Reason for Floyd's silence?

[IknowAll]

How can floyd be waiting for the winner of the mosley-berto fight? Berto is a HAymon fighter right? And this is the reason why he can't fight williams. So if anything, he's just waiting to see if mosley still has it or not, and probably wishing mosley pulls it off.

thats so ******.. at least arum let his top fighters go at it, eg. cotto vs pac

[Amazinger]

well I imagine people are thinking he's trying to keep some time open for a possible match-up with Pac. If he fought Cintron in March, then he fought Mosley or Berto in Aug/Sept then the PAc fight wouldn't happen til next year.

Or they will announce the fighter 6 weeks before the fight so that whoever it is is not fully prepared for the fight.

Im with Dominicano. Again, why cant Floyd do both? He shouldnt wait for Mosley-Berto. He should fight someone like Cintron and then fight the Mosley-Berto winner. I dont understand why people keep saying it like he cant do both. I just dont get that

I hope he does just that. Fight CIntron on 3/13 with a good undercard that would easily beat Pac/Clottey. Then face the Mosley-Berto winner sometime in July and the ultimate megafight with Pac in November. Floyds team doesn't have time to wait for Mosley/Berto if they wanna keep that 3/13 date.

Pac will go do his Political thing after Clottey and then face the garbage Yuri if he beats Cotto(no chance) or face Antonio Margarito because he is the last WW in the Top Rank stable Manny hasn't faced.

I dont think HBO is going to let Floyd fight in March, e****ally not on the 13th. They dont want to have there 2 biggest PPV stars fighting on the same date or even the same month.

As for the Pac fight, I think it could happend in November or December. People are crazy if they think that Pac would fight Floyd in September. I always bring up the argument that if they had fought on March 13th then it would be a very active Pac going up against a Floyd who has only had 1 fight in 2 and a half years or 2 fights in 3 years. If the roles were reversed then no one would think Pac had any chance. No way Pac is going to have only 1 fight in 2 and a half years or 2 fights in 3 years and beat an active Floyd. He would get his ass tore up and even Pac fans know that.

Thats why I said that Roach & Arum are super crazy for not letting that fight go down. Even when Floyd was retired, both of them said that they want to make Floyd wait until he's super rusty and fight Pac in his 1st fight back but Floyd didnt do that. He fought JMM. Now they let the March date slip away. Now the next time they fight Floyd, he will be 100% back, very active, and on the top of his game. He will be 10x harder to beat than he wouldve been in March and they will realize that.

Thats why I say that I bet anything that Pac wont come back and go straight to Floyd. I think he will fight Foreman at 154 for that 8th title and then he will meet Floyd in either November or December after Floyd has fought in early April and late July. Pac is also going to be facing a guy who may have just fought 2 super big strong WWs when this Floyd hadnt hardly fought any and is coming off a fight against a smaller JMM. Pac's team will regret passing that **** up if they meet later because Floyd will be alot better the next time around

I'd imagine GB will go with Mayweather's ppv, considering they already announced the opponent for Pac and they haven't jumped on it.

I don't even know why Floyd is #2 in the Pound-for-pound list ?!!

He's been a welterweight for few years now and he doesn't have any of the elite welters on his resume (no Williams, Margo, Cotto, Mosley, Collazo, Cintron, Berto, and now not even Pacquiao)

He's had JMM (a lightweight) and Hatton (a junior welter) as his last two fights at welterweight!

Is this pound-for-pound stuff ???

[B u r n e r]

he's still figuring out how he missed that $40mil payday

"they" missed....pac AND Floyd are thinking that.

[Chuckguy]

In order for FLoyd to beat either Mosley or Pac he needs to stay active
Although he looks razor sharp against JMM he needs more of a threat
he needs to fight in March or April and then fight SSM in Oct/Sep if Mosley wins.
nothing wrong with that

I still think there are secret negotiations going on and the pac fight is going to be signed by Tuesday
Clottey will get step aside money or maybe nothing because he isnt the number 1 contender.
