    Is Floyd dumb enough to end his career like ROy Jones?

    Could you picture the :"great" Floyd Mayweather getting KO'd at 37 or 39 years old? Look, Jones was a ****y and flamboyant fighter as well and look at him now. I personally think May likes his 0 too much and might not risk fighting much longer! Thoughts?

      Floyd will has technical skills to fall back on, RJJ relied on reflexes and his physical talents.

        If Floyd loses once he'd have one more fight then call it quits.

        We'll find out after the Mosley fight once he gets beat.

              If Mosley doesn't win he will come very close to beating Floyd. I reckon the is gonna be a round in it.

                Jones Jr's career went downhill because he went down two weight classes in his late 30s...That's a horrible idea, especially when the classes have huge weight differences like LHW, CW and HW do (Light Heavy and Cruiser are 25lbs apart, and there's no telling what he weighed at Heavyweight)...This showed in his first first with Tarver. Even though he won, he still looked horrible. However he looked great in his previous fight, which was at Heavyweight.

                I can see Floyd fighting until he's like 36. He only fights once or twice a year, and there isn't much left for him to do outside of fighting Mosley and Pacquiao. Berto has some time to prove he's worthy, but what can he really do at this point? KO a LWW?

                There isn't much left to do at WW. The division is gone. Everyone moved up to 154 or down to 140. Unless Floyd moves up to 154 (assuming he beats Mosley and Pac), you can expect him to retire soon.
