    Then why did he retire? He would have been favored vs Thurman, or Bradley. The top 147 guys were stilling climbing the ranks or not in the division yet.

    Hell he could have kept doing exhibitions vs MMA/Boxing guys and steal the spotlight.

    I think he loves to talk about himself but I don't think he cares about being the face of boxing, I think he is enjoying easy money and not doing training camps
    He retired cause he was getting old. Father Time has a more impressive undefeated record than Floyd.

      I still do tend to think Floyd ego is super huge and that he is jealous imho.
      I think he definitely misses it, especially the attention he got from it.

        In the tweet string you posted Baker responded to Mike, which you didn’t post, where he points out he’s been asked about Canelo all week then says at this point Floyd is just doing his job as a promoter. I didn’t see a response from Mike after that.

        Doesn't seem to be a big deal at all. Just gets over exaggerated because it’s Floyd.

          Exactly, these guys can't box forever, Floyd is intelligent, he knew when the right time was.

            I mean, I think what he misses is just that, the attention.

              Why do you reach this conclusion? I’m curious because this answer was given during a press event.

                Floyd clearly misses the spotlight, why else do you think he’s messing around with YouTubers? It’s certainly can’t be for the money as he’s set for his life, his kids lives, his grandchildren’s lives etc etc.

                He wishes he was back in his 30’s ruling the sport but that time is over, it’s Canelo’s time now. Canelo has replaced Floyd as the face of the sport and Floyd’s ego doesn’t like that. It’s the same reason Oscar is so salty about Floyd. Athletes don’t like having to pass the torch.

                  Floyd played the game perfectly. Maximum reward, minimum damage.

                      Canelo is loved and respected, Floyd while being a huge cash cow was mostly the villain. Always boo'd everywhere he went, he needs 10 security guards to go to the store. Most his big fights went to decision, Canelo has the crowd behind him and is getting stoppages.

                      it's jealousy on Floyd's part.

                      Also Floyd isn't getting the credit he thinks he deserves because Canelo was green and drained, that's why he's saying Canelo was prime. It's mostly making Floyd look like a sad little old man, he should really just stay back and let Tank get some attention.
