    Well done Budman!

    He's retiring on a big win. And apparently he's pretty well off financially with his property investments. And he seems to have all of his faculties about him. Why continue to fight? Hasn't he won like 14 different world titles in 5 weight divisions? And undisputed in 3 different weight divisions. There's not much more he can really do to cement his legacy. At this stage, I think pretty much everyone would have to rate him top 20 all time p4p. Right up there with the likes of Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao, etc.

    The man has nothing left to prove in boxing. Hat's off to an amazing career.
    Floyd and Sugar Leonard guard the gates of top 10 all time

          Retiring after such a dull sparring session makes it look Nel took the L for 100M.

            I think prime for prime he would have lost to Floyd and Pac but did we ever really see him at his best? He never had an opponent on his level truly to find out

            Either way great career and went out on top

              manny would get hurt by TBud

              Old Small Juan was able to give manny a boxing lesson then clap him

              As for Floyd Terence can be got with right hands and doesn’t do as well when the opp makes him come forward. See his sparring sessions with Timmeh

              he’d be chasing and eating Floyd rights for it

                Was not anywhere near close enough to warrant a rematch. Canelo stayed competitive enough and he won a few rounds, but he lost CLEAN!

                It was competitive at the start, but Crawford pulled away using his high skill and speed.

                The most you can give Canelo, is like, 4 rds. And I feel I’m being generous in saying that.
                why not? We don't know if bud is good in rematches? Don't do another floyd. Nel o should ask bud when he's willing to dance again

                    Right now his marketability is at its highest and he could cash in big with a Canelo rematch. I’m surprised he isn’t taking advantage of that and is walking away.
