    Isn't it Vernon Forrest? Kind of an interesting matchup.

    Floyd will go up to 160 and take on the winner of Hopkins/Wright.:clap:

    No I think it's Sergio Martinez the guy who fought on Telefutura a few weeks ago. They were mentioning it was for the #1 slot for the WBC

    even if neither fighter is going to fight at 160 in their next fight?

    had you said the winner of Taylor Spinks I could see it but no way he fights Winky or BHop

    i dont think he would try to fight taylor, hes just too powerfull, he would probly do better against winky, even blocking taylors punches is going to be too much for floyd to handle

    Floyd has NO BUSINESS at 154lbs let alone 160! He's a converted Lightweight!

    Taylor, Hopkins would crucify him! Wright would be too strong also.

    Floyd cannot beat a middleweight. He's just too small. He almost lost the fight with Oscar because he had to be so defensive. What is he going to do with a middleweight?

    seriously, has anyone heard if Floyd plans to fight? I didn't get to see any post fight interviews. I haven't heard anything or seen anything written.

    When was the last time Floyd held a belt for long enough to fight a mandatory? Won't happen.

    Speaking of 147... why was Floyd introduced all weekend as the former Welterweight Champion? When did he vacate that title? :dunno:
