In 2008 did Mayweather leave boxing because the welterweight divsion was dangerous

I have no idea why he retired,but Tony would have beat his ass down.

Paul Williams would have laid an ass whooping on Floyd to.

No, and this reveals how new people are to the sport. Mayweather contemplated his retirement during the DLH promotion, Hatton's mouth wheeled him back in but if you remember correctly during the Mayweather-Hatton 24/7...all he talked about was how his body was falling apart and how he needed time off.

The fact that people can be critical of a man's choice to take time off, especially in this brutal sport, shows how immature the lot of you are.

He needed time to get cleaned up from the peds and since a lot of people were on to him, he went to Europe to find better and untraceable peds. He ducked the real threats and only came back to cherry pick because his the A side?

TBE is nothing more than EBT spelled backwards but since Floyd can't read he got his acronyms backwards. Fool thinks thinks his the best but he has everyone in Vegas on his sack that's why he doesn't fight outside of Vegas! If the fight is at 147 then wear the 8 oz gloves. The 154 title don't mean nothing in this fight. You ain't fighting no 154!

I mean was he scared of a prime undefeated Cotto and also did he avoid Paul Williams???

I remember when a radio interviewer asked about Paul Williams he became avoided even mentioning his name????

Do you really think in 2008 when Paul was WBO Welterweight Champion Mayweather would have beaten him or a prime undefeated Cotto.

Also after Cotto 1st loss to Margacheato he never was the same person again. I started to tattoo himself and he broke up from his uncle's training camp.

Yes and yes.

P-Will was the most criminally overrated fighter ever.

Just look at Leonard's gay ass

Seriously, just look at him. What a ****ing creep!

Money Mayweather was the picture of a young man who retired prematurely because of fear. Fear of losing. He must have thought about it for months. This is his bread and butter. It's his life. There was absolutely no reason for him to retire other than...

Of course he did Margarito would have ended his career with those Plaster fist. Paul Williams would have b1tch slap him at least 100 times per round. The Best ever at avoiding a risk

Good Post

Glad you liked it and I forgot to mention that:

Mayweather is not making history by defending his 2 titles, his ridiculing boxing!

He left to maximize his earning power and marketability. It worked. He and cotto both made 4-5 times what they would have for the fight in 2008. Felt bad for Paul but he was high risk, no reward then got upset by Quintana which really hurt his chances of landing a big money fight.

Get over it, move on.
