Would it have been better for floyd to have gone out on his shield

Money was more important than legacy, so for Floyd, he made the move that coincided with his values. Trouble is, he insisted on labeling himself TBE, and his fan base sang along.

it was a pathetic way to end a great career. fighting someone who was 0-0 with no boxing experience, farcical

[HURTFEELINGS]

Berto was a former two-time World Champion. Most Successful boxer in HISTORY, Undefeated, 4 of 5 top PPV EVENTS, most Champions faced and beaten last 3 fights +300mil(pac), 36mil (berto), +150mil (connor)
Nah he did exactly what he was supposed to do

+100 Mil for your final fight. WHAT DUMB@SS MF turns down that type of money, how many other boxers would turn down +100MIL? Hold this L

Because the fact he didn't makes people think that is how he has conducted his whole career. Basically cherry picking to the end.
Look at David haye last fight. That's how it should be. Floyd went out on his terms? But that's his problem everything he did in his career was under his terms.

Floyd did it ALL. He is the ONLY boxer in HISTORY that BEAT boxing. Swallow your L like a man, or should I say woman....LOL

David Haye fought a guy who wasn't ranked in the top 20 ******.

But haye never claimed to be the best, or wasn't defending reputation for being the best.
Floyd was supposedly the best. So why not fight spencer, brook etc etc?
It's better for his legacy to not have cherry pick fights to end career as that stays in memory..Ok, he cherry picked for the majority of his career in countless critics opinions. But floyd could have made statement in last fight.

[j.razor]

well it's not like he's still hanging around calling himself tbe but not fighting the best opposition. he's a guy who always took calculated risks...why would anyone expect him to be different at the end of his career. he knew he was slipping in his last couple fights, which is why he chose to fight andre berto and call it a day. can't be on top forever.

Everyone that took those "calculated risks" LOST....LOL....so I guess this is how you guys TRY to discredit this man that accomplished more than anyone in the history of the sport? LOL....You guys kept on for 20 years & kept failing....LOL....It's called insanity.

The money came from winning & he was fighting fighters on win streaks. Floyd would of beat the snot out of Dempsey too. Conor can beat Dempsey....LMMFAO!

calm down...not everyone who doesn't s*uck his **** is a Floyd hater. his career trajectory lined up with a lot of very good/great fighters, but he fought nearly none in their primes...is what it is. I'm not blaming Floyd for that, but it's the only thing he lacks compared to some other atg fighters. think about how many critics would be silenced if he had fought and beat pac in 2010.
