I don't know what you guys think about the latest fiasco but let's say as a boxing fan I've been disappointed by Mayweather this year. I've been thinking was it really worth coming out of retirement? Ok he beat JMM & Mosley, I'd say the Mosley win was decent, however, the majority excuse the JMM win and give him zero credit for it.
When it comes down to it, why did Mayweather really come out of retirement? - was it money? or did he really want to come back for a mega fight with Pacquiao? Surely it was to come back to cement his legacy as being recognized P4P king, to knock Pacquiao off his throne right? I think were unable to answer this question, as no one knows how Mayweather operates, but it's a sure strange way to go about things.
In my opinion, Mayweather should have stayed retired, I think his legacy was already sealed anyway, every boxing fan knows he's one of the most skilled boxing athletes to grace the boxing ring, and is ATG. OK he ducked some fighters, that's negotiable, we know that. However, most would agree he'd have probably kept his '0', the only real threat is Pacquiao.
So my point is, IF Mayweather came back for greed, and not to land a fight Pacquiao, it really wasn't worth it, in my eyes.. He has hardly set the world a light since making his comeback, it's been somewhat of a disappointment and farce. Mayweather infact has lost more credibility since coming back, had he stayed retired I don't think so many boxing fans would be on his back right now.At the end of the day, beating Mosley & JMM was never worth it, unless he does fight Pacquiao that is. Right now, his comeback has been a disaster, I know some will disagree strongly but that's how I feel as a boxing fan right now.
Thoughts?
