2106010, Assuming Floyd's pockets are straight, what does he have to gain? Posted by AnonymousCoward, Tue Jan-08-13 09:23 AM
We keep asking him to fight bigger, stronger and YOUNGER fighters. If he beats them, we say they were overrated. There is no one out there who can help his legacy. All he can do is endanger his health and legacy.
If he hasn't squandered his loot, he should just retire.

2106019, I agree 100%... Floyd hate is too strong for logic though Posted by the_time_is_when_god...lounge, Tue Jan-08-13 09:38 AM

2106027, Nothing and I just don't care anymore Posted by JAESCOTT777, Tue Jan-08-13 09:48 AM
Only fights left are canelo and Sergio Neither would really change much with a win
Might as well call it a day honestly While he still has his wits and record
From a technical standpoint probably the greatest of all time in the fact Nobody was better at hitting and not being hit
But his resume when put up next to the other GOATS Doesn't really hold much weight
Will def be a top 5 middle/welter ever Probably a top 15 period anyway

2106032, The money is too good for him not to fight Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Jan-08-13 09:56 AM
He making well over 50 mil per fight at this point
He seems like he's smart enough to know when to stop
But there's still a bit too much money on the table

>But there's still a bit too much money on the table
Until he loses. So at some point he's gonna have to go ahead and leave that money on the table, unless he wants to lose that perfect record.

2106055, why would anyone assume an athletes pockets were straight? Posted by southphillyman, Tue Jan-08-13 10:21 AM
especially one that basically documents his gambling addiction and splurging habits for all to see fight once a year make 30 mil after taxes or whatever and chill and floyd has said in numerous interviews that he isn't worried about legacy. he's fighting for the money and that's been consistent with some of the decisions he's made over his career so let him do him yall asking questions he already gave the answer to
why he's going keep fighting bigger opponents is kind of obvious .....to maintain profits as of now canelo's resume leaves much to be desired but it's the biggest purse out there not involving pac/arum if there were smaller fighters out there with an established gate presence like canelo at this point i'm sure he'd give them a look

2106057, Nothing, which is why he retired before. Ironic he came out of Posted by bentagain, Tue Jan-08-13 10:27 AM

2106338, as long as he gambles like he does, his pockets will never be Posted by El_essence, Tue Jan-08-13 01:13 PM
straight enough to retire when he can still make big money.

2106343, I never got the feeling that he has a gambling problem Posted by AnonymousCoward, Tue Jan-08-13 01:16 PM
he's a flashy dude who lives in Vegas and who can't eat and drink like crazy.

2106432, Right Posted by SeV, Tue Jan-08-13 02:12 PM
Plus he ain't in vegas trying to get lucky on the tables
He bets odds on sporting events
He'll lose his ass every once awhile
But dude makes pretty safe bets and wins
I kno a dude personally who basically makes a living off that ish ____________
