Floyd's ego will bring him back into the ring and his inevitable 1st defeat

Floyd critics rival his fans on making threads since his so-called retirement.

A boring fighter shouldn't have posts across various boxing forums. Seems Floyd's critics want him back just as much as his fans do.

All he has to do is just stay quiet in retirement and ride along. Its best that he stay away from saying things like "Golovkin would be easy work if not for the weight" in the boxing press or "I could stop this fight with one phone call" referring to Alvarez/Khan.

That way, nobody would make threads about him.

Floyd and SRL what ifs. Floyd and GGG what ifs, You Floyd fans are this and that,You Floyd haters cant be real boxing fans etc,all keep coming up in all the boxing Facebook pages and Youtube comments too. Some fans will always love to wave their flags take sides and fire shots.
I dont like the guy personally but his skills are undeniable.

Floyd's ability to make more money than previous P4P RJJ in his prime surprises me.
Pernell another P4P great didn't do PPV numbers like Floyd either who was a superbly skilled fighter.

Ray Leonard is a different story in that he could punch well with lightening fast combinations.

I'm leaning on Floyd staying retired. Unlike the last 5-100 fighters who claimed retirement...they didn't have a stable of young fighters to keep them occupied like Floyd does.

He seems real comfortable thus far and of course all anyone lucky enough to get an interview asks is "when are you coming back" almost immediately. At first I took it as a given that he was coming back and then I thought that although he seems like the guy that would because of ego he may also never return because of the same thing. His ego couldn't take a loss to a guy he may have toyed with in his prime. His safety first foundation has as much to do with his decision here as it did with his fighting style. Where as Leonard and Roy were fighters first and believed their prime never left them. Now I'm back to thinking that leaving on the back of Berto and that magic 50 and 0 is cause for thinking he may come back should an opportunity present itself. I'm thinking the winner of Khan/Alvarez may be that trigger.

If I had to bet I'd say he will come back for at least one more fight, I don't think there's any way he fights Golovkin or even anyone dangerous above 147 unless it's the Canelo-Khan winner. Thing is, assuming he picks a welterweight, he'd still have to be a heavy favourite to beat anyone imo.
