He should defend his 154 pound title or step down from it. It would be a full year since he last defended it and that was at a damn catch weight. If he fights a welterweight then the soonest he would defend his 154 pound title would be May 2015. That is 20 months between title defenses and that is unacceptable to the other top 154 pounders that deserve a title shot. You listed Lara as a possible opponent but if Lara loses to Canelo this July then he would not be in line for a Mayweather fight.

That's why I said IF Lara wins. I agree though that he should defend it or vacate it if he doesn't go back up since 2 years is way too damn long in between title defenses.
I think it depends on how much PPV revenue they generate in the Maidana fight. If less than 1M, I think they have no choice but to fight someone that will offset such loss similar to the Canelo fight after the slow Guerrero sales. Pac will be seriously considered now that Oscar is warming up to Arum. But of course the fight can only happen if Floyd wants to.

True that, I can see that happening. Floyd & Pac need to fight soon regardless.
