He retired because he set out with goals for boxing, and he achieved him... He believes that while he was fighting, he answered all the questions asked of him.. But as you learn with just about anyone's boxing career, as long as you are still in the game, there will always be someone new asking a new question... He himself felt like he'd done everything that he set out to do and needed to do, and anything more would be for other people and not himself... The final thing he wanted to do for himself was retire before he started to slide down the wrong side of prime, or retire before he fought someone good enough to beat him.... He got to a point where he convinced himself if he fought on and kept fighting the fighters others wanted him to fight, he wasn't do it for himself but for someone else..

I guess you can't be wrong in that respect if you do what you believe is right for you, and not what other people think is right for you..

And as long as Floyd believes he was right to retire for good when he did, then it looks like he'll stay retired...
