I hope he comes back, but until he does, i'm sick of him getting attention regarding IF he's coming back... THAT is the boring part to me... I enjoy the discussion of his previous fights and whether he'd beat this or that person if he fought them, but until his signature is on the bottom of a fight contract, he's retired for life as far as i'm concerned..
I don't think he has the love of the game of boxing like people such as Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones, and even guys like Pernell who CLEARLY aged so much and with his drug abuse and injuries, was almost like an E grade fighter when he returned into the ring for his last fights, but he got back in because he loved the game..
I think that fact Floyd was thrown into the ring from such a young age and comes from a line of boxers and was always expected to be a champion etc etc, I think he really wants to just have a big part of his life seperate to boxing.. I don't even know what i'm saying actually.. I just think he see's boxing differentely to some of the other guys that could be mentioned, and perhaps if he needs more money he'll return to the ring, but how he see's boxing and what he set out to take from it and give back to it is clearly a little bit different to other fighters... Which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all,,, but maybe he is done with boxing for good?
I would love to see him back in the ring, but at the same time, if the fact he tried to make it very clear when he retired that it was for good,,,, and it actually IS for good, then i'd love for that to be clear to everyone and the speculation to cease.. I mean how many years and how many challengers are going to come through and we're going to wonder if Floyd will come back to fight them?? It would be great to just know whether he will return or not..
So to me, he's not, until his signature is on a piece of paper..
That it all....
