nah.
I have a boatload of fighters to follow once Floyd retires.
I'm a fan of Floyd, but no fanboy that follows boxing solely because of him...

I think he always wanted to fight Margarito again though and that's the reason he stayed.

Well there aren't many American boxing superstars out there. Hopkins....but he's on the verge of retiring, Adrien Broner has potential, Andre Ward is coming up but don't see him getting Mayweather publicity. I mean Mayweather's a character, he talks a lot of stuff and in the ring he does a lot of stuff. Wouldn't say though that his performances talk louder then his mouth.

Originally posted by Mr. President View PostThis doesnt go for everyone on this site, but certainly the majority of you. There really isnt any other exciting fighters out there currently at the moment, and without Floyd being involved in this sport boxing would be incredibly bland right now.
For starts, the outstanding majority of you wouldnt check the latest news or frequent this site nearly as much (as evidenced by the fact that even Floyd's "haters" spend more time talking about him then they do about their own alleged favorite fighters). That's because there arent any fighters out there right now who can match his skill level or ability to create interest in the sport.
It should also be noted that if he decided to retire, PPV revenue would plummet to unseen lows. And to those of you who are gonna use the "Manny 'I have other people make my decisions for me' Pacquiao is still a big draw" card, the fact is that the reason he has so much hype behind him is because people are intrigued to see him fight Floyd. If you take Mayweather out of the equation, the interest in Pacquiao fades out.
I'm not saying that without him the sport would die out permanantly, because although no other fighter would be able to fill his shows right now (as far as boxing ability, camera savviness, and creating headlines goes), there will be others who will eventually rise to the top. But given boxings current state, and current crop of fighters out there right now, we're all incredibly lucky to have a fighter like Money Mayweather running the show. Without him this sport would be hurting worse than most of you probably care to admit.

I'm not trying to be an anti-Mayweatherite, it's just that the Mayweather crazies write such foolish posts adoring him that I have to comment. I do the same with MannyP maniacs, but not as often since they are not as extreme as the Mayweather crazies.
He might have lost to Stevie Johnson and a few others I can't recall rright now.?? Why didn't he go up to fight Shane Mosley in 1999, he was killing himself to make the weight like Corrales was, which was the sort of advantage he loves??Last edited by edgarg; 03-28-2012, 04:43 PM.
