Is going to be a hot summer. Just chill, relax and see how everything plays out. No need to take every single comment and run with it.

Floud announced his retirement? :lol1: Sounded more like me he was avoiding discussing potential bouts...

Who knows. I think he wanted to talk about the kid from make a wish and not boxing though. He didn't want to talk about potential fights and he accomplished that.

lets see 1) he doesnt care about his legacy, he said it not me 2) all he cares about is money, he said it and not me 3) he doesnt wanna face pacquiao and get a beating so if you look at it closely, he doesnt need the fight with pac from a $$$ point of view especially since he has made 2 million ppv buys and had the lion share of both in his last two fights he probably saw it like this, how can i duck myway out of this fight? well why not just come out and say it? he knows hes gonna get hell but i bet deep down he would rather have all the hate in the world than have a severe pac beat down and that he can live with that ITS REALLY THAT SIMPLE this dude gonna walk around and he knows people will see him as a ducker/pussy all he can do now is HOPE it will go away and cross his fingers but we boxing fans will make him pay for it:You_Rock_ That is right if he really go ahead and retire or rest for a year.We as boxing fans should not let him get away with it. It does'nt matter if he's just bitter or want to be on the news as big as Pacquiao.

I give him credit for winning, but the facts are the facts. It's becoming too much of a coincidence that whenever a division gets heated (WW division circa 2007-2009) or a particular fighter in his prime calls out Floyd (Margarito/Cotto), Floyd takes a break. There's a pattern here. This retirement thing is no coincidence. let's just wait and see, if he really retires or it's bluff.

all of you pac fans said before the fight even get signed that floyd would never ever fight shane mosley, and if the fight gets signed and he wins mosley, you will give him the credit for this, but like floyd said before the fight " when i will beat shane all the haters would say that he was over the hill and he is old and etc". i just want you to be objective, i respect manny as a fighter he is a great fighter, floyd is great boxer. i would like to see this match up. believe me no one scares of no one, they are elite fighters and all that matters here is MONEY.

To steal Pacman's thunder!! Convenient is'nt it to announce it when Pacman is going to receive his "Fighter of the decade award. I think he will wait for the Cotto/Foreman fight and recant his statement,depending on who's going to win.:boxing: But I still think and hope he will go back to the table and negotiate. Otherwise he will be villified and called names such as "ducker" "coward" "chicken" by boxing fans thru his life if he does. He hasn't officially announced anything yet really... he was just asked a question on an interview and said that he might take a couple of years off or whatever. They asked and he answered... nothing else to it really.

All he cares about is keeping his 0. the zero itself is his legacy. the zero itself is his money.

That's what I was thinking,"Something fishy here".The sincerity of it doubtful. Either Floyd Mayweather is BITTER or just want to steal Pacquiao's thunder. i think so too, but we can't be sure only he and god knows what's going in his head.

Fighting Shane at 38 years old is a lot safer than fighting Shane at 32-34 years old. Old, Over-trained, Ring rusted. I'd say he made a safe bet. all of you pac fans said before the fight even get signed that floyd would never ever fight shane mosley, and if the fight gets signed and he wins mosley, you will give him the credit for this, but like floyd said before the fight " when i will beat shane all the haters would say that he was over the hill and he is old and etc". i just want you to be objective, i respect manny as a fighter he is a great fighter, floyd is great boxer. i would like to see this match up. believe me no one scares of no one, they are elite fighters and all that matters here is MONEY.

if he was thinking not to lose his 0, he wouldn't fight shane. there is something different in this case, i don't know why he said this, maybe he lies to draw the attention of media to him in light of pacquaio recieving his award, i don't know but something fishy here.

Floyd doesn't care about the fans or his legacy. He doesn't even care about making 40million with Pac.
