floyd is a genius...he planned all of this

[PAC-BOY]

retire,rest his body,wait till the demand is high..and return..he will be the biggest name in the sport do huge numbers...if he comes back for a tune up with jmm-#2p4p in the world..then fight pacman#1 p4p in the world..then fight the #1 welterweight in the world.....wow..3 fights that would make him top 10-15 alltime imo....

if he does all that...he will shut all critics up. I couldnt say anything bad thats for sure.

You think so?

pbf did retire at the perfect time and it was genius ... the ww divison has changed and sorted itself up, pac has moved up, the demand for pbf seems to be huge ... and while theres obviously no shame in taking fights with jmm and pac they are elite without a doubt. and pac would be a big money fight that many fans would like to see ... but as a fan i would be dissapointed in a comeback that did not include a fight with a true ww like mosley and/or the winner of cotto/clottey before he finally retires ... if he does this i think there would be a good argument for him to be in the top 15 atg... and would maybe not shut-up the haters but it should at least quite them down ...

floyd is a genius in the ring, but not so much outside... I mean asking for $20 million guarantee isn't very smart.

His $20M request was a slap to Mosley's face, who was asking for $10M back in the day when he wanted to fight Floyd (i forgot exactly what point in time this was)

marquez is like 140 at 135 right now. That 5 lbs wouldn't minimize his skills at all. But i understand wht u are saying,we'll just have to disagree with that point.



But $40 is not $55 dollars. That is what u paid + 1/2 of what u paid, that's a nice difference in change.

If hatton is the bigger draw, what other ppvs have he had and what are the #s? He hasn't had any other ppv and that is for a reason. Those people bought the fight becuase floyd was fighting and he is the best and they want to see him lose, not becuase hatton is that dude.

Well the exchange rate was slightly over 2, so it was more like $42, which means you weren't paying 150% of what we were. The cost factor is negligable when both countries are rich, people can generally afford PPVs and your population is at x5 bigger than ours.

Hatton was the bigger draw in that fight. Now I'm not saying that Hatton would bring in exactly the same numbers against a nobody, but he would get a lot closer to them than Mayweather would against a nobody.

He'll be top10 ATG for me, if he does that.

He'll be top10 ATG for me, if he does that.

LOL

floyds quiet when it comes to clottey or mosley but marquez calls out and now hes training. tells juan be careful what u wish for. come on it is a ***** move, money wise its genius but hurts his place in boxing

[UnDeniable]

LOL

He'd be top 20 thats for sure, he'd also cement himself as the best fighter of his era bar none

On a related topic, has anyone beat 3 top 10 P4Pers in succession over the past 20 years
