Comments Thread For: Cortez: Mayweather Not Fooling Me With Retirement Talk

[uniquehump]

Everybody swore Barry Sanders was going after Walter Payton's rushing record too. He was well within reach.

Legacy sealed, physical skills diminishing with more money than he can count.

49-0 is plenty good enough.

Yeah, but to be fair, that was the type of person Barry was. His rookie season, he had the opportunity to lead the league in rushing yards and the coach gave him the opportunity to go back in, knowing that he only needed 10 more yards to go. Barry being Barry, chose not to go back in the game. Barry never cared about the spotlight, Mayweather does.

With that being said, i think Mayweather will retire. His skills have diminished, he's made tons of money and there's nothing more he can do in his career that'll raise his all time great status, unless he goes up 2 weight classes to fight ggg. I think this fight will be a good fight and there's a strong possibility that he loses this fight. I do expect Mayweather to get knocked down in this fight. It remains to be seen if he'll get up from that.

Mayweather is going to fight till Hopkins' age, as long as there are fools who pay to watch him running. everytime I watch him fighting, I keep my eyes wide-open trying to notice any of the magic of the TBE, but I seldom see anything, except in slow-mo gifs of his fans signature trying to make people understand why he won!

Every Mayweather vs X fight thread on Boxingscene goes like this:

Round 1 : Mayweather's
Round 2 : Close but still Mayweather got it
Round 3 : X is taken to the school
Round 4 : the party begins 4-0
Round 5 : X didn't do enough to win it
.
.
.
Round 12 : shutout

and when the score is announced 119-109 they start to complain about the blind referee!!

I feel like there is someone paying for those posters! hehehe

This post is all over the place, I hope you got paid for this jibberish.

Why would the best fighter and the "A" side have to go up 2 weight classes, these same casual fans that say GGG shouldn't have to go up 1 weight class to fight Ward.

Like Cortez stated, FMJ is the best a marketing. If he was to fight GGG it he would make him come down in weight and it will be Canelo all over again. With most saying GGG was weight drained and still green.

I hope Mayweather retires, I do not want to see him fight with that defensive style he has, run, run, run ....... There is only 2 fighters that the public might buy another fight with Maywesther , rematch Manny or GGG. Floyd stay retired !!!!!

Even joe Cortez can't be fooled by this fraud lol


Oh well birds wih the same feather think alike hehe

[bigjavi973]

With the way his uncle is I think he's gonna retire.

[Weebler I]

lol how do anybody knows what Floyd is thinking?

he might never fight again

I'm not sure thinking comes into it, his spending habits are well documented. The "Bad Medina make-up line" isn't going to finance that lifestyle.

That doesn't mean he will fight again

[New England]

People are so sure that Floyd isn't retiring.

Strange.

To me I think it's a very likely scenario.

floyd mayweather will be broke in 5 years if he stops fighting. i've never seen a multi millionaire with such a childish mentality about money.

I think he sees what he could become, every time he see's his Uncle Roger!
