Rappy Veteran Posted June 6, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2008 Welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr has announced his retirement from boxing.Widely considered boxing's best pound-for-pound fighter, the 31-year-old retires unbeaten with a record of 39-0. The American's final bout was in Las Vegas last December when he knocked out Britain's Ricky Hatton to retain his WBC welterweight crown. "This decision was not an easy one for me to make, because boxing is all I have done since I was a child," Mayweather said in a statement. "These past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport." how long will this last?

JAbad28 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I agree, he'll be back.. Just for the money. The thing is, he's not a people fighter, he's a money fighter. He's undefeated yes, but he's boring! He doesn't make it entertaining.

digipoi Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 But boy does Floyd know how to win. I'm no fan and not having the satisfaction of seeing him on his rump is killing me. I won't deny him though.
