I'm more interested to see who climbs to the top now, Mayweather dominated for far too long.

And I'm a big Mayweather fan
Agree with this.

Mayweather Jr has had the the top of the 140/147/154lb divisions in a state of virtual paralysis for the best part of a decade.

There are so many high quality matchups in the offing (especially at 147), but the top guys have all been sat by their phones for 8 years hoping that Mayweather Jr phones them up for a fight!

Even Gennady Golovkin at 160 has been waiting for a call!

If he has actually really retired (which I don't believe for a minute), the top guys can then get on with fighting each other & not worrying about Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Let me understand you...You think it's Floyd's fault that the top contenders at 140/147&154 didn't fight one another...?!

How is Floyd responsible for these guys sitting around like gaping vaginas hoping he would choose to fight them?
It's not his fault in a direct sense in that he's told them all to wait for an email, but the way he has conducted his career this past few years has had a definite effect.

He's been the golden goose fighter with most of the belts in his loft, so it's understandable that all the top guys would want a crack at him & might not risk taking on a tough opponent just in case it goes wrong.

With him gone, it actually opens things up a bit.
