    The logic in this post reflects your name-Bipolar.

    Choosing to retire after earning hundreds of millions and defeating everyone you faced doesn't mean he can't still fight. Manny still fighting isn't because he has great longevity, but because he needs the money to bankroll his and Jinkee's campaigns for office.

        Floyd got exposed against his pac fight so he didnt want to risk getting caught again

          Pacquiao has superior physical genes over Mayweather that allowed him to survive in a 3rd world country and then later benefit from a western diet and training regimen that rocketed him to world class status. To Mayweathers credit, he grew up in a family that was well educated in boxing. You could say his family is full of PhD’s in boxing and he utilized that and continued his family legacy.

            Floyd would rather fight exhibitions, so not even he believes he can hang at the top level.

                The steroids were catching up to Floyd. Marquez took steroids and he left soon after.

                  Even.Floyd fans say Floyd looked shot against pac.
                  Many is still fighting because of longevity and because he can at highest level otherwise he'd be losing to the thurman and brokers of this world. Fighters in their prime and bona fida names.
                  Of course him still winning Proves his longevity. Pac s proved it, Floyd is only woulda, coulda if he didn't have billions in bank already. If Floyd wasn't a billionaire he'd also prove he has longevity like Pac and bh?

                    Must be his genetics . dude has been in some wars and he's still fighting decent opposition. He's still going strong and has a gas tank for days .

                      since when is being champ for 20years at anything in life not considered long-term?

                      Just admit you and the rest of the Floyd Haters waited your whole life to see him lose in the ring.

                      50-0. ****** hater.
