Comments Thread For: Mayweather: 100% Chance I Want To Stay Away From Boxing

[Combat Talk Radio]

And fans don't care anymore..........

Funny. I lost count of how many times this week TBE has been asked variations of the same question about what would tempt him to come back.

[Bronx2245]

Fighting at 40, after a 2-yr. layoff, is disrespectful to yourself and the sport! Don't go out like B-Hop! Don't go out like Tyson! Don't go out like Ali and Joe Louis! Go out on top as a champion!

[Jubei]

No more USADA he could manipulate/control.

Good. I would be itching for Mayweather to come back if I thought he would actually fight the top guys at their natural weights or fair weights, but he never did that when he was 30, so I really doubt he'll do that when he's 40. GGG-Mayweather for example is the #1 fight in all of boxing money wise and that I would like to see, bigger than GGG-Canelo.

The Pacquiao rematch would be decent too, just to see how it goes with a healthy Pacquiao. Mcgregor would also pique my curiosity. Otherwise, Floyd would never take all the other fights I'd like to see, so I'm glad he's done with boxing. The only question now is whether he will continue to ruin boxing as a promoter as he did as a boxer. sport entirely and his profits along with it. cautious boxer.

You are a perfect example of someone who knows absolutely NOTHING about boxing. A biased simpleton with very limited knowledge of how the sport of boxing works but we are here to enlighten you if you are open to it. First things first, let's disprove all the BS you just wrote:

You say "Floyd did NOT fight the top guys when he was 30": That's a bold lie and I'll give you FACTS:

At 30, Floyd fought two title holders (Baldomir and Judah), at that time Cotto and Hatton both refused to fight him and this is on record. They refused to fight him at 140 even though he was the one coming up in weight so naturally he moved to 147 and fought the two guys I mentioned.

In 2007, the biggest money for him was Oscar (who forced Floyd to fight at 154) and Hatton. And he did beat them both.
I know you'll tell us about Cotto and Margarito. Margarito was a cheat and Cotto was steal not ready for Floyd so what was next for Floyd. He took a hiatus.

JM Marquez is the one who called Floyd out and you can google this. Marquez is the same guy that beat Pacman several times so if Floyd was avoiding Pacman yet Marquez beat and KO'd Pacman logic dictates Floyd can fight Marquez, don't you think? He did and beat up Marquez. The issue of weight which will be your retort is moot because at any weight Floyd beats up Marquez and Marquez himself said that.
After that, every single fighter that Floyd faced was a legit WW or MW title holder. Has Pacman ever fought a legit title holder at WW other than Bradley who is just not a good fighter?

As for GGG, how idiotic can you be? Floyd started his career at 130Ibs in 1998 and only got to 137 8 years later. He moved up in weight 5 times and is still too small to fight guys at 154 so how does your logic tell you that he is afraid of GGG. Why can't GGG move up to Cruiser Weight or Heavy Weight because that's basically what you are suggesting.

As for a "healthy" Pacqiao that's just another obtuse statement. Pacman was throwing punches the whole fight. An injury like that would NEVER allow someone to actively fight. Also, if he knew all along that he had an injury, why NOT pull out of the fight?
Pacman is struggling with fighters like Marquez and continues to fight BUMS (Algieri, Vargas, Rios and now Horn) and yet you think he can beat Floyd? You are delusional and probably Filipino

How is it disrespectful when he has done exactly that several times and still beaten legit title holders? How? Can you explain that? Floyd is always in shape.

Floyd has never been a 40-yr. old man, coming off a 2-year layoff! Fighting McGregor for $100 million, that's easy work! Fighting a WW Champion or GGG, that's a little different! STAY RETIRED!

[WesternChamp]

yet he talks about conor every chance he gets..

[Pigeons]

GGG-Mayweather for example is the #1 fight in all of boxing money wise and that I would like to see, bigger than GGG-Canelo, but I know Mayweather will never take that fight.

[Nomadic]

Why do his clothing selection looks like an episode of the TV series Tudors?

[Bigg Rigg]

Good! Lol stay away bro. Nobody misses seeing your fights tbh. His fights were important because he was an unbeaten champion but 8 times outta 10 it was not a good fight so there's nothing to miss now that he's gone.
