    Floyd will be the next Roy Jones Jr

    Meaning, he'll be chasing legacy. What do I mean, see, I've noticed that some fighters comeback for the $$$. But, I think some of these guys comeback because they felt they didn't leave it in the ring, taking on bums instead of taking on fights that build ATG cred!!

    I could see Floyd ending up like RJJ, not necessarily just for financial reasons, but, it's gonna sink in(maybe it's happening now), that he feels he didn't do enough. That full 100% satisfaction that you really gave it all you had against all the real bad&sses.

    And the only way the RJJ's are gonna quit, is when someone schlum finally puts their lights out.

    On the other hand, I think PAC can leave the sport with a 100% satisfaction, will be able to sleep soundly knowing that he has done everything and left everything he had in the ring.

      I know that. But, you never know, one day it might just gnaw at him, that feeling of having an empty stomach so to speak, that in his mind, he didn' t give his commitment to boxing the way legends of the past and present have.

      And he'll be craving, starving for the biggest challenges that he avoided.

          I don't think so. Roy actually loved the sport, Mayweather probably does too but not to Roy's extent.

            RJJ loved the sport, but he didn't like taking on the biggest challenges. I mean, okay he fought Toney, but even in that, he knows he ran from JT, he fought him in a manner that says, I don't really wanna fight, I will pitter pat and run my @ss to victory.

            Look at it like cheating on a test, yes you took the test and passed, but.

                  Roy Jones Jr. is the greatest fighter of the 90's.

                    pbf is a smart fighter who fights a lot with his mind as much as his physical gifts. I could see him adjusting his style as he would age and his physical abilities diminish. I doubt he is gonna be fighting passed 34 but if he does, I think he would still be very good and be quite capable of beating the top comp.
