Is Floyd finally retired?

I don't know why this is always a debate. Floyd said in one of those 24/7 showtime interviews that part of his greatness is picking his opponents. He would never pick someone he thought he might lose against. Floyd said that, not his detractors. I dislike Floyd but I can't disagree, despite his admitted cherry picking that he is one of the best of his era. I think it's a shame he dodged butterbean but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the ring one more time. The money will be on the table. No way he could wait two years and he swore up and down to Stephen A Smith that he won't fight again but I think it would be easy to lie to Stephen A Smith cause he is a twat

I believe that he more cherry picked later in his career. Early in his career, I don't believe that he did. I think that basically every fighter now cherry picks once they become a superstar. They go through fighting the best coming up and then slow down a bit once they reach the top and pick beatable opponents for the most part. That's the business of boxing unfortunately

Well to your point his statement was picking his opponents is part of his genius. He didn't say when that started but just that he did it. The worst example is berto, how the hell did that one happen.

I just think it's near impossible to make superstar status by cherry picking the beginning of your career. You have to have multiple defining fights before you get there.
