say that he's waiting on the Pac-Cotto fight because that lets everyone know what he wants to do and it hurts him in negotations. Instead he's going to act like he's not chasing the fight.
The bottom line is that if Pac wins then both sides will try to make the fight. The fight will be called off a time or 2 because Arum & Floyd wont be happy with the deal and they will act like there going to fight someone else when in reality we know that they only want eachother. Then the fight will be made so stop complaining.
However, if Cotto wins then things change. Everyone is going to rip Floyd if he doesnt jump to fight Cotto or Shane but Ive said even before his comeback that he shouldnt do that. He would be a fool to sit out for 2 years, fight a smaller JMM and then immediatly fight big physical monsters like Shane or Cotto. It would be a complete shock to his system. He could lose striclty because of that. You cant go straight from a JMM fight to a Mosley or Cotto fight with guys who are going to be much bigger, stronger, and powerful than Juan. You are just setting yourself up to fail. If Cotto wins then I think Floyd tries to fight either Berto, Collazo, or Clottey. Then he will fight Cotto or Mosley. I pick Berto & Collazo because physicaly it wont be a shock to Floyd's system. I know people will say that Clottey will never happened but I see it as possible strictly because of Clottey's style. It wouldnt physicaly be a shock to Floyd's system and he could fight him in Michigan if he wanted.
Honestly, even if Floyd beats Pac next, I could see him having a tuneup before a Mosley fight. He might not because Pac could possibly prepare him physicaly but he might not. Either way you cant rip the man for not wanting to go straight from JMM to a Mosley or Cotto fight. That would be dumb. You have to build up to that with 1 more fight but it will be against a WW. If Pac wins then it will be against him
