    Floyd currently earns more money in one year (two fights) than Hopkins has made for his entire career. So if he's still fighting in his late 40s he's pissed away some serious wedge.

    And all that "hard work and dedication" shit would look super silly.

    Just because he's making more money than ever before doesn't mean he isn't spending it faster too. Don't forget he gets to keep less than half of the amount he grosses after taxes and all his people get paid. And when you bet six figure or bigger sums on sports games all the time the rest might not last much longer either. He was heavily in debt before the Marquez fight and may not be much better off now. There's a good chance that we eventually may not have to speculate what a late 40s Floyd would look like in the ring.

    I can not imagine it but I did not think with all the wealth Holyfield amassed he would be fighting at nearly 50.

    He may be like Hopkins and do it for the love of the game.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    With the advancement of sports medicine and hormone replacement therapy, who knows what's possible?

    Problem is, Floyds style doesn't revolve around cheating. Holding, mauling head butting etc...
