    He should be able to win both fights..
    Taylor would probably be more money as Taylor just beat THE MAN!

    Now Mayweather is also the man skill-wise (notice the small letters) but he is not liked by many and would not be such a huge attraction..
    PBF - Gatti fight sold out on Gatti, not Mayweather

      If Winky is smart. He'll stay at 160.

      There is really only Vargas & Mayorga left @154 now that Ouma has lost. Vargas being the best scenario for Wright as he could avenge his loss. But Wright has already proved superiority at that weight & I don't see the point in stepping back down when he is so close to getting his shot at a far more prestigious title. The Undisputed middleweight champ.

      If Taylor beats Hopkins in the rematch, Wright would have to be next in line, meaning he could become undisputed champ at a second weight, quite a feat.
      Even in the event that Hopkins bounces back, If convincing enough, a third fight might not be warrented & Winky again would be the go to guy. You'd have to assume Wright would get a shot within a year.

      And even if Wright decided to return to 154, I really don't see why it would be for Floyd. He has so little to gain from such a fight. He wouldn't even make much money from it as neither guy is a draw. It just wouldn't make sense.

      Wright should stay a 160. Fight Felix Sturm, Ike Quartey or another top middleweight contender & then Try to get the Taylor/Hop winner.
