    For DLH, well yeah he's rich as hell, but of course money plays a role in him continuing to fight. Just because he's rich, doesn't mean he doesn't want more or isn't greedy. Rich people are often the greediest people on the planet.

    Plus he has a business to run, and it's best for GBP to have him in these huge money makers.

    Floyd and DLH have been boxing since they were kids. It's gotta be hard to suddenly say to yourself "okay you've made enough money, not quit this sport that you've been doing since the age of 5 or whatever, and been making millions and been in the spotlight for years".

    It's a cycle you see over and over and over again in boxing.

    I rarely take retirement talks seriously, unless the guy is really old or has been getting the crap beaten out of him.

    Even then, I'm dubious.
    i agree with you man, these guys been fighting a long time and are paid. i think oscar could of retired a couple years ago and there wouldnt be no problem. his resume speaks for itself. as for floyd he beat some very good fighters and accomplished alot but there's always questions about his resume and if he fought the best available.

    thats why if he really feels he accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish and he felt he had nothing more to prove back in 2007. he should've stayed retired. he left the ww division without fighting the best available there and now he's coming back but not to fight a top ww and settle unfinished business

      If Arum and Mayweather are going to stop acting like bickering children and put their differences aside, it'll probably be for a Pacquiao fight, not Cotto. Mayweather-Pacquiao is a bigger fight.

      Then again, Cotto and Arum are having problems, so maybe they will split.
