Floyd Retires (Again)

[SE7EN]

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

[Hughesd]

I hope this is just talk. I will be really pissed of if he retires without fighting ethier Cotto or Mosely.

Please vote and discuss.


In my opinion, I think it's bad. He's a good character, and he contributed a lot in the boxing world.

[hitmanhatton]

im undecided really, i dont think he was as much of a big draw as many people think, never reached the level of DLH etc when it comes to popularity,

however it has robbed the fans of a potential great fight

[yvonne]

It's got to be porkie pies!!!!!Has'nt it??Of course he's talking shite again.He knows it'll start a BIG PR following by saying he is retiring.Dont hold your breath people........he's talking shite.He loves the attention and what attention is he gathering by saying things like that?I can tell you....A lot!!So im not taking it in until i see him with a cigar and a bottle of old wiskey sitting near his fire place.....until that day comes i'll never believe the hype of MAYWEATHER!!

[Deanrw]

It's good that he retired and now it will be good it if he comes back.


I see he had the WBC and Ring belts in a stranglehold. Everyone else was doing their part but everyone was pointing to him as the man to beat even though he had no interest. He was simply holding back the sport.

If he comes back, his options are reduced. He does not hold the titles to force others to come to him and he cannot play the role as the go to man. He will be forced to go after the good fights.

I don't think he will be back any time soon though, if at all.

[Dark Lord Al]

Love him or hate him , he is simply a great fighter , and that can only be good for boxing.

[yvonne]

I hope this is just talk. I will be really pissed of if he retires without fighting ethier Cotto or Mosely.

it's just all Hype....you know Mayweather,if he's not getting the lime-light in boxing then he opens his big mouth by saying stupid things!

[Trainer Monkey]

Bad,for good or for ill he's a legitimate star

[XaduBoxer]

For me it's both bad and good... doesn't matter really...

The Funny thing id no one wanted the Floyd Dela hoya fight and now you won't get it so be happy!

[TitoFan]

In all honesty Cotto has a very slim chance of beating Floyd... Based how much trouble Mosley gave Coto when using limited movement or the times when Malignaggi used movement Cotto was very ineffective in those moments. Floyd has much faster legs than either of them, not to mention defensive skills. I can't see Cotto beating Floyd.

I think Floyd said the same thing too... as he was running for the door.

[match]

Pissed at Floyd that he'd walk away from a potential Cotto fight, but much like De la Hoya will never be able to forgive himself for giving the last three rounds to Trinidad, I don't think Cotto will ever be able to forgive himself for not aggressively calling out Floyd.
