Mayweather is done!!!!
Floyd aint coming back, he has been out of the ring since December 2007 and he is 31 years old...... he has been inactive all that time and if he were to come back it would probably be without a tune up fight and thier would surely be ring rust. Who knows if he is 31 he might have lost a step aswell add this to his bad hands and he is as good as done
Does anyone not just think Mayweather is resting his hands till a promoter comes up with a mega mega rich fight offer? I think his mind set is there is'nt really anyone worth fighting (risk takeing wise) that he needs to fight unless its super bucks. I think It might be Manny in 2010 if he beats Hatton, nobody else really, he won't fight Hatton again
he landed a check left hook against hatton, and this was floyd, not at his best. that goes to show you just how skillful he is, and he can still beat the top guys in his weight class, even out of his prime. floyd is the most fluent fighter of the last 4 decades. he is that good. he will hurt pacman also.
lol wtf??? where'd this floyd is past his prime stuff coming from?
People forget Leonard got put on his ass by Kevin Howard before the Hagler fight...... and Howard was in the fight untill Ray caught up with him. Leonard did understimate Howard but it was Ray's timeing that was awful more than anything.
and lets not forget Hagler was no spring chicken either its not like Ray, nor Hagler were in their prime, Hagler had a tough fight with the hard punching Juan Roldan, then he beat Hamsho a guy he waxed with ease years ealier then came his wars with Hearns,Mugabi then he fought Leonard.
Majority of Floyds potential oponents are in their primes close to it....or they are active fighters that fight regularly.....so for me the Leonard v Hagler scenario is not compatible

lol.. he just retired Jun 08
ring rust? lmao... r u serious
ur ring rust doesnt start when u retire, it starts the day after ur last fight... aka december 9th 2007... if the fight gets made he ll be off for 18 months..
He hasn't fought great physically, with all his tools, since Gatti. Which is why I don't enjoy watching him fight. He is frustrating.

That fight always annoys Hulk. How many welters would have destroyed that Gatti that night.
Clottey, Margherito, Cotto and Williams would possibly have actually killed him.
Floyd is great.
Many fighters could have looked great against Gatti that night.
It's not what was in front of him, but what he was doing as far as his arsenal.
When did he start to fight as well?

What did Freddie say; what did Floyd Sr. say.
I still haven't found which episode it was, but it was on ESPN...I think Ringside, when one of the Old Timers made a point: A fighter should have a fight at least every 3 months or he risks ring-rust...declining...whatever you want to call it. A fighter must fight and stay sharp.
Listen to MiKE TYSON:
Start at .50 and pay attention to 1:42
Don King was known for messing up fighters because he kept them inactive.
and:
Mike was a very active HW with Rooney/Cayton. With King...from Spinks to Bruno; about 8 months.
Ive seen almost all of Floyd Mayweathers fights and ive seen him look much better than that
I think it was an average display even the casual fans that have never seen Floyd before were like i dont know what the fuss was about sure he is good but.
I agree though I thought the Hatton was one of his best in many years. Still, the signs of slipping are when it takes a little longer to warm up in a fight and Floyd has been exhibiting that more and more.

this guy must have been punched in the head to many times. floyd is far from done, his p4p crown is there waiting for him to come pick it back up as soon as he wants. floyd stays in the gym, he pretty much lives in it, he always stays sharp and in good shape, maybe not fighting sharp or fighting shape but nothing a camp cant do. if he comes back im sure you will be eating your words :chairshot
Nah Terrible he be back man ESPECIALLY if Hatton beats Pac - Huge money over a fighter he knows he can beat!
Guy looked at his best last time out, Great fighters come back without tune ups and are as good as ever im thinking of Tito vs Mayorga and Tszyu vs Mitchell, anyway he may well have a tune up.
Floyds rich as shit but the guy likes to splurge and to gamble he could always use another 10 mill!
He didn't look at his best; when did he start to fight and how was he fighting...compare it with the Chico fight and many others.
People need to get over KO.
If Hatton would have taken the fight when it was supposed to happen, Floyd would have made Hatton exactly what Floyd Sr. said: Gatti 2.
This over-cautious mentality he has now is ruining him.
This is basically my point in a nutshell.
It's been said already...I said it and I'm sure others have said it.
I also said: Right now it is starting to remind me of Ray Leonard.
Inactivity kills. And I also said he was a declined fighter; at least mentally. It's possible to get that back but he has to "want" it. Physically, I'm not sure. He hasn't fought great physically, with all his tools, since Gatti. Which is why I don't enjoy watching him fight. He is frustrating.
I compared him to Hopkins at 36+ and Roy in his 30's at LH when he changed as a fighter.
It sucks...as fan, it's not good.
It's also why I said Pac should retire within the next two years.
I'm not big on seeing fighters fall of the cliff even though I do think most enjoy it in some way...it ends the show. I understand it, but at this point, right now; it's not for me.
I was glad he retired and don't want to see him back unless, he gets his ass in gear, which I did say Floyd Sr. could possibly do that...and, he has to get in shape right now...possibly have a tune-up which is shaky for me because of Leonard, and see where he is at.
Don't fight long; one fight, Pac; and your out. It's just to clean up the mess.

floyd didnt look as sharp because of the style fighter hatton is... a mauling come forward suffocating type of fighter... your not going to look as pretty as you did fighting baldomir than you are fighting hatton... its just the way it is..
