    It doesn't seem right.

    Plus we are fans, I personally don't have his best interests at heart.
    Barry sanders was prolly the best RB in the game when he checked out. It happens sometimes.


    The frustrating thing is that there has been ZERO credible media coverage on Floyd. So anything that has been said on here has been pure speculation. Agreed?

    You don't have to have PBF's best interests at heart...but you should have your own. And your own best interests should tell you that there are real, makeable fights out there that do NOT include a retired fighter.

      That is confusing. When the guy was fighting, he was "bad for boxing", "boring", "a *****", a "coward", etc. OK, fine.

      Then he retires, and the boards can't stop talking about him and putting him in every fantasy matchup. WTF?

        Dude has only been out of he game for what a year?, at this point in time it doesn't seem concrete.

        That is the be-all and end-all.

          its probably cause they believe his retirement is a smoke screen and he is still undefeated all people always wanna see someone lose their '0'

            During that time, there have been a shyteload of fights at WW

            Cotto-Gomez
            Zab-Clottey
            Cotto-Marg
            Marg-Cintron

            ...and you have SSM upcoming
            .

            Yeah. it has been a year, 9 months, or whatever. But how long do we talk/wait? one year? two? Until he is a fatass with a bald spot?

            Has he given you ANY indication that he plans to fight in the next 6 moths? next year? ANY indication at all?

                Thats what i dont get as well, If the guy is boring, a coward then leave him alone to retire, Before he retired a lot of people kept saying they WHICH he would retire from boxing and now that he has he cant get any peace.

                  Everyone wants a piece of Floyd. If it ain't DLH (For money purposes) then its Floyd. If he is a so called *****, Coward, or w/e they'd like to call him, Then why does Cintron, Cotto, Paul Williams and Margarito feel the need to fight him. Talk about being world champion eh?

And in the barbershops, internet chatrooms and on the streets, it is being said that not only don't you want to fight Margarito, but you can't beat him. You say you retired because you lost passion for the sport. If that is the case, then stay retired, because margarito is not the type of fighter you should face if you only have one foot in the ring"

                    That's Helen Mirren. She's my favourite actress. She was in The Queen, The Clearing, Teaching Mrs. tingle, etc...
