      I think most have & most do. Mayweather will be an anomaly if he actual stays retired with the amount of money he can make & the fact he's still winning. Usually guys quit being able to make piles of money or they ride it til the wheels fall of. Floyd is clearly still able to make money after pocketing at least a quarter of a billion dollars last year & still winning obviously. Think only a few people in boxing have done that, ironically Marciano, Mayweather's record twin, would be one of them.

      As a person who'd like to see more guys retire than still fighting at advanced ages I'm hoping Mayweather stays retired.

        I was far from impressed and Berto is a guy he should be completely destroying.

        Barely any offense in the fight at all he's clearly close to shot now. All he has is a good Defense and a jab that's it.

        Perfect time to retire. Last Saturday really showed that honestly it was sad to see Floyd look that poor In my honest opinion.
        When he tried to do that shuffle thats all i needed to see to know it was over,lol

            The whole reason hes retiring is because he doesnt wanna end up punch drunk.. Not like he needs money or has anything to prove. Plus hes way past it

              I agree, it's sad seeing my favorite fighter RJJ still fighting on in remote locations in Russia against cans. I wish he had hung them up after the 1st Tarver fight before he started getting beat up.

              If Floyd retires, which I don't think he does, props to him for getting out while he's still at the top and in good physical shape.. I guess Joe Calzaghe would be the last one that had done that a few years back and he never came back...

              I'll never understand the defensive nature of some of these posters on here. I'm not the biggest Floyd fan but I'm mature enough to know the guy is an ATG and the best of this era by a mile. No need to come to his defense in every single thread fellas

                  The last time Floyd looked reps sharp IMO was Ortiz.

                  He's been declining fast since then.

                  It's a shame that only lasted 4 rounds, wish it went the whole way.

                    Sure Floyd can rake in huge money and do big #'s, but does it benefit us fans? No. It benefits the fighter/s, promoters and networks.
                    That's not what you said. You claimed "boxing prospered." So either you were caught in a lie or you don't know what "prospered" means.

                      So you use the irrational behavior of Khan, a man who gave up paydays to chase one that wasn't promised, to then blame all other WW fights that didn't happen on floyd.

                      You are a like a chick that breaks up with her man then blames him when she gets an STD going from d1ck to d1ck.

                      Come on man.
                      Please point out where I blamed this on Floyd....
