Why Floyd took the 1 1/2 lay-off smart move..

[trainhard_187]

Floyd retires when the WW division was stacked. The three top WW were
1. Cotto
2. Marg
3. Shane

Three fighters the boxing community wanted to fight and if Floyd stuck around he would be forced to fight one of them then...

Cotto and Marg are both with Top Rank. Floyd and team knew that Arum was obviously going to match both his fighters (Cotto and Marg) together as we have seen. Marg became the dominated winner of that. Shane busted Marg up while Cotto beat Shane previously...

Floyd waited for those three to bust each other up until he finally returns. Floyd fights Shane finally the oldest of the three who has been in more battles..

Smart move for Floyd..

Floyds ring intelligence is simply on another level much like Ray Leonards

shame he isn't as intelligent outside the ring

Shane was regarded more highly after Floyd came back from retirement. I think most would agree that Mosley is held in a higher regard than Margarito. Floyd beat up Mosley.

I know that BoxingScene has since torn down that win (Fixed fight, Mosley shot and old, Mosley long layoff, Mosley victory over Margarito is tainted), but the fact remains that the Mosley victory was a top notch win.

Floyd will only fight a fighter who has had too many wars or is too old.

he ducked them... everyone knows this

through triangle theories floyd managed to beat all the top welterweights of his era without ever fighting them. a genius.

lots of people thought marquez beat pac so mayweather beats marquez which gets him a win over pac
mosley beat margarito who beat cotto so floyd automatically gets wins over them

at the end he's left with a lightweight and a 38 year old mosley to fight. perfect!

Yup and according to some posters here its because he has the "African-American" style.
