floyd wants the 154 lb belt.......he already has a belt at 147

hes gonna jump to 154 to take spinks's title making him the 1st fighter EVER to win 5 world championships in 5 different weight classes before he turns 3o (feb 24 2007)
so he doesnt have a lot of time left

how do you figure he doesnt fight good opponents??

look at who he has fought........ keep in mind that before he fights most of these guys, the critics start saying that this is the guy whos gonna beat floyd

then they fight, and when its all over floyd made them look SO bad that these same critics are the ones who turn around and say "oh well he was nobody to begin with"

theres two things that matter to floyd:
1) money$$$
2) his legacy

fighting margarito would bring him a lot of money, but do nothing for his legacy


or he could fight spinks and make maybe 5-6 million, but also do something that NO OTHER fighter has EVER done.

see how that kinda works out
