FIGHTHYPE \\ FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.: "IT'S OBVIOUS I GOT TO THIS POINT DOING SOMETHING RIGHT"
Trying not to read too much into it, but I would have thought he would have been one and done with Shane. Unless he feels it will be another ricky hatton easy 20million..
Floyd says of himself that he is "an entertainer period". Absolutely, the Baldomir fight was the finest example of boxing entertainment ever. That one had me really on my toes. Playing it safe and toying with a blown up Marquez had me ready to explode with wonder and delight too. I respect Floyd a lot as a fighter, but is he heck an entertainer. Arturro Gatti was what I call an entertainer. Someone who let it all hang out in the ring and even if he lost he gave you your money's worth. Floyd does just enough and with his defensive style is never going to be an entertainer in the way a boxer should be. As much as I respect Floyd, I actually find him quite boring to watch, especially when he's in fights that are poorly matched like Marquez and Baldomir.
Sorry for the little rant, but that comment just bugged me a little.
I did find that odd Mayweather talking about giving Mosley a rematch. Mayweather should win but Mosley is no walkover. I like watching boxing for the science of it and Mayweather is the epitome of boxing. Hit and not be hit. And even though Mayweather is tough to like personally he is right that he is doing something right. He does receive the best paydays and produce the most PPVs. But if he wasn't so talented he would probably be looked at as another Tarver. Having more talent in the mouth than in the body.
I agree with Miles - Floyd is not in the boxing business to entertain, he is in the boxing business to make money.Quote:

He's the pound for pound best and no one will beat him.

UNLESS
Being P4P means nothing to him as long as he is entertaining:D
i'm comfortable with my sexuality so I can say I love floyd.
Manny WAS pound for pound best. Her got the title by default when floyd retired. Floyd's back now so time to give it back.
Also look at the now. Floyd is fighting Shane Mosely, Manny opted to fight Josh Clottey. Nuff said.
Floyd is the man.
After Manny beat up Cotto don't forget. That was a risk fight, vs Mosley isn't as he knows his style will win.Quote:

Even Mosley knows he's going to lose!
It's a risk fight by Floyds standards, certainly better than him fighting Matthew Hatton!

If floyd hadn't retired would the mythical title have changed hands? no. Simple.
Talking up a rematch with Shane is Floyd talking out of the side his mouth. It's like a code done through the media for a message directed at Pacquiao. its the equivalent of "Drop the suit.. Take the tests, Lose the roids...If not I have options...F_ck you... What are you gonna do, fight Clottey again?"
