    Good well thought out post. To summarize it, it is imperative for floyd to face this midget(now his certified inner demon) -- the sooner the better, he isn't grounded or secure enough mentally to hold on to this inner demon forever. We all notice that he is always at the breaking point (those odd constipated cringing look followed by some broken record non-sensical rehearsed excuses that he didn't notice himself, told in a panic, heart pounding, irritating way is the non-verbal cue or evidence of him almost at breaking point of anxiety) whenever he is asked about manny, --which indeed phonetically sounded like money. 'Good lord it even attached itself to floyd's own chosen monicker perfectly.'

    The problem of retiring without fighing manny for floyd is that, as soon as he retires, after a couple of years, floyd will lose influence in and out of the boxing community, this is not a theory or speculation, this will really happen whether he wants it or not. He will soon lose all that influence, power and hold over most of the people that is protecting him now, and when that happens, -- EVEN HIP HOP WORLD AND ORDINARY FRIENDS WILL BE ASKING HIM 'WHY DIDN'T HE FIGHT MANNY? WHY DID HE DUCK AND RETIRE WITHOUT FIGHTING THE BEST OFFENSIVE FIGHTER OF HIS ERA TO TEST HIS BEST DEFENSIVE SKILLS? These sample questions and whole lot of variations of it, will be raining upon him forever, left and right, and so, to counter this, he will seclude himself socially from the world, refusing to almost all interviews; he will be in a very small world of his own, pretending to be happy when awake but always and forever depressed while trying to get some sleep, slowly but surely losing all the money he got from the fight because of his lifestyle and ego maintenance. Really, it's all downhill for him mentally and financially once he retires. Well I guess downhill is a soft word for what it really is, 'Free fall' is the right term as soon as he retires.

        This poll just proves the IQ of the posters here. If you think Manny stands a chance in hell, just watch the floyd-marquez fight again and scratch your head. I am both a floyd and manny fan but am a realist, first. Mayweather is just too much for even pac, who beats everyone else at welter (including marquez in a 5th fight). Manny is gonna whoop bradley, then prov and hopefully become self promoted and co-produce this fight with several parties, which could mark the beginning of the end of "the cold war".

            If these two were fighting in the 80's or 90's era of boxing they would have had a rematch, possibly even a rubber match by now. Sadly, Mayweather's superiority complex is conflicting with his ability to reason. The man's ego is the size of a hot air balloon filled with an air of insecurity.

            At this point in his career, a victory over Pacquiao will forever be discredited by true boxing enthusiast. The way he sees himself is in contrast with how the fans view him, and when the dust finally settles, it will be the fans who decide where he stands in boxing.

            Mayweather's determined to preserve his undefeated record at the expense of his legacy, in addition to remaining completely oblivious to the demands of boxing fans around the globe. This decision has tainted his career and will overshadow his every thought after retirement.

                It all depends on the next bradley fight tbh, should pac win that convincingly, it simply has to be mayweather or marquez next.

                  this has been said for every fight after Cotto. When are people going to learn that Floyd simply will not fight someone who poses a physical advantage over him?

                    Yeah I know but at this stage both really can't mess about any more! they simply don't have that luxury anymore. It really is now or never.

                      floyd disrespects pacman at every turn. the ped claims, the downgrading of pacs accomplishments. watch mike tysons broken back interview.

                      at 1 min 40 seconds mike explains why fighters should fight each other especially relevant given pacs tax issues.
