So, Floyd Mayweather has retired, again!.
I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking that what he probably means is…”I’ve retired (unless something interesting crops up!)” It seems the five-weight champion is no longer ‘happy’ to fight and retires at the height of his game with a perfect 39-0 record.
It’s a shame that we won’t be seeing the re-match of De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, supposedly scheduled for 20 September 2008, and the hunt is now on to find another suitable opponent for the Golden Boy.
I also wonder what Ricky Hatton is thinking now, his defeat being the last of Mayweather's victories - Hatton has made no secret that he too wanted a re-match with the ‘Pretty-Boy’ next year.
But, then again - ‘Money’ Mayweather can’t resist a tempting offer and having retired before - I won’t be sending a card just yet!
