nothing's guaranteed
but typically floyd does not speak about these things publicly
it's usually ellerbee, roger/floyd sr, or schaefer
and i can't think of an instance where floyd ever disputed anything they put out there
it's pretty safe to assume they accurately represent his feelings
that being said i think alot of times his camp puts this type of shit out there just to gauge fan reaction
remember when they proposed canelo as an opponent at age 19 and ppl laughed it off. they did something else
they proposed guerrero a couple yrs ago and it got laughed off so they waited until he moved up and won a title before making the fight
and then the devon alexander thing....
think they are just trying see how bad a PR move this would be before going full steam into any negotiation
