    Longer Delay = Worse For Floyd

    The longer it is between Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting, the worse it is for Floyd.

    Who does Floyd fight, if not Pacquiao in March or May? This is a difficult situation for him, because if he takes easy fights, it means fighting average fighters, and since they probably won't do great in terms of PPV numbers, it won't do him any favors when it comes to negotiating. On top of that, he will lose respect for taking easy fights.

    If he takes tough challenges, such as Mosley, Williams, etc., he is risking his 0, which, should it happen, puts him at an even greater disadvantage when it comes to negotiating with Pacquiao.

    But if he were to beat Mosley, it would change this situation completely. So, is the next logical step to fight Shane? And how likely is it to happen, in your opinion, assuming there is no Pacquiao fight until later in the year?

    In my opinion, there is absolutely no question -- he needs to fight Shane in the first half of 2010. One last snag -- Shane needs to get past Berto. I think Mosley wins that fight unless he's slipped due to age and relatively low activity, but Berto can't be counted out.

          Don't ever daydream. Floyd has been at 147 pound Division for almost 5 years now and his best achievement is beating Baldomir!

          Floyd is a Big time Coward. Time for him to retire!

            Pacquiao doesn't want to fight in March or May, he wants to fight in September. Floyd will have to fight someone else.

                  Yeah, I also believe that. So who should he fight, Kev?

                    If the fight is delayed until the summer I think it would be in Mayweather's best interest to take an in between fight just to stay sharp. I also think the perfect and safest in between fight is

                    Mayweather/Judah II


                    It will sell a little bit because of the past drama. People will tune in because they know Zab has a chance in the first 3 or 4 rounds. Zab being a soutpaw will help to get ready for Pac. Mayweather easily wins the fight without risking the 0.
