Thread: PBF speaks out on his future

Well, based on this article, it seems that Floyd wants Shane then ODLH. If he takies out both, that will stop all the haters in their tracks. Hell, even picking just one of the two would be good for him. But by all indications, he's not taking the Margarito offer. Take teh article for what its worth

Shane then Oscar ? If he wins those then il be a believer even if theye are both past their prime.

Those are the fights he needs instead of Gatti, Mitchel , Brussles etc

well annoying to me he is taking the old and past prime (ODLH , Mosely) rather than the Young and Hungry Margarito and hatton

He should take these two then finish his career with either Hatton or Margarito then if he wins all 3 he will go down as a great.

Those two would be good fights for him to take, he should fight Hatton first then DLH or Mosley

why cant he fight em all, shane , odLh hatton and margarito ?
james toney fought all comers, if your a prper fighter you wont be thinking about retirement, they will fight anyone in da house.

What's even more annoying to me is that people constantly say that he doesn't want the Hatton fight. HATTON HAS BEEN DUCKING FLOYD SINCE THE GATTI FIGHT, EVERYONE KNOWS IT, HATTON SAID HE WON'T BE READY UNTIL 2007!!!

Yes, I believe Floyd has time to face all of his challengers and it's not impossible to say that he can and will beat them all. Shane and ODLH are great even at this stage and pose a huge threatt to PBF's 0 Loss. I don't think Tony and Ricky are up to Floyd's at the moment. Ricky may improve and Tony may still(but not that much). I aint a big PBF fan but I understand the level of his skill is far more superior than these 2. Shane had that, Oscar too but at this stage of their careers, the edge that they will have are their experience.

I would rather see him fight the big three (Hatton, Cotto, Margarito) instead of these two. I can see the reason he would want to fight Oscar ($$$$) but can not see why he would want to fight Mosley. It was Shane's first solid performance in over 4 years but it came against a boxer who was far beyond his prime. Wanting to fight Shane is useless. PBF theory on Tony is that it's a lose-lose situation, if he beats Tony people will say that fighter is overhyped and it was a suspect victory and if he loses people will say the same thing about him, well if he believes that he should understand that people would say the same thing fighting Mosley. Let's bring in the new generation and build the careers of the new superstars. Mosley is the past and the big three are the future.

Yeah! I forgot Cotto, Man! But let us not forget, ODLH and Shane were once at the top of the P4P rankings and for Floyd to take these names would be legendary on his resume. Floyd has a lot of time to fight the big three that you mentioned, but the chance to take on these two legends. The clock is ticking my friend and it would be one of the greatest opportunities that Floyd would pass. Man, he can take Tony at 2007/2008 while he's still good, Ricky until later as well as Cotto and it would still produce fireworks, provided Floyd beats Shane and Oscar.

Question. Wouldnt you wanna see Oscar/Floyd or Shane/Floyd while you still can, a few years later would not be good so I am saying that the timing that PBF wants them both is really impecable.

I dont think Cotto , Hatton and Margarito stand the same chance as Oscar and Shane of beating Floyd (maybe Cotto does .

Oscra and Shane have the world class experience and have been knocking out big lightmiddleweights . Floyd cant even stun a chinny light welter . Also Oscar and Shane are great technical boxers with speed . Floyd got a gift decison and couldnt dominate a basic fighter like Castillo in the 1st fight down at lightweight

It doesnt matter what PBF does he wont get the respect he wants. IF he shows up Shane and ODLH then everybody says that it was one fight to many, weight drained, whatever the excuse will be. I am starting to feel that PBF needs to unify or two and just rule that domain. I think he could easily jump between 140 and 147 and rule those. Floyd wants a legacy, how much greater would his legacy be if he could do something like that?

I would love to see Oscar Vs Floyd, I was hoping it would go down in September but we all know what happened with that. As far as Shane I have my doubts, before the fight people on this thread were not excited at all to ever see Shane fight again yet alone a top ten fighter. Now after this performance people are jumping back on the Sugar Shane band wagon, I don't buy it because it came against a fighter who looked like it hurt him just to throw a punch, Vargas looked like a journeymen fighter looking to pay his bills. But money talks and bullshit walks, If Floyd can get a big payday to knock that guy out why not? CC

The more i read about PBF, the less i think of him.
