    Doubt it, unless Floyd puts on 20 lbs of muscle and then cuts it off to fight the same year.

        I doubt it. Even if he sticks around longer than he should, I don't think his fall will be as dramatic as Roy's. Roy's style was predicated on speed and reflexes. Floyd has a much better fundamental base so even if his physical gifts fade, he will be a handful for just about anyone. He could become Hopkins-like figure: loses to younger, bigger, more athletic guys but plenty good enough to beat fringe contenders.

          If Floyd retired today, Floyd would still make over 1mil + per month for the rest of his life. I know that makes a lot of so called "tards" mad. He should just let Pac starve till he's realizes its Floyds way or the poor house. Soon as pac realize Arum is gonna have him sitting in the poorhouse, saying talk to my promoter.

            Yeah,, I can totally see Floyd fighting past his expiration date...

            Will he be in Russia fighting random club fighters from Egypt and France, probably not.
            But I do see Floyd having fights similar to Roy's tarver, johnson, Tito, calzaghe


            Eventually someone will beat him (tarver), someone will upset him (johnson), he will get some cash grabbing wins over some other faded names (Tito) and then get beaten badly by a guy Floyd would own in his prime (calzaghe) and that will probably be the end of Floyd and he will probably have a record of 53-4 when he is retired

              No way.

              Floyd does not take risks like Jones Jr did.

                I would love it if that happened. I haven't watched a Roy fight since that wack Hopkins rematch a few yrs ago but I would tune into all of Floyd's fights! Just to see him get put to sleep.

                  Roy is worth 45 million dollars..why do people think he is broke?? he is not fighting for money..when you are used to being the man and getting all the attention it is hard to let it go

                    no way, I don't think Floyd would risk his "0" unnecessarily
