GGG offered to fight him at 154, where Floyd was champ after beating CaneloYou think Floyd was going to fight at middleweight? Against a Kazakh guy who didn't have a significant win on his record? There were plenty of challenges for Floyd at welterweight, he ducked tons of guys over the years, he's still an ATG but he didn't retire because of Golovkin that's a joke.
No, there were no great challenges for him at welterweight, aside from unproven Keith Thurman or unproven Brook, both had only fought bums and C levels at that point. There were no Spence or Crawford making noise in the division back then
There were no great challenges for him at SWW either, he had already beaten ginger, and a fight with Lara lost any little interest it once had after Lara got beaten by Nelo
So GGG was the next logical challenge for "TBE", fans were already putting the pressure on him, Floyd wanted none of that, so he decided to call it a day before looking like a ducker againComment

When you’re an up and coming pro boxer in their early 20’s and a promoter comes to you offering you money and a chance at a world title you’re not gonna say “no, you robbed mike Tyson, I’m going to stay as a club fighter and see if another criminal promoter wants to sign me. If not, guess I ruined my only chance at a boxing career!”
Same reason people sign to record labels when they get pennies for every $20 earnedComment

Don wouldn’t have made him take that chance, Vanes jumped at it, chances are Don isn’t getting him work after that though, and he was likely “guaranteed” a good fight or two at 154Comment

Vanes was with Al Haymon bruh. He *****ed and complained that he was inactive and went with Don King so what you said dont apply to looney Vanes.When you’re an up and coming pro boxer in their early 20’s and a promoter comes to you offering you money and a chance at a world title you’re not gonna say “no, you robbed mike Tyson, I’m going to stay as a club fighter and see if another criminal promoter wants to sign me.
