where Floyd has seemed able to continue training at a high level and not losing focus

Mike fell apart outside the ring completely, in training and personally

but Floyd's outside the ring antics get more and more bizarre

His end will be Buster Douglas like, an opponent no one gives a chance getting that 3 seconds you alluded to

could be someone like Maidana

"At some point along the way, the “Money Mayweather” persona shifted from being merely a promotional tool to sell fights into an integral facet of Floyd’s personality, nearly turning him into a caricature of the persona itself."

completely agree, the heel he would become for promotion now seems to be who he actually is

18 months? has he officially said he his retiring?
