    Why the Hell did Floyd retire again?

    I rarely follow the light weights, so I'm not 100% sure what the hell happened there. .Why did Floyd retire again?

    Some common answers I got from posters on various sites

    1- His hand injury
    2-He was rich and ran out of money
    3- The WW Division was heating up and he wanted to either let them
    move up to 160 (Williams) or kill each other off.
    4- He needed a break..

    The WW Division was heating up, so he left

    I don't believe he ever gave a reason, or not a good reason at least.

      the welterweight is too loaded.

      We dont want floyd's imaginary zero threatened in any WAY SHAPE or FORM.

      Just in case a threat is still active when floyd returns the ol OST random blood test should do it.

      If not, Floyd can always wait for them to beat each other up while his loyal fanbase is at awe how great poor lil floyd is. like Muhammad ali.

              the only one of those I think he possibly ducked is paul williams

              you know it's alright to discredit floyd mayweather without coming off as 100% completely illogical and biased right?

                Cotto was the next fight and he wasn't a huge name at the time, he had beaten De La Hoya and got past Hatton and made a lot of money. Maybe he just wanted some time off.

                  turned down a career high payday to fight margarito and demanded insane options such as quadruple his career high payday in order to fight margarito

                  said everything was agreed upon all pac had to do was take the test but when pac agreed changed his other demands and said pac gets 0 percent of the ppv

                  said cotto lives too far away, wasn't the CEO of his own company, and is not a ppv draw(unlike baldomir) then retired for 2 years

                  floyd quotes "health comes first"

                  "we aint fighting to prove who's best"

                  and this guy's not a ducker?

                    When you give your life to something at times its easy to feel like youve had enough and want to walk away , you just need a mental refresh but dont know that at the time , but you empty head kids would not know anything of the sort , your too busy calling superstar world boxing champions chicken , they are not wind up toys , the pressure on these top guys is huge , they dont all carry things the same way and who knows whats going on in their private lives , the rubbish the haters come out with on this site is BS , like a bunch of women arguing about days of our lives .
