RETIRE ON TOP!!

Let's try to eliminate them one-by-one.

He's not going to retire. We all know that.
He's not fighting Santos, no money in that.
He's not fighting Pac, since Pacquiao is fighting Hatton in May and is therefore not available until late '09.
Paul Williams is fighting Winky in April at 160, so he's not available for a while either.
I think Berto's handlers will put him in against an easy opponent next after the tough fight with Collazo, so he's not an option.
He's not going to rematch Margarito, this fight was WAY too one-sided. If you're Margarito, you'd rather just rematch Cotto.
Clottey is a good fighter who brings no money or fans, so he's doubtful.
Forrest doesn't bring much money and we already know he's a terrible style matchup for Shane.

So really... there's 2 legit options. A rematch with Cotto (contingent on the Cotto-Margarito rematch not happening) or a fight with Floyd.
I think you are right about Floyd!

Winner Pacquiao/Hatton vs Winner Mosley/Mayweather
I agree with this good post breakdown. PBF is written all over Shane's next fight. PBF always wanted to fight Shane when they were at 130 and 135 respectively but PBF wasn't the direction Shane wanted at the time. Now, that Shane is the man and of course PBF was the man this should be a given. Looking how Shane looked, this fight makes me salivate...even though PBF should win 8-4. But he may be forced to fight the fight similar to how Diego Corrales made him. Shane throws a lot into his punches and is very good in the clinches. Man, he looked so youthful again.
