Floyd definitely had the best skills before he retired, but he never really put them to the test towards the end. He didn't fight the best, and the he went and retired. I lost some respect for him towards the end.
true he should have fought cotto and then retired off a big performance against a top prime fighter then i wouldnt have any problem with him retiring
Credit is something a great fighter gets after a while. Ali was also hated when he fought and loved when he started losing and retired. Baldomir was the linear and ring champion and had not lost in 10 years, not a bum as some had tried to make believe. Merchant may not be in the kkk but he hated Floyd. Many did.
The baldomir performance was an awesome performance in technical terms. The american crowds suck big time. They are uneducated drunkards who can only appreciate a slug fest, for the most part. Japanese crowds would never boo a fighter for the lack of a KO specially if his hand is broken.
that was quite possibly one of the worst fights ive ever seen
you can see it as a boring fight, worst fight, or a boxing clinic against the ww champion at the time. How you see it will be solely on your appreciate or hate of floyd.

I can definitely see your point. I feel the same. There is no doubt floyd is/was the best fighter in boxing but his interest in showing it kinda sucks!
Man, if you don't love this video, then you have never laced them up.
I think Mayweather is one of the best I have ever seen at it.
Better then Pea? He has got time.
Thanks, thread starter....
