    Im sure if there was a 24/7 on every fighter before ever fight 10+ yrs into there career youd be hearing just as much complaining from them too!

      The Cotto fight must happen if he gets past Ricky Hatton. I don't see him calling it quits before that.

        I think this is the end of the line for PBF. He's been complaining too much and, after watching the 24/7 I really get a feeling he's calling it quits (again). He has nothing left to fight for, in his mind, at least. He won't fight Cotto, DLH won't fight him again, and he isn't interested in Williams, Cintron, or Mosley. Who else is out there?

        Nope, The Floyd Train has come to it's last stop. I still think he's going all at it with Hatton and isn't taking him lightly or training any less intensely, but I just don't think he really wants to continue in the game.

        Thoughts?
        Losing to Hatton is not in the equation. And the only meaningful fight at welterweight is Cotto, being that he has recently become the man to beat.

          Floyd will wait and hope that Cotto loses soon. That way he can write Cotto off as an unworthy challenger, and have an excuse not to face him.

            I thought it was only Cotto and Cintron/Williams winner but it may just be Cotto and than retirement. I actually think he might retire, Cotto will beat some of the other champs and than Floyd will fight him.

              i can see Mayweather retiring after this fight too, there is no need to carry on if his body is breaking down.

                Me too, that would be a great match up but PBF speed maybe the difference.

                    if Floyd wants to retire then **** it yo retire, what I don't want is a long ass deliberation about it, he has been talking about retirement for a long time, I think that with a win over Hatton he can bow out respectfully but if he chooses to do that then don't stall it, give up the belts and let the next breed fight for the titles..

                    I can't lie I would respect him more if he faced Cotto before he bounced because Cotto took out Mosley for him BUT as is I feel Cotto will win so being real about it that would be like asking Floyd to lose which is unfair, I been saying I would LOSE respect for him if he didn't face Miguel but that was ignorant of me, Floyd has done enough so that he will be great and he has a GOOD enough reason to walk away, he would leave no shame behind, of course he could better his legacy with a Cotto win but he wont beat Cotto so why fight him?

                    that will only chain him deeper into the game because then he will want a rematch and pride will take effect and next thing you know it's loss #2, he SHOULD walk away if he feels his **** is ****ed up he has the right but I'm just saying if he does then he should give up the belts immediately and let them be fought for as soon as Febuary 2nd or Miguel Cotto's next fight.. 100
