Did Mayweather retire to avoid the hot ww division?

[Zaroku]

Floyd ruined PAC fans. They can't acknowledge PAC's losses. They deceive themselves into believing Manny is the Man. They are easy to tease and they come back with excuses and slow motion never before seen footage of PAC destroying every boxer he has faced. PAC has a nation behind him. A nation of blind believers seeing what they want to see.

The WW division has some young lions in it, these new lions gotta fight each other, and determine who the new king of the WW division will be. Floyd is retired, love him or hate him, he knew how to get paid, he knew how to win.

I look forward to seeing the young guns in shoot outs in the ring.

Haha good trolling

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Mayweather is almost 40 FFS....at what point did you think he should retire????? I get it, you just want him defeated by any means possible-lol

Probably explains why some idiots expect him to fight a MW fighter in GGG at Floyd's age of nearly 40.....desperate for his demise.

You do know Floyd himself once said that he could beat GGG easily, right?

Do you want to see Floyd back up his talk? Or are you not as confident as he seem to be?

Care to explain

Look at your post history and you will find your answer. Aren't you generally one of the first posters to chime In on just about every post pertaining to Pacquiao? Are your posts 99.9% of the time negative? Why do you make a point to be one of the first to post In threads pertaining to a fighter that you despise If you are not trolling?

No, I don't think so. He had a great record and an unbelievable amount of money. He is 38 years old and that's very old for a boxer. He has been a world champ from age 21 to age 38 not counting a brief retirement. He has been boxing since he was 6 years old and boxing is a rough dangerous sport that can cause brain damage. He has a promotion business to keep the money coming in. He didn't want to risk his health and wear on his body any longer. He was probably tired of training so hard the way he did. I think he made the right decision. If he keeps fighting as he continues to slowly lose his speed and skills from the natural ageing process he sure as hell is going to lose to some good young boxer. I don't think he retired to avoid fighting any particular 147 lbs. boxer or boxers. None of them seem better to me than fighters he already defeated. There was just no logical reason for him to continue fighting and several very good reasons for him to retire.

Most boxers are huge braggers and could never back up their talk. I am a GGG fan and don't think Floyd with have a prayer of beating him. I think he would knock Floyd out the same as he knocks everybody else out. GGG is too big, too young and too all around good for Floyd right now. It doesn't bother me that Mayweather never fought him and never will fight him. Mayweather is a great old welterweight and he shouldn't be asked to fight a great younger middleweight. If Mayweather was the same size and age as GGG he might beat him but right now it's not a fair fight.

Sorry abut my mistake. I meant to say I don't think Floyd would have a prayer of beating him.

He retired to maintain the 0 his legacy came to revolve around.

[deathofaclown]

The guy is nearly 40 and has nothing to prove anymore. People just want him to keep fighting until his age overtakes his skill and he loses. They will claim some sort of personal moral victory.

It's a new era now anyway. I hope he stays retired and the funny thing is, at 40, he would still school the guys of this new era.

If he did fight on and lose in the near future, it would be down to age anyway because none of the other fighters around his weight can tie his shoe laces. So even if he wanted to retire to protect his 0, so what? it's not like he's retiring young. He was p4p number 1 then retired at an age when most guys are retired or shot to pieces.

Thurman
Porter
Khan
Garcia
Brook


and not to mention a Pacquiao rematch

He did that before, but it could be he got exposed with that IV Use so every fighter is aware he's juicing and so are the fans with a brain
