Mayweather didn't retire

[Weebler I]

he was just giving his body a rest for more fights.

He cares about his legacy and wants to build on it. He said that himself.

Cares about the money too obviously.

[**********]

So then why was he crying?

[Shadow boxer 3]

he's been boxing non-stop since he was a child. after a while that takes a toll on ur body. i think he just needed a break from the sport

He should have just taken some time off then and not called a press conference to announce his official retirement.

[**********]

He used the word retire.

So I'm pretty sure it counts as a retirement.

yes it counts as a retirement BUT in his mind he was never retired.

[**********]

In his mind he is also #1 P4P.

I don't think he really believes that anymore, he knows Pac is No.1, he's not ******.

[badnewsbrown]

i dont believe he needed a rest, the guy only fights twice a year.

he was trying to build his name that while and just let everything unfold by letting all the other top WW beat the **** out of each of other. maybe he will pick up the scraps now?

Pacquiao had been boxing since age 12 as well. has abot 12 more professional bouts than Floyd, been a pro for longer, is he taking a break?

You guys really need to cut the crap. Even floyd's fans dont believe he really retired. He simply sat on the sidelines because it would have been crushing to his legacy for floyd to turn down unification bouts with Margarito and Cotto who both had welterweight belts at the time....and lord knows he didnt want anything to do with Mosley who was ranked #2 by the WBC for Floyd's belt. So he sat on the sidelines to watch them all fight each other....so he can say im better than all of them because none of them beat me.

Of course none of them beat you floyd, because you didnt fight any of them.
