i don't believe him, he is just too greedy to stay away from boxing knowing he can still make millions and millions of dollars

It's been all of 2 1/2 weeks since Floyd Mayweather officially announced his retirement from the sport, yet he remains in the public spotlight. On Tuesday, it was in the role of lead promoter for the most recent edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC): Toe-to-Toe Tuesday on Fox Sports 1 at The Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I believe this.

Hes done !

People talk about Bertp Ortiz Guerrero and Maidiana and whom exactly did they beat to earn a fight with Floyd? Oh that's right Floyd told you there were worthy.

ALL were ranked #3 at welter, other than Berto, who used to be #3.

Victor Ortiz = WBA world champion and defeated undefeated version of Berto

Maidana was WBC world champion and and had just defeated an undefeated version of Broker, who was hailed as mini Floyd

Guererro was wbc interim champ and therefore Floyd's mandatory, he was also a post jail tune up

Berto is a two time former world champ and tried his best to get the sweepstakes, being a two time champ at welterweight is proof of that.

Khan is nothing at welterweight, no ones mandatory, not current or former champion, at welterweight, nothing! He, like bertontried to get the mayweaher sweepstakes, difference is tho, Berto tried the right way, by taking risks and winning titles at welterweight, Khan tried hard only with his mouth and twitter account.

However, I believe that Khan is now gone. His decision to fight PAC to lure Floyd is proof that he has woken up from dreamland and manner up. Its his own fault it has come to this for not fighting brook (he would have had legitimacy if he became IBF world champ and was coming out of one of the biggest fights ever made in england, would have had the name, the fanbase, and the world title, all three things that Floyd looks for when making a big fight for his ppv sales).

If he beats Pac, he will finally have legitimacy at welterweight, however, he still can't call Floyd a duck coz he's retired already. Had he fought and Bea brook in april instead of Alfieri, and Floyd fought Berto and retired, then Floyd would have been a duck for sure.

If however Khan beats PAC, AND (NB), Floyd comes back and fights anyone else for his 50, then he is a duck. So the key point is that Khan beats a top welter like PAC or brook and that Floyd actually comes back from retirement.

Don't underestimate how much that unbeaten record means to him.

And what Exactly makes GGG a better Candidate than Cotto? Canelo?

Pac's Legacy is not better than Floyd's Legacy. Get it straight.

Do we really need to revisit Floyd back to the Day's of Corralles and Castillo to prove his hunger for fighting top opposition? Let's not revisit that, please

Beating GGG at 160 would be better than beating CW Canelo and Cotto coming off beatings to Pac. Miguel coincidently made a name for himself at 147 so Floyd beating him at 154 will be put into context. GGG is the feared one isn't he, so anybody would know Floyd beating GGG is better.

Corrales and Castillo is good opposition, but again, historically they will be seen in the context they deserve to be seen. Nothing more or less. They aren't no SRL or Durans or Pacs or JMMs. But there seems to be a cut off point and low ceiling that FLoyd wont go beyond. Floyd cant be on SRLs level for instance because there probably isn't an opponent on Floyds resume SRL wouldn't stop within 10 rounds. Im not sure how a bad shoulder Pac would do against SRL though.

Unless he fights Khan, then good riddance

What i dont understand is what exactly Khan has done that hes the best option out there? Are you implying that Khans win over Algieri(a 140lber off a loss and unrated at 147) separates him from the other WWs who have better wins at WW??? Can u explain?

I would rather see Floyd/Bradley then Floyd/Khan

I dont understand this fascination with Khan/Mayweather.

I think that people just repeat bullshht habitually.

No idea why somebody would mention Khan and Mayweather in the same sentence.

Mayweather is waay too smart/skilled for the mental-midget Khan.

Stylistically he gives Floyd a test, theres a reason why Floyd ducked him twice, instead he favored Maidana and then Berto. What did Maidana or Berto do to earn their shot?

Stop changing subject. This is about Floyd wanting to be TBE. Its not about GGG. If Floyd wants to be TBE he needs to challenge himself and take a risk. He wants to be up there with Duran, SRL, Ali and Pac doesnst he? For starters Duran was the greatest lightweight of all time as well as beating Barkley, pushing Hagler close and beating SRL. What does Floyd bring to the table? He brings to the table a reputation for cherry picking and not having beat many great prime fighters.





GGG never claimed hes TBE as far as I know? He may want to become the best middleweight ever, therefore I would stay at middleweight for now and not challenge Ward. Floyds outgrown 4 divisons without having fought anyone of note. The only real greats are Pac, but hes smaller than Floyd and coming off of a loss to JMM. SO if that's Floyds claim to fame, he needs to get in the ring with GGG at 160 already. Not tomorrow or next month....already.

Im getn the sense that ur rating GGG for his potential instead of rating him for what hes done(which is how boxing works). Hypothetically speaking, if Floyd was to go up to MW Cotto would be a better option than GGG. Look man, fighters are measured by the opponents theyve beat and who theyve beat. So Cotto defeated Martinez who beat Williams, Pavlik, Cintron, Barker, etc.,. I dont rate Geale for either. Then you have GGG who beat Geale, Rubio, Stevens, Monroe, Murray....you see what im getn at? Based on who theyve beaten, Cotto would be a better win for Floyd at MW. I like GGG and i know he can potentially unify the division but we gotta rate for what hes done rather than rate him for his potential, which has yet to be fulfilled...feel me?
