Roach: "Mayweather NEVER left the gym, he trained the entire time"

His retirement was to make the price go up? For who? For him to face Pacquiao? That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
Pac was a nobody when Mayweather retired. It wasn't til he beat Oscar that he became an opponent to consider on Floyd's level. And that was a full year after Mayweather beat Hatton and retired. Who even really thought Pacquiao would be fighting at welter back then?

[QUOTE=QUELOQUE;6828885] It was a joke.
It was obvious to me by just looking at his arms, he had at least been lifting weight when he was off. I didn't know he stayed sparring and boxing training, but it's believable since he didn't lose his overall speed and wasn't rusty at all.[/QUOTE]
disagree completely....there were times in the JMM fight he had trouble getting off punches....how often you ever see Floyd throw and retract.....essentially false start...........NEVER!!!!

and I think he retired because there was NO Big MONEY fights out there a that time....
no matter what people want to say...A Mayweather-Cotto fight at that time would not have been a big fight.
Mayweather wants to break the PPV records and knocking off the other PPV guys.....
I could be wrong

Originally posted by silkyjohnson View PostI know the history of Pac.. I meant to say a nobody in terms of earning power and popularity compared to Floyd at the time he retired. I mean, he barely broke 400,000 buys against Marquez the 2nd time around, and those were his best #s until Oscar.

Also those 2 years he had supposedly off, he wanted to comeback at the same level, and have people say Wow he had 2 years off and he is still the same.
But PBF knows that he was training harder than anyone, its just that he didnt fight, so he is trying to con people how good he is. When he isnt retired he nearly takes 2 years to arrange a fight anyway so its not different from when he is retired.
How long ago was it when he fought JMM now? I rest my case.
