I think Floyd really wants to retire as the greatest ever

[ADP02]

He didn't try to make 144 after it became apparent that he was going to have to boil it off , he said he was 146 on the morning of the weigh-in which is on target for that weight and that the last couple just didn't come off as it normally would , he just came off 2 yrs lay off that's why he didn't make 144 , he thought his body was just going to behave as it normally would ,,, 2 yrs earlier , its didn't and he wasn't going to kill himself to lose it in a few hours .

If he really really wanted to make 140 and adjusted his camp with that as a goal and did the full drying out phase , he could do it , but he would have to really work at it , at his age and point in his career Floyd is not going to start trying to make light weights .

Excuses excuses.

According to Reloaded:
- It's hard for Floyd to lose the 2lbs.
- It's hard for Manny's opponents to lose the weight.
- It's easy for Floyd's opponents to lose the weight.

**** 3 more fights if he faces and beats Martinez to become Lineal MW champion of the world just retire. There is literally nothing he can do that can enhance his legacy after that.

Floyd will never be the greatest, its to late to do it, if he fought Pac 3 years ago and beat him then he falls in the top 20 at best.

[PAC-BOY]

He will never retire as the greatest ever. Not until he fights Manny!

Beat danny at 140 and sergio at 160 and ward at 168 and then you can make a real argument that he is.

I still think the sheer number of SRR's wins and his resume and ali's resume will always be greater.

Ward at 168 is a bit much. I can agree with trying to get the Lineal LWW and Lineal MW championships though. Especially against Sergio Floyd would be as close to people thinking he could lose as you can get. I mean the guy has to stuff his face just to get to 150. That would be quite the accomplishment.

And i think he will go go that Jugular vein...Roger has mentioned it and has others "THE LINEAL MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE" he will go for it before he retires i feel it

wanting....this is something like a goal...you have to work on it....face it that you need to step up to the challenges...and prevail....much better if you prevail convincingly..

He will never retire as the greatest ever. Not until he fights Manny!

not even a win over manny will make floyd the goat...

[LeG00N]

His best wins would be


Castillo in the rematch
Corrales
Hernadez
De la hoya - past it and coked out
Martinez?
past it Cotto?
Hatton at 147?

that's not a GOAT resume

Not when Pacquiao has

Morales x2
Barrera x2
Marquez x2
Cotto
Margarito
Hatton - Lineal


that alone destroys Floyd's resume

Martinez already offered to drain himself to 150 and give Floyd an 80-20 cut, ****** ass. Your fraud of an idol will never fight Sergio.

But of course Floyd will always get the benefit of the doubt
