I can’t think of another current sportsman in any sport who is still talked about as an opponent at the top of the pile over 3 years after their last meaningful clash.
Massive backhanded compliment to Floyd in my opinion. No wonder he keeps talking, people keep listening.
Obviously he's one of those "He may be the last true star of the sport" kind of fighters. Similar things happened when De la Hoya and Mosley were aging out and Hopkins and Toney and RJJ were fading.


Floyd won't allow boxing to move on from him, not yet at least.


Mike Tyson was CONSTANTLY big upped "He's gonna come back, he's gonna get with Kevin Rooney and he's going to take the division over again". Hell Ike Ibeabuchi was talked about when he was getting paroled at like age 42 or some shit.


Indeed, people still have emotions for him, they love him or they hate him and that means money.




Screw a Pacquiao rematch, rematch Canelo win at 160 no catchweight, and give yourself the opportunity to really make a lasting impression on the sport winning belts from 130 to 160.....I hate Floyd, but he's smart making matches for himself and he knows what sells.


Granted his last fight was against an MMA fighter whom he carried and before that Andre Berto so who the hell knows what Floyd's true level is right now? I guess that's the crux of the matter...Canelo has grown into (with the help of the Mexican beef council) a seemingly better fighter and Floyd is just older....oh if he were to come back and lose to ANYONE it would be hilarious, I don't care if it's a decision loss or a KO I mean I'd rather it be a KO because although I thoroughly dislike Floyd I think him losing by crooked judging would suck...but if Floyd were to come back and lose it would be up there with the RJJ-Tarver II Why the fuck didn't you just retire and stay retired? Decisions.
