    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.

    Floyd never left. Its only been 6 months and he is getting more push than 3 AM Taco bell now. He's more visible now than ever.

    You are forgetting a Floyd v Khan

    The one we all really want to see is Floyd v Berto 2.
