Floyd Mayweather Jr Retires From Boxing

[WLAD OWNS]

Floyd is the #1 p4p *****

[edgarg]

I said it before If he fights De La Hoya, Cotto, and Mosley he will be the best under 154 ever. If not he might rank in the top 10 under 154 ever. Just because he didn't fight the main guy in his division before he left. COTTO.

What about Pipino Cuevas at his peak, Donald Curry, Tommy Hearns, Jimmy McLarnin, Barney Ross Ted Kid Lewis, Jack Britton, Joe Walcott, Sam Langford, Nino Benvenui, Laszlo Papp, Henry Armstrong etc. And probably about 50 others (slight hyperbole here, but you know what I mean)

The chances of his beating more than a very few of the above would be slight.

There are contractual problems with Oscar no doubt.Maybe that transexual tried to impose ****** conditions more than the first and Floyd told him to F off

[bishop2006]

Man,my favorite fighter retiring,it seems hes serious this time,the best fighter of our era,i just wish he would have fought Cotto,hey,maybe he will,no DLH fight,DLH has to choose a new opponent

[Mad Classic]

Anyone see this as a ploy to raise his stock and earning potential even higher?

Kinda like Jay-Z retiring

You maybe right...!

De la hoya should take his 45-55 cut and try to bring Floyd back to boxing but De La Hoya is being ******..! De la hoya probably thinks he should get more money even though he lost the last fight..!

THIS is an astute observation. I can say that I'm not bothered either way, and Mayweather for me has meant almost nothing in the milieu of the boxing world. In his letter he indulges in rather delusional thoughts, especially concerning his multi-millions of devoted fans. The whole letter sounds rather hysterical and over dramatized and as has been suggested, he may be indulging in another of his blatant self adulatory PR attempts.

I syuppose that he'll make a dramatic, begrudging, "only because the fans love me so much" return simetime, when scattering $100 bills from casino balconys loses his interest.

If anyone has ever read Seutonius' "Lives of the 12 Caesars", one might be struck with the hysterial psychological resemblance to Nero. Except for Nero's habit of instructing his slavish adherents to commit suicide.

To cement his claim to being the "best" [present day only], he'd need to beat Delahoya convincingly this time, also Mosely before he gets too old, Cotto, Margarito [regardless of their fight outcome] and several other newly on the scene up and comers. He is young enought to do all this, but I question his ability, capability and staying power.

Whichever way people wanted to watch Floyd fighting,either to see him winning or losing but yes millions wanted to.His retirement is a loss to boxing

NOOOOOOO MAN THIS SUCKS!!!!! IM REALLY GONNA MISS FLOYD IF THIS IS FA REAL......DAMMIT!!!!

but on another note i wish him the best....i just wouldnt be so mad if he would have ended his career with DLH and Cotto....i think he beats both of them and walks away incredibly more rich. But i think being tired of the sport...wanting new things...and retiring on top and undefeated (maybe not wanting to lose that "0") all played a part in his retirement.

but you know he may be pulling a sugar ray leonard (waiting for his modern day hagler (cotto) fight down the road. who knows but i love ya floyd and wish you the best!

[ElGranLuchador]

i told u so

[edgarg]

NO DIRTY- His win over corrales was tainted by Corrales' weight and prison problems. Corrales nearly died (seriously)


stop lying...........damn...........lol...............

Boofy, I apologise in advance, but you absolutely don't know what you're talking about....It's all on record and quite true. Sorry.
