This "retirement" thing is starting to get a little bit like the "I was poisoned/drugged" thing. Everyones saying it. No one not even Floyd (I don't think) thought he was serious, and no way is SSM serious. It seems to be a way to get good big money fights quickly these days. Soon we'll have guys "retiring" after 2 fights only to go to come out of "retirement" 40 times before they finally hang them up.

But I think its good Floyd is fighting Hatton, an undefeated fighter who is certainly not past his best and IF he wins should get a lot of credit. Then he needs to take on SSM and in my view he will have walked the walk.
