In my personal opinion for what ever it is worth, If Floyd does or does not retire really matters none to the sport.

He does not take the top fights of significance. I am sorry but his fight with Oscar really meant nothing to the landscape of the sport. It was more out of interest then anything. The title was vacated almost immediately and Oscar really did not defend it anyhow.

Floyd does not fight the top or should I say most dangerous guys in the game. Yes Hatton was ranked P4P top 10 at the time but fact is it did little to the landscape of the sport. Hatton was going back to 140 win or lose. Again the fight perked interest but did little for the sport as a whole.

I think the top man in the sport should be fighting the top contenders on his heels. That means in his division. It does not mean novelty bouts and that is how you can class the ODH and Hatton bouts.

Miguel Cotto is fighting the best he can, Antonio Margarito is fighting the best he can. Wlad Klitschko is doing his best to unify. Manny Pacquiao has fought the best for several years now and has even sought out a new division of bigger men to help improve his stature and the sports scenery.

Floyd Mayweather has talked a lot and played dress up with the WWE. He even likes to have us think the KO over the Big Show was legit instead if just entertainment value.

As far as I am concerned good riddance to him. He is like a little kid looking for attention. Retire don't retire. Make up your mind instead of just making statement s to see if you will be missed and then try to make a dramatic return to the sport.

Floyd is ranked the best but in truth when was the last time he fought the best?
