Don't care for the article either. As if there is some onus on any fighter to better the sport over their own well being? Of course we'd all like that, but it's a laugh really. Boxing is a cutthroat industry, fighters should all take every measure they can to look out for themselves alone. Floyd talks all kinds of shit, of course he is a hypocrite if you take it at face value, but he has handled his career tremendously.
He has actually managed to increasing his earning power umpteen times while becoming less dominant and less exciting than he was in his prime. Whether or not FLoyd even believes he is "tbe", he IS the most successful boxer of all time, and I suspect that is slightly more important to the man when it's all said and done. What happens to the sport when he retires should only concern him as far as his own promotional interests, which obviously Canelo isn't one of.
