    He is still World Class, but he doesn't seem to care about boxing or a need to prove himself as the greatest. He only wants to say it.
    I used to be a big fan of his. But when he moved up to 147 he turned into an obnoxious twat, changed his name to "Money" retired when the best in the division were fighting each other..........The list goes on for me.

      alright and thats where floyd earned his reputation as one of the best in this time and he only went to 147/154 to chase a fighter but i agree he hasn't fought the two people i wanted him to but i think thats due to the mutal hatred him and arum have for each other..but thats my opinion

        Hatton a smaller fighter, Marquez a smaller, 36 year old dragged up 2 weight divisions fighter, and a 38 year old Mosley don't cut it for me sorry. When you call yourself "The Greatest Boxer Ever" I expect more than that from him.

          hatton was shorter and at that point hatton was actually stronger and naturally bigger than floyd. maquez was a tune-up coming off the layoff but it was horrible that he didnt honor the weight, i think mosley was actually a legit fight he had a great win in his previous fight

            I'm sorry but i'm not impressed with his resume at 147. Floyd has been at Welter for 5 years now, the best guys in the division over that time have been/ are: Cotto, Paul Williams, Mosley, Clottey, Berto, Cintron, Margarito and more recently Pacman. Floyd conveniently retired while those guys were fighting each other. Floyd has a 38 year old Mosley on his resume out of those names. Plus the fact he only made a comeback because he was broke makes it even more of a joke. Sorry dude but it doesn't impress me at all. Have a nice day i have to dash.
