Does Anyone Here Believe That Floyd Will Retire After Fighting DLH?

[Hydro]

if he beats dlh, floyd may retire coz he has a huge ego, for starters, floyd believes he's greater than SRR, and he knows he doesnt get any appreciation from the boxing community and acts like a small kid, ever noticed how he doesnt take hatton, cotto or margarito's challenges seriously.

how is he supposed to fight hatton when hatton's team says they aren't ready, they want hatton to get some real exposure in the states?

top rank doesn't want to put cotto in there with floyd. i don't think cotto is scared, but his management doesn't want it.

I find it hard to believe because of his age, but who knows. If I had to bet on it, I would bet that he will fight after May 5th at some point...

You should have made this a poll, & no I don't think he's retiring.

It was quite some time ago that Hatton said he wasnt ready wasnt it? Has anyone asked him if hes ready now? But no i dont think PBF will retire and i dont want him to retire.
There is Cotto there, Margarito, and a trilogy with Hatton before he should retire really. Lets say Hatton beats PBF in the first match. PBF would like revenge obviously, and then PBF can attempt to make it 2-1 in his favour.

No, he won't retire. He still needs to destroy Margarito's slow overrated ass.

I dont think he will. Boxing is too hard to get out of. When you fight you may hate it. Hate the work hate the fact that you arent as good as u used to be. Hate the fact that your getting older hate the fact you have too be away for your family for so long but once you leave it...you almost instantaniously miss it. Floyed wont retire no way in hell

[hugh grant]

I agree. What will he do if he doesnt box. He will have too much time on his hands.

after this fight...win or lose..1 or the other will want a rematch...then PBF will pull a bernard hopkins...make fights that make sense/cents

[Drunken Cat]

I actually kinda have a feeling that it is just a ploy, think about it. How many more people do you think are going to come out for this fight to see Floyed in whats not only the biggest, but also "the last fight of his carreer?" I mean, I know DLH is the real attraction, but I think that the "retirement" aspect adds conciderably to the promotion, and should account for some of the high cost of watching this fight. Plus, after his "retirement," Floyed will be able to pull the old "yeah I'll fight again, but only if the money is right" line. I think this is why most boxing experts arent taking the retirement talk to seriously, that and the fact that he still has big fights left to be made.

Ofcourse, I could be wrong, he might just take his 8 figure payday and walk. I guess time will tell.

it would take some kind of will power to turn down an oppurtunity to become the greatest ever... but whatever...

[Jazzy Paul]

He won't retire.

Don't believe it for a second, anymore than I believe he is the greatest fighter ever.

He may well believe it himself but when all is said and done, PBF will fight again after May 5th.
