    Exactly! Why aren't people calling for the recently retired Bradley to fight Thurman, Spence, Porter, or Crawford? Floyd is 40 and retired, he came back for a cash grab that any old retired fighter would have taken. Floyd is 40 and people were calling him a coward for retiring because he was avoiding the young fighters but Bradley at 33 gets all this praise for retiring early.

      I mean money is a huge f#cking motivator to do a lot of things unplanned. So I think its more of a possibility then most would say or even Floyd would probably say now or on Aug. 27, but I think another $100M+ payday is something Floyd would for sure consider regardless if he openly considered it or not.

        I've always thought this will happen... Provided Floyd wins, of course. If Conor puts his lights out, then I think he'll probably just retire unless he just doesn't want to retire on a loss.

            Best answer. Greened!

                I'm a huge Floyd fan but I think he should fight Canelo again, but only if Gingerman can get past 97G. Would definitely be another easy 100 million for him. a lot of morons believe that too "green ****" and all the other bull**** excuses Oscar has been making for the embarrassing defeat Canelo suffered to Floyd.

                  I think this is going to be the final fight, but he may consider Canelo just because of the money aspect. It's the only fight that could bring him another $150-200 million so I think he will consider it. The GGG fight won't happen because he's just nowhere near as big of a draw or as well known as Canelo. Like it or not Mayweather has earned the right to pick his opponents and GGG makes no business sense. I don't want to see it though, first fight was so easy! I can see a rematch being more competitive but the first fight was a total domination.

                      Nah, he wouldn't do it. He's only cashing in with Connor because it's easy work and will get this 50-0 victory.
