    In another video, he said that he never liked boxing, and still doesn't. He said he was pushed into it by his father and brother.

    I think if he faces any adversity in the ring, he will quit. Just my opinion.

      Yeah. I understand its a business, but its also a sport. If he doesn't really care about boxing he should probably just keep it to himself.

        That's what I've been saying as well. I think he quit with Salido.

        Dude has had way too many give me easy fights courtesy of Bob Arum. Sure he has skills but to me skills truly shine against who are a real challenge to you.

          I disagree with this, it really varies from boxer to boxer and certain factors; what age did they start, how much punishment have they taken...ect. Some guys are totally shot before hitting 30 while others are barely hitting their fighting prime around that age or older.

            I'd love to see the guy go after greatness. but you can never fault a guy for retiring.

            Pretty rare to see a guy as good as him, who doesn't really love the sport.

              I'm sure a ton of professionals are burned out, and tired with boxing. However, they have a competitive desire to prove themselves that seems to be missing with Mikey.

                  He already has a second career in law enforcement if he quits boxing.

                    he was never that much into it to begin with. he never liked it, gave it a try because of his family and found out he was really good at it. thing is lots of those guys end up staying around a long time, its like they dont appreciate it until its gone. michael moorer and jermain taylor are perfect examples of this.

                      In all honesty I never saw anything great about Mikey. I've always thought he was too cautious and never really took risk.
