    If boxing were run like pride or K1, where there is tournament and elimination process, and at the end, the best take on the best, Floyd would have at least 3-4 losses on his record. He would've been FORCED to take on the top dogs!

Is it just because his mouth is more entertaining than his fights? I don't see how a man can go into retirement, avoid all the challenges at his weight this way, see how things play out, and then come back when he can find the least dangerous route but biggest pay. I mean, how are ATGs defied this way? They shouldn't be, and this is why boxing is so wrong. It needs to be played along a definite ranking system that means, if you beat boxer C, then B, then you face A. And in that order with no way of skipping or jumping inbetween. That's why it loses so many casual fans because they only tune in to these supermatches.

      Yes.

      It has to do with politics and money. In the older boxing days, you'd fight everyone and anyone. Getting paid was just a bonus for whoopin ass.

      Mayweather? *****. Boxing don't need Mayweather. He ain't the missing link.

        Mayweather will come out of his retirement to fight the Pacman. The only consolation Floyd will have from this is the $ he will take from it. The Pacman will humble Mayweather with his display of speed, elusiveness, power and aggressiveness the likes of which Floyd has never seen before. Mayweather's "0" will definitely go in 2009 at the hands of the "Pride of the Philippines." I feel it. It's coming.

                      I wouldn't say it like that...More like Mayweather doesn't have the kind of love B-Hop has for the sport.
