Duran of Montreal roughs him up and is too much for him. Benitez would be a very difficult fight for him. That era was greats all fighting each other.
    TBud does best with opps that come towards him

    guys who can box are a handful for him as seen with Timmeh sparring tapes and Madrimov

    for this reason Floyd and the 5 Kings would be handful for TBud

    he's closer in size to the 5 Kings than Floyd is so doing fantasy h2h with them is fairer

        Great decision, great career, all-time great fighter.

        I don't think he'll be back. He doesn't seem like the type of dude who's just going to come back for no reason.

          He def did it his way. Regardless of the accolades or hate, he did what he said he was gonna do. Stuck to his guns and now retires an even richer man. He played the game and won. Congr.ats Champ

            Time will tell.
            He's too old for any EVENTUALLY business. If he's going to do anything in the ring it's got to be soon.

                      You called Nel o out when.Nobody expected you to, so caught Nel o offgaurd. Now you announce retirement when nobody expected it?.Seems so calculated?
                      Give Nel o rematch, let's see how you do in rematches. Let your fans know when your last fight is,so they can see you fight in person
