I've been racking my brains for reasons for his retirement and this was the only explanation I could come up with.
Floyd knew if he kept moving through the ranks he'd one day have to step up and face Danny and that would be a bridge too far.
Think about it, not even P4P - if Floyd moved up to Light Heavyweight and Danny moved down... Danny would be even sleeker, and when he's got the weight off then he's got fast hands for a big man. Whereas at that weight Floyd would be slow and sluggish. All that "rolling shoulder" routine on the ropes wouldn't do him any good when Danny's breaking his arms with those piledrivers of his.
Floyd knew he was gonna get ****ed up by Danny.
