Probably hand issues. But he was afraid of Margarito.
That is indisputable. Cotto? Nah, not so much. But Margarito. Hell yeah. Williams? He didn't want to fuck with Williams. But his hands were probably fucked up. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't do much boxing at all during his retirement period. Anybody have any information on this? |

Im 100% certain Mayweather would've put on a clinic against Margarito back around then. Margarito Just came forward in straight lines and would've ate right hands all night. Cotto was getting the better of him handy enough in the first 6 rounds before he gassed out and the handwraps of he cheating cunt didnt do Cotto any favours either.

I think he retired because there wasnt a massive draw for him to fight and i dont think he thought he could make a big fight with any of the guys out there
Then Pacquiao becomes a big draw so Floyd comes out of retirement Mosley comes out on top of the pile that included Williams Cotto Margarito Cintron and Floyd fights him Floyd and Pacquiao didnt wind up fighting but they both used the attention surrounding them to fight lesser guys for big money If Pac and Floyd didnt make what they make vs the lesser opponents they probably would have fought twice by now but since this Pac Floyd drama has so much buzz and attention any time they fight someone else its huge and i dont think either wanna burst the bubble by fighting each other yet |

Floyd would have dominated in the way Manny did, use the ring use angles avoid the slow plodding Margarito and score points at high accuracyI doubt he would do the same damage but the domination would be similar |

I mean, shit...Floyd lost out on hundreds of millions of dollars by letting Margarito take all his damn money. So, the only excuse is, Floyd's hands were fucked up and he needed time to heal. Other than that, there is no excuse unless Floyd was tryin to pay Margarito. |
