    The better question would be why did he retire?

    And came back when everyone had beaten each other then proclaim himself as the greatest.

          Sugar Ray Leonard was also no stranger to retirement.

          I can't say I would box again sitting on all kinds of money.

          I guess they get restless, want more money, and miss people cheering for them.

          I think it's easy to understand actually.

          If I just made 15 million, I think I'd have a hard time motivating myself to do anything but relax.

              You are aware that your edit made absolutely no sense, right?

                your answer

                floyd came out of retirement because everybody he was ducking started getting ****ed up.

                floyd ducked undefeatedd cotto, marg beat him

                floyd ducked marg, mosley killed plaster master

                floyd ducked mosley, and figured since cotto had been ko'd by marg, and cotto had beat mosley, that he could finally beat mosley too.

                **when floyd retired, PACMAN wasn't at welter yet, but everyone was buzzing about manny, and floyd knew what was comming.**

                Paul williams....... , floyd retired because he knew he was ducking paul and fight fans were gonna make him fight paul. as soon as paul said fuc'k WW and went to JMW & MW, floyd knew he was all set to come out of retirement.... cotto, marg, mosley had been beaten recently and PWill wasn't around anymore

                  Hopefully the first option.
                  If Floyd gets through Pacquiao, I can see him dominating everyone else easily and leaving Boxing for good.

                    He was talkin' about bein' a 'Wall Street playa' or some such shortly before the crash, wasn't he? Like in an interview w/Larry Merchant or something? I think he was what rich folk would call 'broke' or too close to it for his liking.
