    Article: "Floyd to pursue tune-up against Malignaggi if he avoids jail sentence"

    excerpts from an article by Jeff Powell from a British newspaper (dated Nov 9, 2010)

    Whether such a victory will bring the $200million mega-fight with Mayweather any closer is another matter.

    Floyd Jnr - assuming he avoids a jail sentence at an imminent assault and larceny trial - is said to be considering a warm-up against Pauli Malignaggi, Khan's most recent victim.

    But he has still not responded to Pacquiao offering to waive any and all limitations on blood testing.

    Perhaps Mayweather is hoping that the arch-rival he resents being acknowledged as the pound-for-pound king is finally over-reaching himself by going up to light-middleweight and that Margarito will derail him.
    While Britain works itself into a frenzy about two Londoners fighting in Manchester, the attention of the rest of the boxing universe is concentrated on a Filipino in Dallas.

          I'll believe that tune up when I see it. Mayweather has been rumored to fight Malignaggi and Matthew Hatton by way of Shane Mosley for about two years now.

            He will def fight a tune up fight IMO. He's just way too inactive to chase a big name off the bat. Just not sure whether that will be Malignaggi.

                    And if he doesn't avoid it he can still use Paulie as a warm-up for jail. Win-win!
