What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

Now i know the title and the question of this thread actually dont match but i want to gage an idea of what we want as well as what we expect from the man the call PBF.

As you'll notice, ive allowed for two votes per person, if you should feel th eneed to.

And also... Please, as ever, feel free to discuss 8)

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

He should first of all beat Baldomir, then I would really like to see him fight Mosley at 147....

After that is too far down the line for me to even contemplate...it all depends on how things evolve...

I would still love a dream fight against Hatton, but I just feel that this has passed us all by now...

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

I personally think someone actually needs to start fknocking people out and establish them selves as the man of the division.

Becasue right now PBF is getting away with a status that half of us aren't even too sure he should be entrusted with.

There isnt any1 that he HAS to fight, although that can be changed should Cotto/ Margarito and Co make the most of thier situations.

Beat Baldo,beat a threat at 147,fight Oscar at 154 maybe? After that,come back to 147 and to really prove he is 1 of the best of all time,take on the big names/threats,Hatton,Cotto,Tony etc etc beat them and he is one of the best ever. However,I don't know if that will happen. He will take the fights which make the most $$$ regardless of who it is.

I'm sorta along the same lines as you El Gamo, take care of Baldomir, then DLH @ 154 or a catch weight, hopefully by then Margarito has matched with either the winner of Cotto/ Quintana or Mosley that should be his next opponent. By then Hatton may be ready to step back up to 147. For me Floyds future lies somewhere between 147 & 154!

Im pretty sure Floyd will beat Baldi then look to step up and win a belt at junior middle.

I don't care about the belts but the only fights I wanna see at 154 are DLH & Mosley

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

What he needs to do is clear out a division....has he ever really done that??? I know at 130 and 135 he did really well but did he "clear out" all the true contenders?

at 147 here's who he needs to beat
Baldomir
Mosley
Margarito
Cotto
Hatton
Williams

That's all I would need to see there

at 140
Hatton
Cotto
Witter
Urango
Harris
Demitrius Hopkins (a HOPKINS would be good to add to his resume)

at 154
De la Hoya
Mosley
Wright
Spinks
Karmazin

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

i think and hope he looks for superfights in and around 147 before he retires.
pretty much fight oscar, and maybe winky and then if he wants to go back to 147 hes quite welcome too
lol peace

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

I'd love to see Floyd face DLH, Mosley, Cotto, Hatton & Margarito. Hopefully some of these guys will face each other as well sort of a round robin.

yeh totally agree... but only problem bieng
dlh doesnt plan on having many more if anymore atall more fights..(did i say that right?) lol
hatton said the only fight he will move up for is mayweather and i sincerely believe that fight will happen in the future!
and if these fighters were to face eachother... even if and four or so great fighters around the mid divisions were to face eachother like hearns hagler leonard and duran did it would be incredible
certainly the above fighters would make history with that list of fights!!
peace

Well it work something like this:

Floyd fights DLH after Baldomir
Margarito/ Clottey winner faces Cotto/ Quintana winner

Floyd then takes on Hatton
Margarito/ Clottey winner faces Mosley

Winners face each other

Re: What Floyd should do with the remainder of his Carrer.

I think that he would move up and try to seccure a tittle in a fith weight class, because thats all he seems to be interrested in doing. I think that he has won enough tittles in enough weight classes for now and he needs to start deffending his tittles agaisnt all comers or atleast going after some unification bouts. Im tired of seeing him fight all these paper champions that aint even on his level. If he wants to establish himself as an all time great he needs to stand his ground like Lyle said and clean out a divission.
