True, that was the biggest blown fight in boxing history. I don't blame one guy specifically for it, I think they both missed the boat on that one. It's a shame the two spoiled prima donnas couldn't be bothered to put differences aside to make the fight of the century, but whatever.
I think Floyd is a much more complete fighter than the guys mentioned though (Hearns, Hagler, Leonard and Duran). I can look at all those guys and say "well if you look here, he had a lot of trouble with this style", whereas I can look at Floyd and see that he fought and bested pretty much any style you can think of, and had the ability to adapt to his opponent and switch to plan B, C, or Z if necessary in a fight.
Back to the thread though, I say Floyd will fight 6 more times. I'd say he will do it over 2 1/2 to 3 years.
