Floyd to fight 3-4 times and retire!!!

[jtiger777]

maybe he thinks the world is gonna end in 2012?

[Cash Cow]

Oh it can, but I haven't seen no decline have you? I also haven't seen a decline in Hop speech, so it's not about being invincible.

It might show up later in years to come. That's always likely. But, today, he speech it's still the same.

I dont see any difference at all, his voice is just deeper because he is older, and he has money, so his ****yness is sky high. He isnt slurring by any means.

[Reloaded]

LMFAO

That's what he said in 09 before he saw Pac demolish Cotto and Hatton back to back

Yeah right and then he tried to hook Manny up but Manny ran out the door to Clottey so Floyd kept his word when he said if he cant get Pac he will fight Mosley ,,, you kids have such selective short memorys

Obviously you got lost in the conversation somewhere.

I never replied to anything that you liked to see. My only reply to you is that Floyd speech hasn't declined.

My comment was to DLT.

Who said what he could honestly see happening. Which is different from what you have said the TS asked for, which was what you would like to see happening.

I gave you an example of the difference between like to see happening and honestly see it happening.

Here it is again.



If you still not understanding. Then I don't know what to say. And, you're starting to bore me. So have a good day.

I clearly showed you owning yourself. I won't take the time to do it again. If you don't understand that, you're right have a nice day lol

He's not slurring, no. But I posted a Mayweather interview from 1998 and in my opinion, comparing the 1998 interview with now, I feel that he's stuttering and speaking a lot more slowly than then.

if his last 3 Fights is against Pacquiao, Khan, Martinez...that would boost his legacy greatly

it is really nothing anyone can ever say about him after that...well IMO but Haters will always find something to hate on, they will find another fighter and jump on his bandwagon and say "HE WOULD BEAT MAYWEATHER"

He will end his career in this fashion and maybe take on Canelo at the end is he is still undefeated or is still looking impressive. After this, how could you not put him in the top 10? If he remains Undefeated, never gets knocked down or seriously hurt in any of these fights and he dominates these guys? 2 of which are Top 3 P4P? Mayweather is always beating the top rated guys whether it be on the P4P list like Hatton, Mosley, JMM or beating the #1 or 2 guy in their respective weight classes...thats a hell of a run

My top 5.

Don't see Floyd surpassing them ON MY personal LIST, even if he accomplishes that. Don't see any active period surpassing them.

Maybe, depending on how he wins and where they at at as a fighter at the time he fights. Could he be arguably, ARGUABLY, top 10 on my personal list...Maybe perhaps.

Too many great fighters, with great resumes and accomplishments in the history of the sport.

No way, can't see that personally.

Highest Mayweather will ever see is Top 15-20, highest.

If he were to beat all those fighters.

Top 20? well how many of those 19 fighters ahead of him dominated their opposition for 17 years straight with no losses? Guys cant get cookie points because they were in more battles and wars. How many of those 19 fighters ahead of Mayweather are as skilled all around as he is from a defensive and offensive stand point?

How are you coming up with the criteria for this list?

I can FULLY respect that opinion. I was just listing a scenario that would make him, IMO a top 5 ATG. It's much easier said than done of course. It will always be hard for any fighter of our day and age to meet that list just because of the different nature of past and present boxing (money, the amount of fights etc...) so I am just using TODAY's criteria of great fighter and trying to make it fit with the greats of the past.

I agree. Also, to another poster, I don't remember Schaefer guaranteeing anything about Floyd fighting regularly after the Marquez fight or guaranteeing Mayweather-Pacquiao. Maybe I am mistaken but I don't think so.

I would like all of those fights, except for Cotto. Cotto hasn't been considered "Prime" or "Latter-prime" since his loss to Margarito and 2008, and has never really been the same fighter at all. He's still good but he's past his prime. Floyd UD's Cotto easily. Although, would you think it's more impressive if Floyd beat Cotto at 154 for his Super WW title than when Manny beat him at a Catchweight for his WW title??? I just don't see it happening because Floyd makes a point that Manny has fought a few of his left overs (De La Hoya 1 1/2 years later, Hatton 2 years later, Mosley 1 year later, Marquez at 144 2 years later) and I can't see him fighting a Pacquiao and Margarito left over who hasn't been too great since 08'. If Cotto were to win a huge fight, like against Sergio Martinez or Saul Alvarez...then maybe, but I'd still doubt it.

Also, contrary to what people are saying about Pacquiao fighting Martinez 150....I just can't see it happening and would HATE to see it. I don't wan tot see Sergio weight drain himself anywhere below 154 AT ALL. It would be a HUGE disadvantage for Sergio to go down 150 from 160, while Pacquiao goes to 150 from 147. Also, notice how people have questioned Manny about Sergio agreeing to 150 and he hasn't had ANY response. Dibella even said a fight with Floyd at 154 is a much more realistic possibility than with Pacquiao. Maybe if Sergio gets knocked down or struggles to beat Darren Barker (which won't happen of course), than maybe Pacquiao will fight him. I know its sad, but if Mayweather-Pacquiao doesn't happen early next year, I can see Pacquiao fighting the Cotto-Margarito 2 winner (Arum already mentioned a rematch with Cotto as a possibility) or Victor Ortiz (who Floyd already beat).

My dream for Floyd to end his career is like this:

Sept 2011: Victor Ortiz
March 2012: Sergio Martinez at 154
August 2012: Manny Pacquiao
December 2012: Amir Khan
May 2013: Saul Alvarez (hopefully he shows us in the next year or so that he can beat top fighters. Hopefully he fights someone like Lara, Trout, Cotto, Martinez, Angulo, Martirosyan, or even Chavez Jr.)

That would be my ideal dream touches on Floyd Mayweather's career.

And i guess you believe he will come out from all this fights as the winner right? I doubt it, but if he really would he would be the greatest of all time and im no Mayweather fan! I mean he would retire undefeated and with wins over other Topp4p fighters. His resume all together would just be too good fought and beat the best of his era in manny weight divisions. But like i said i dont see it happening. I would pick Pac and Martinez to beat him.
