I understand that reasoning. Kinda like Mayweather/Manfredy in '98.

I just believe that they have the opportunity to build these guys up for a short while and let them create their own islands. After Floyd is gone, there's gonna be a huge void to fill. The 147lb 'ers are not as dominantly deep as people think either.
