Sitting on your wins doesn't cut it and it doesn't guarantee you can't get ktfo in your next fight. He dares compare himself to Robinson and I bet some of you here are even foolish enough to accept it. He's created such a myth of invincibility that he doesn't need to fight for people to accept him as better than anyone he'll face. He's won before even signing a contract.
All he really has to do to sustain his status is to fuel the public's praise by putting on an excellent performance every couple of years and he's back on top for a couple more. Quite franlkly it's marketing ingenuity

how can u be P4P when u are retired huh ,is'nt Floyd Mayweather retired if thats the case he aint P4P King is he so there is an open slot for Pac or Zag ,Floyd cant have it both ways he cant say he is retired then cherry pick who he wants to come out of retirement and fight and still be considered P4P King surely

it is a helluva a way of avoiding fighters u dont wanna fight & a good way of not having to fight actively and make lots of cash

just playing devils advocate here

how can you be retired and have a fight scheduled in a few months

[Dynamite Kid]

He is fighting de la Hoya in September.

ant that why he should not be considered P4P anymore because he is pretending he is retired so he can avoid fighters and make lots a cash

Nothing has been signed as of yet. As a matter of fact, the word is, they are having a hard time getting Floyd to sign the contract. A few weeks ago, Floyd was on a radio station, and stated that he is retired from boxing because he no longer wants to deal with the stress associated with it. These are words that came directly out of his own mouth.

Does that mean you want to strip Hatton of his top ten ranking? He is fighting lightweights. And making plans for featherweights.
