      Boxing is show buisness. Without the show, there is no buisness. The majority of people who watch boxing do bso to see excitement, not the subtle little intricacies that make a fighter great. If you can get both, thats great. But most people are looking for flat out excitement when they plop down their hard earned $55 dollars. Jmo.

        the worst part for these guys is retirement.

        The only thing they could do is fight and they have some speech problem as well as mental problem that could effect from getting hit in the head.

        That is why in boxing try to accomplish as quickly as possible and retire young when you already have it all

              If you're defending Floyd's choice (or ploy) to retire, the public outcry has nothing to do with him not trying to slug it out rather than him just simply fighting another fighter in his prime like all other champions in his weight class did before him.

              I think people wrongfully define risky fights on the basis of someone getting KO'd or literally beat up, but in actuality a risky fight (at least in Floyd's case) is fighting a guy that is up to his level of competition and can give him a hell of a fight.

              I don't believe Floyd is literally scared of guys like Cotto, but I do believe he's afraid of losing his "0" .

                  At the end of the day, that's all we really want to see (at least I do).
