    If I was Floyd I would fight until I lose

    The guy is still the best out there, never gets hit, and makes good fighters look terrible.

    Why not keep going until you finally lose or your body completely breaks down on you?

    At least $64 million a year for 2 fights he could probably go for 2-3 more years the way he fights and earn another $200 million minimum.

    Throw in another Pac fight or a GGG super fight and you're looking at $400-500 million bucks..

    I'd keep it going until I couldn't physically honestly or until I finally look mortal and lose.. Neither one of those seem to be the case with him at this point.

    No logic in that and he isn't the same fighter anymore so it's pointless, you aren't gonna see vintage Mayweather anymore. He's got his health intact and that's all that matters right now.

      The logic is he's still the best out there and it's easy money fighting these guys

        No you wouldn't. What you really want is to finally see Mayweather lose. The guy said in his post fight interview "My body is beginning to break down, I think it's time to hang it up." He only threw 400 punches and still hurt his hands. He's learned from fighters in the past and has seen what can happen when guys stick around too long.

          Or is it that YOU want him to keep fighting so he can lose.

            Sometimes it may appear that way but then punches start flying closer and closer until your left twitching on the canvas.

              Obviously.

              I don't even know why people would want to see more. I saw a Mayweather that can hardly pull the trigger on his right anymore in the Berto fight tbh.

                WBC announced they are going to year round VADA testing.

                Floyd retires.

                    Floyd is deathly afraid of getting hurt. It's why he fights in the manner that he does and its why he's hanging them up. Let him ride off into the sunset so that we can get back to some real action packed fights in the WW division.

                    Floyd retired in 09 and boxing prospered. It will prosper once again.
