    Is this the end of Mayweather's superstar career?

    As the title says, is it?

    He says he won't fight this year and Pac doesn't want to fight much longer, so that fight may be out the window. Don't count on May '11, like in March when we shouldnt have counted on November '10. Hes going to say he'll need a tuneup and then after that he won't fight. Many of his diehard fans look like idiots and hypocrites since Floyd did not help them at all by not fighting Pac. I'm not sure how much longer they'll continue to support someone that doesn't fight and dissapoints them.

    All i know is floyd will be forever remembered as a ducker. I kinda actually feel sorry for his legacy because he is one of the best boxers technically ever. But he just dug his own grave.

      I guess so. I think Mayweather may fight only one more time and defiantly no more than two fights. Pacquiao will take a fight this year and maybe 1/2 next year then retire.

        I agree.

        Also, Father Time hits fighters that depend on their reflexes pretty hard.

        Ask Roy Jones Jr.

              At the end of the day, if he calls Pacquiao out after his fight with Cotto or Margarito and their are no hiccups, people's won't give a ****.

              As things stand he is getting a lot of negative rep, so if he fights sometime near November and the opponent isn't Pacquiao it is not going to look pretty for him. If he starts arranging a fight before November and the person isn't Pacquiao it's not going to look pretty for him either.

              As things stand, I'd say the onus is now on Floyd to make the challenge to Pacquiao.

                Floyd might be the best boxer ever yet he chooses not to fight Pac, floyd is only hurting himself though because those great reflexes of his can be gone in a blink of an eye and he'll regret not fighting Pac while he was still in his prime.

                  Yeah the whole situation is a shame for everyone. Pac and May would've been in the biggest fight in history, the fans would've been given an enormous event, and the sport would've been the talk of everyone, everwhere. If it ever does happen, interest will be lost and they likely wont be at their peak.

                    Very likely...there are no other "superstar" boxers worthy of fighting and he does not want to fight the guy that will make him the most cash.....dude should just quit now...
