      Father time catches up. I thought he was taking more licks then ever in the Cotto fight. It doesnt take much for someone to catch him, like Mosely did and then follow up. Time doesnt wait for any man, Floyd included.

      Hey, I could be wrong, I think he'll miss the chance to get out before he realises he's done and dusted.

        I thought he should have retired after the Cotto fight.

        I don't believe he belongs above 147 and frankly, there is nobody at that weight who does anything to improve his legacy. If he wants to stay at 154 then there are guys who could enhance it, but I believe he'll show real signs of decline soon. I can understand him coming back and fighting once or twice at 147 for financial reasons.

          He did get hit more, but it was overall an easy cruise to a UD.

          I hope he gets dusted soon, and I like the guy a little now. The talent, and apparently the work ethic is there, but as far as balls go....

            He's already showing real signs of decline. A lot of them, actually.

                I dunno, the boxing media always talks about him running out of money, his own best friend 50 Cent said he was broke and basically lived paycheck to paycheck, and it's not about being broke, it's about him spending money as fast as he can earn it.

                It creates something called a deficit or debt. Me personally?? No I don't know how Mayweathers bank looks.

                  I don't think they think he's broke. But he fought twice last year for a reason.

                  And 50 said he don't have money like everyone thinks he does.

                    Huh? that is all speculation. Floyd once said something that I think any homeowner here can understand:

                    they don't give yhou a mortgage for a $17 million dollar home if you are broke.

                    when you see him on youtube with all that money, dont assume he spends it. it goes right back to the bank.

                      And 50 Cent isn't exactly a reliable source.
