    Interesting view and that makes sense. We all have our time and passing the torch is inevitable

      I voted NO. He is good for himself but not for the sport. Just the fact he fought a novice (and forced to lose weight) Canelo and then refused him a rematch when Canelo got good. This should tell you any fight you want to see involving Floyd - you will only get to see against a diminished/handicapped version of that fighter. As much as Floyd fans love the Pac-man fight - true boxing fans know that fight should have happened years earlier when both fighters were at their peak. A Waste!

      Also Floyd ran from a rematch (with a non-injured Pacquiao) after saying Paquiao was better than he expected. So any hope his fans had of still claiming Pacquiao ducked the first fight disappeared with that dodge. Hardly a great fighter - but a great boxer sure. Floyd even ducked Amir Khan - as shown by his Twitter poll for "Next Opponent" than Khan unexpectedly won and that FLoyd ignored and fought the loser in that poll instead. I mean it wasn't like Khan didn't want that fight! Wow he even ducked Khan....

          No. He was a fraud and ruined the sport. Overhyped woman beating thug.

            Yes only because I loved no All Access. Program rarely happens unless it's Tank 1st PPV, Pacquiao's only Showtime PPV, etc

              Miss that style without a doubt. The purest form of sharp-shooting ever displayed in the ring. None of the top current boxers have shown that level of sharpness in the league.

                  I do miss the big fight week and pre fight stuff, NOBODY currently has been able to replace that lets be honest, these guys are F^cking Boring. The HBO 24/7 and All Access Shows are basically dead and unwatchable without him. Also miss taking Family members and Co-Works money who would pick against Mayweather off of Emotions and pure HATE lol

                  Clearly he is missed even by the Idiots who hate him on this forum, those guys start threads about him the most even though he is retired

                    Yes I miss him. Boxing always felt like it had a large event to look forward to when he was around. People act like he's boring, but his 24/7's and All Access shows were the best.
