Poppy takes some big losses this decade and not exciting. Roy past it by mid decade. Oscar competitive but losing. Floydy retired really hasn't challenged anyone in his division since Castillo who seems to have neutered his brilliant offense to boring defense. Super Joe's biggest challenges fall short of the mark also, probably about even with Floydy.
Manny will blast out Ricky faster without an assist from the ref and turnbuckle, clowning two fighters that gave Floydy a scrap. Floydy/Manny can't be made immediately as too much guaranteed money already in the bank with Ricky.
Floydy used Arum as the excuse for not facing Marg or Cotto and retired in the middle of Oscar promotions and blasted HBO for slave wages that he says made him a billionaire.
Go figure Floydy math and his next retirement because nobody to bother anymore. May have to put up a bond to fight Manny to protect Arum from his retiring in the middle of the promotion again, that's if Arum even allows him a a whiff of Manny's earning potential.
No, it's pretty much a done deal for Manny unless Ricky upsets him setting up a scramble. Floydy out in the cold and no big names for Joe.Comment
