A boxer who considers himself god in boxing who don't even know how to give credit and appreciate fellow boxers I think would be a worst commentator and would only messed-up with the show..
His entire "money" personna is bound to retire once he himself retires. So I don't think you'd have to worry about him talking about himself all that much. (At least, not as much as Lennox Lewis or Emmanuel Steward.)
Plus ; there aren't many other fighters out there with a boxing intellect on par with Floyd's. Hopkins is the only other one that springs to mind.
I think he'd have a lot to offer as far as insight goes.
He's not exactly a wordsmith, and he tends to stammer when
challenged. What happens when a co-commentator disagrees
with his take, on-air? Then again, seeing him up against Max
Kellerman on HBO or Brian K. on ESPN might be a draw by itself.
David Diaz has a great sense of humor and is communicative,
but last time he was on air, dropped way too many f-bombs,
the crazy fuck, lol.
