Floyd Retires (Again)

[HattonTheHammer]

Honestly thought PBF-ODLH II was a done deal for later on in the year.

Cant believe he has retired as their were still 2-3 massive paydays for floyd to have.

I suspect he`ll be back within a year or two as the lure of either cotto in vegas or hatton at wembley will be too much for PBF to turn down.

So what now for ODLH??

[Preme]

Shame realy, had faith floyd would fight the winner of cotto/toni and then retire, not like this though, not like this!

Now what realy sucks is some fucking how pac will be the p4p #1? WHAT THE FUCK - everyone knows the guy didn't even beat fucking JMM for christ sake; few losses and draws this is no P$P#1 at all.

So this could be codwash to get more money but to be honest i think Floyd sounds like someone who just dosnt love the game anymore and to be honest does he really need to fight? he has his health an outstanding careers and a shitload of money ((more than he and his family will ever need))

i personally think he should take the Cotto fight then retire and forget all the rematch talk.

and if he dosnt fight Cotto and does retire i think he'll regret it BIGTIME

but if he aint going and this is just hot air the guy is a prick IMO

I don't believe PBF is retiring. Something tells me he's up to something no good. I think he will be back next year.

[Beanflicker]

Thats a crying shame.

Common Floyd, ONE big fight against the winnner of Cotto/Margarito and you can leave the game.

Manny Pacquiao new P4P number 1 - I'm up for it!!!

Lol!

By default,.. YES HE IS.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

I think that this is just a promotional thing. I believe that Floyd does not want to take the risk of loosing to De La Hoya, who I belive he will beat again. If Cotto beats Margarito I can hear Floyd saying "I got my motivation back ($$$)".

[JT Rock]

Though many will be harsh with the Cotto/ Margarito talk, but if the guy dosent have the desire to fight anymore then why should he?

Fighting Delahoya at 154lbs wass more dangerous than either Cotto or Margarito, no one can convince me otherwise... No way either Cotto or Margarito beats Oscar at 154 not a snow balls chance in hell. So Floyd does not fear Cotto or Margarito, no damn way!

This really sucks as a fan, but this day always comes and you never want to acknowledge it

I have high expectations for Andre Berto so I guess its time to pour my energy as a fan into him as well as Edison Miranda, David Haye Tony Margarito, Joe Calzaghe... I dont think I am ready to get on the Pac express just yet

[El Gamo]

I'm still sceptical. Imagine how much money he could have made in the sham of a rematch with Oscar. And IF he really is retiring, would he please take Oscar with him. I have ZERO interest in seeing Oscar v Winky. In fact,I though Oscar looked very poor v Forbes!

its nice to see boxers retire in good health and in good financial shape.
i see no reason for him to fight cotto its not like he has to prove anything to anyone.
there is always going to be a new opponent that people will say a champ must face before retiring to secure his legacy and if the champ beats that person then a new one will emerge it never ends.
mayweathers career is over he has secured his legacy and needs no one else on his resume to prove it.

[piye]

Let's get this right this has nothing to do with Cotto or Margarito! I mean who he does not beleive in Floyds head no one could ever beat him? It may or may not be true but I'm pretty sure Floyd believes it; he's not scared of a fight! But if the fire is gone, Surely now he is most likely to lose if he does fight?

I know that he dont have to prove anything to anyone , but to me for be the best in WW Div. without any doubt , he must had to face with the best for clear the doubt , i know that he was real good in previous Div. , but in WW Div. and JMW Div. , he would have to demostrate more with others competitive fighters..................

[Macho]

What , Why he want to retire for then to return back ?

For make Publicity , for call the Attention , for what? , I dont have any doubt that he is done , he dont need to do that , IMO maybe he want see if he could get a better offer with ODLH and who will win between Cotto/Margaro , for then return back............

To me this is an a Stupid thing , because he knows that if dont get a real good Purse with Oscar is because they know that most of Fans are not interesting to see that rematch ..............

I still thinking that this is an strategie , because try to remember what Tito Trinidad did when he retired , he did the same thing and earned some of good Purses......................

Now he knows that people want see him fight with Cotto , Margaro and others good and competitive fighters , if he do that , well he cant sit back and waiting for BEGGING..................

I voted GOOD. Don't get me wrong, I always hate to hear when a pro boxer retires like this, even if he's not all that old. But he said himself that it got to where it was mainly for the money (although that's not altogether a bad reason) and being a celebrity, and that he just lost his passion for boxing. If a fighter loses his passion for the sport, it's all over. If you have no passion, you probably won't train as hard and will end up getting dominated.

So I'm glad for him and I hope he enjoys his retirement.
