What are your thoughts on Mayweather, Jr. retiring?

If he doesn't feel the passion for the sport he once did then he might as well retire. Eventually someone hungry for fame and money will **** him up, but its a shame since he was in his prime IMO.

I Like the you made this in it's own thread because the topic can be discussed in his entirety. With that said, I think he is just taking a break from the sport.

i agree. But I'm afraid the break my become a liability. Not being active in-ring can be devastating.

It can be, but floyd is young enough to where it shouldn't affect him too much. Plus, I'm sure that he will be sparring and working out durring the layoff. I think he is waiting to see who will become the king at 147 and then he will challenge them. Hopefully it's Miguel Cotto.

I was really looking forward to Cotto vs Mayweather. I wonder if De la Hoya will keep running from Cotto.

Its a shame if a fighter of Mayweather's quality retires. As much as I was willing Ricky Hatton to do him, i had to admit i was impressed with footage of him training b4 the fight-his speed and movement were incredible. He comes across as a prize knob, but i think that is down to both showmanship and funnily enough, insecurity. Ricky said, after the fight that the 2 could be friends. While Ricky comes from a close knit family and lives near his parents and still sees all his old mates, Mayweather comes from a largely dysfunctional family. Hatton recognizes this and probably found, that underneath Maywesther's arrogant exterior he probably ain't such a bad bloke.

this is the second time he has retired and there will be at least a 3rd. He is too young, too good, and too attention hungry to hang it up for good.

If he doesn't feel the passion for the sport anymore he should do what every other guy does after dominating a combat sport: train for MMA. Every since he ran his mouth about MMA fighters not being all that tough and only fighting for 15 minutes, every lil guy in the game has been calling him out.

Also, Floyd isn't stupid. Everybody eventually loses, and if he loses in a comeback fight after "retiring", at least he can say it was the layoff.

PBF has no business in MMA and shouldn't go anywhere one of those guys. He ran his mouth but he isn't retarded. Floyd would get dominated by B level MMA guys and he is too pridefull to go out like that.

He said he didn't have love for it anymore, which he might not love it the same as he used to but of course he is goin to come back.. And De la Hoya is retiring after his next bout and I'm pretty sure he will come back again..

I seriously doubt he's gone for good, I also think he ducked Cotto and Paul Williams.

Not to mention Margarito. If he wants to retire, f**k it, retire but dont say u r retire so u can start talking shit a few weeks later. Calling guys like Pacquiao, Cotto, Margarito, DLH "bums" is playing disrespectful. I dont mind trash talk before a fight but this is not the case. I dont think hes retired. Hes just "retired" for now while he stirs the pot and hoping to get a big pay check when he comes out of retirement in a few months. Wouldnt be nice if all the "bums" in the division avoid PBF when he comes out of retirement and by doing so denying hima big paycheck?

PBF will come back, but he would school Manny Pacquiao. It wouldn't be a close fight at all.
