If he stays at welter and tries to unify, he will have options like Cotto, Baldo, Hatton, Williams...etc. If he beats all those people, then thats when i feel he should go up and go for Mosley. Floyd is still young and i feel he is doing the wrong thing if he goes up to light middle at this stage imo.
he gains nothing by beating Spinks. But the Baldomir fight will give him cred with everyone...
since when has PBF cared about having cred with other people? As long as everybody around him keeps telling him how great and wonderful he is he is not going to fight anybody that can give him credit. He will fight Spinks for his title then possibly Oscar in May. He wants those 5 belts in 5 weight divisions and Spinks is his only real chance.
