Precisely. Even respected writers don't have that kind of logic. Congrats, your smarter than most of the boxing writers today.

It's because Floyd doesn't want to work for his money, much like Roy Jones Jr. didn't when he was in his prime. Floyd just wants easiER money.

He's a businessman FIRST and a fighter second.

But it's the risky businessman who makes a lot of money.

Just as Roy Jones was always jealous of Oscar's huge paydays, when he could have been competative with Oscar's paydays long ago, if he had Oscar's appetite for being consistently involved in eventful fights.
