Floyd Mayweather, Jr. To Retire in 2007?

[Tito BHB]

If all he cares about is his legacy then he should retire today and maybe, just maybe our kids will be talking about how good he was 20 years from now. (PBF is a great fighter, but he fights washed up bums) Even if PBF did fight and beat De La Hoya, it would not mean shiet to me. I watched Felix Strum beat Oscar with one hand all night long lol

Oscar De La Hoya is not going to give PBF the satisfaction of a fight. NEVER!
PBF says that boxing revolves around him. But from listening to him always talking about Oscar De La Hoya, it sounds to me like boxing revolves more around Oscar than it does around PBF.
Floyd needs Oscar. The only way Floyd will get Oscar in the ring is, if PBF goes on a hate campaing like Vargas and Mayorga did. (We all know what happend to those guys for making Oscar angry)

I would like to see PBF fight Margarito, Cotto or Ricky Hatton. But it looks like PBF is afraid of all three of these pugs.

If he wants to retire, I say good riddance.

Floyd is afraid of Margarito, Cotto and Hatton? Let me ask you something. Does Hatton still run and hide in his closet everytime his neighbor knocks on his door and disguises his voice as either Floyd or Collazo? Thought so. Bye bye now

tell me something... how did you get to 300 odd posts mark without anyone realising your a twat?
i mean listen to you... i'll tell you what it is... none of these four are afraid of anybody...
floyd is too concerned with money and is too arogant to fight these guys and thinks he has a huge legacy already.. (more about that in a minute)

margarito is a great fighter with lots of heart and will fight anybody, he just cant go round calling everyone out!

ive never heard floyd ever mention cotto and i suspect he doesnt think cotto is in the same league as him.. think again floyd step up and prove how great you are...
cotto doesnt even make his own decisions on fights because he is so confident he can beat anybody..
his promoters try to get him the big fights and cotto takes them.

hatton is a great fighter who never ducks anybody, he has asked for alot of dollars... but dollars have to translate into pounds and thats why he asks for that much!!
and floyd is angered by the mention off hatton because he is a big name who people think could beat him whether hatton could or not is a different story.. also this is to do with floyds ego.

Problem with Floyd is that he cannot ever be Leonard. Leonard was a harder puncher and more versatile than Floyd. FLoyd is a beautiful boxer, but he is not as versitile as Ray. Ray was unique. And Ray fought the best competition possible.

Ray was also greater at paying off judges.

also..... this is another idiotic remark that just shows me you know little about boxing and if you were really a boxing fan you would spread such controversial bullshit!
its just utter crap! what in the world is this opinion even based on? ray leonard is one of the greatest..
and has a great legacy that will last forever......



And as for floyd... well what can i say...
i dont believe his remarks that he is more concerned with a legacy then he is with money..
if he were then he would have fought the creme de la crem as there has never been a shortage of great fights for floyd... and floyd has had great fights, but none that he was the underdog..
and none that people would expect him to do anyything but win.. i'll be the first to admit i was optimistic about baldomir.. but at the end of the day.. with carlos as slow as he is.. it wasnt a huge test for floyd atall... and in a way floyd stunk out the joint when he could have gone for a stoppage..
But the news is... floyd you havnt secured as great a legacy as you think...
yes you do need de la hoya... shame for you that oscar does not need you...
and if oscar were to take the fight.. it would be the single greatest challenge of floyds career...
and if oscar were to loose... floyd still wouldnt get the credit he wants because oscar is not at his prime...
i think floyd need at least two... if not three or four more fights...
oscar for the legacy....
and at least one.. maybe two or three real young contenders and true champs.. i.e margarito, mosely, hatton, cotto, that is the list to gain the real legacy... all a matter of opinion of course...
but its unlikely i'll be swayed...
Peace to my brothers...

And a well deserved for that sampson cat!!
