Yes..
Its easy to be brief and keep it quite simple..
Floyd has always fought great competition.. Looked good.. And has been extremely rarely touchable..
But.. has made some mis decisions probably based on the impression i as a fan of boxing get which is that he has fought certain fights and taken certain directions based on money and titles when he could easily have taken other fights that could have done more for his career then the money in his wallet or pretty new wbc title could have done..
What im saying is..You cannot fault him taking fights with the great likes of castillo, even rematching castillo, corales, chavez , judah etc.. All great fighters..
But at the same time he could have fought the frietas' the casamayor's the hatton's and added so much more to his legacy...
Somewhere along the line he has missed these fights which could have been the morales to barrera and the ward to gatti...
Hes never had that extremely entertaining, legacy building fight to stick him up with the all time greats...
I mean honestly.. If de la hoya doesnt show for the bout, doesnt put up a fight.. or mayweather just blows him out...
I can bet that mayweather doesnt get his props.. If the fight isnt entertaining.. then he'll probably get hated on more then he gets his props..
and the retirement thing doesnt do him much favours either
Peace
