NOBODY on this boxing forum or any boxing fan in the entire world can say they would have done anything differently than Floyd in his last fight. They would have fought McGregor too. It was strictly a business decision. 300 million dollars for (1) fight and then you can ride off into the sunset. WE would have done the same thing.
But I also believe he could have gotten to 50-0 fighting a contender “right after” the Berto fight which was in 2015. I believe he could have trained hard (1) more time and pulled it off with his experience against a Porter, or Garcia, or a rematch with Manny. I really believe he could have decisioned any of those guys (1) last time. But I don’t believe he would have beaten Spence or Thurman because he was declining. He may have gotten embarrassed. But I wouldn’t put it past Floyd beating either of them because he was very smart inside the ring. Very battle tested and experienced.
But by the time he fought McGregor, he was out of boxing for almost (2) whole years. He basically made a business decision we all would have made if we can be honest. 300 million, let’s do it!!
