Exactly. Let's see where Floyd tries to snake away to when those two results come up trumps. Fingers crossed that the pressure gets amped up and stacked upon him.
Who exactly has floyd shyed away from?

His last 3fights have all been against world champions and great fighters.

He took the oscar fight at 154 when he didnt need to. Chose to fight hatton over cotto and could quite easily of opted to make his return against someone he could retune his skills against ala:clottey, cintron etc
Of course he took the Oscar fight. There's not a boxer on the planet that wouldn't take an Oscar fight. People tend to not shy away from vaults of cash being dropped on their front porch. If by "didn't need to" you mean the weight well Oscar has the leverage in any negotiations, if Floyd wanted the fight and of course he did it was going to be at 154. He would have fought him at minimumweight, he would have signed the contract and googled efficient vomiting techniques. The the only reason Oscar fought Pac at 147 I assume is it would have liked silly otherwise, dude was too small.
