FLOYD: "...OSCAR my last fight..."

[bulit7]

i dont think he will...no one in their right state of mind would retire in their prime..probably take a break n then come back again

[Mishra100]

Why is it that nobody has an intellectual argument for his "non-retirement."

Let's have some supporting facts, and dot connecting..

Why would he go back on his word - because other fighters do?

Why won't he walk away? Why?

The money, spotlight, and thrill are reasons - but that didn't stop Hagler.

That didn't stop BARRY SANDERS.

Why?

Because money talks. Because people are addicted to money, especially when they have had it before. Because money=power.

Mayweather will feel the need to make more money in the future guarenteed. Especially when he flaunts his money around so much, you can tell he loves it.

PBF is not close to Duran yet.
Duran faced and beat SRL.
Who is PBF's SRL? Seriously.
Duran chose to fight people who he should never have been in the ring with.
Duran had HUGE HAIRY TESTICLES and PBF while slick and talented has not faced the level of challenges that other top P4Pers have.
He could get in the mix for top ten as DLH is a step in the right direction but it is nowhere near the culmination of a stellar career. If he doesn't stretch himself against some of the bigger challenges after DLH he won't make it IMO.
I don't care about the zero. Valuev has a zero. I don't care if he wins or loses. He just has to fight more matches as potentially challenging as DLH could be.

That's not a fully complete response to what I stated.

"Money" is the simple answer, and I think it's a pretty good one.

Mayweather hasn't earned 200M like DLH supposedly has.. That's for sure.

[stateboxer]

I think that if he looses he will want a rematch, with DLH. Then he will realize that he has to fight Cotto, Mosley, and Hatton and win in very convincing fashion to be able to regain his spotlight of the best P4P fighter in the world.

n

cant really see him retiring either way and please god for boxings sake he dont cos he's the best.also i never understand the way people say pbf wouldnt of holding his own with the likes of srl,duran and hagler can anyone onhestly say he not as good if not better boxer then them......my two cents

[bigtime9]

Duran had HUGE HAIRY TESTICLES and PBF while slick and talented has not faced the level of challenges that other top P4Pers have.

that's why he quit i the middle of the ring

[Dorian]

i'm not sure it depends on the outcome of the fight

[Addison]

i'm not sure it depends on the outcome of the fight

What's your theory?

[miron_lang]

he's already surpassed duran in my book. A victory over hoya would place him top 5 ATG. personally I would have him right behind ray robinson.

OMG!!!

Whattabook that is
