Thats because he ain't going to stay retired. I was like yeah ok. If he doesn't have a fight lined up in early 09 I'll say wow he really did pull a Marvin Hagler, Lennox Lewis. Until then I'll wait and see.

This does force Oscar to find another opponent and that can possibly be Cotto.

Oscar should follow Floyd's example and leave boxing to the hungry fighters.

I did, as soon as I heard that he was going to retire I did the same thing I've seen every media member to, kind of chuckle and said ah OK.

The way he announced it (low key, and out of nowhere)...and the fact that he's leaving anywhere from 15-20Million in the table made it seem real.

I'm not saying he's going to stay retired, he might. But at this point, it does seem like he needs to get away from the sport...

your hatred for Floyd doesn't allow you to be objective when discussing the man...not even in his retirement.

It will take a year from now to convince me. After that I will officially join the Hater's club. I'll have a T-shirt and all.
