Ellerbe, did you advise Floyd to take on the cherry pick called Berto?

The fallout for mayweather after sept 12 fight will be huge....it will follow him into retirement and u know the saying your only as good as your last fight....boxing folk will criticise floyd for this fight I guarantee it.... And that's his undoing for picking berto.....he is loser either way...because if berto did shock the world and win floyds legacy is ****ed....and if he skates it as expected floyd will not get respect over this simply because he chose a tomatoe can for his last fight...and all time legends would take the hardest challenge as there coup de grace and would want to remembered ....if sugar ray leonard had announced to everybody that his next fight was his final fight would he have picked berto ? I don't think so lol

The thing is most ATGs get beat fighting the tomato can and then they retire , Floyds is just saying prior to the fight that he is retiring and like Floyd has always said he will leave boxing when he decides , Ray Robinson fought a truck load of guys that Berto would destroy , just saying .

Floyds useby date started showing its head in Maidana (1), his slide is clear and undeniable , during his career he fought and beat most everybody he was supposed to and wants to close out his career I dont see a problem , great career glad I witnessed it he was a special fighter .

The handwriting is on the wall for Floyd. Its crystal clear that his best days are far behind him. Floyd's last performance as "Floyd" was the first Chino fight. His reflexes will no longer allow him to make guys miss in close quarters consistently. His reflexes longer allow him to counter as effectively. In his last two fights, he's damn near adopted the Bernard Hopkins style of holding to blunt his opponent's attack. And basically is winning by pot shoting when fighting at a distance and locking up as soon as scores.

Mayweather is definitely retiring after this fight. After 20 years in the sport he has nothing left to prove. No fight will top Pac, money wise and any fight beyond Berto is pointless. He has hit the lottery as far as boxing is concerned, he is cashing his chops out and riding off in the sunset.

Negative.

There's always something left to prove.

And topping May/Pac money isn't the issue. Keeping it is.

Floyd's big spending and ******** lifestyle will keep him coming back to the game.

I got to laugh at how some of these FLoyd fans are trying to twist it all up to defend their hero Floyd.

Besides this not being PPV worthy, there were better options out there than Berto. If there was not then I would get it but that is not the case here. Floyd criticized other potential fighters then cherry picked Berto.

Remember folks old Tinkerbell Mayweather has " Retired for Ever" once before when the WW scene got hot & he might have been forced into some very risky fights. You cannot believe a word he says

[BrometheusBob.]

That's right, Ellerbe has big plans for how Floyd should spend his retirement.

The big nose 'knows' what's good for Floyd.

Whether its negative, the Floyd "haters" are overly concerned about this fight...moreso than everybody else out there. Even in nonrelated articles the subject turns toward FloydBerto...by who?? Floyd haters, If it wasnt for Floyds "Hater-base" nobody would give a sht about FloydBerto. Ironic.
