    He said before the Cotto fight that he wanted 5 more fights. Now the word is he may retire, citing there isn't much in terms of opponents.

    Ploy to get the Pac fight or is seriously considering hanging them up?

    Dunno man, he did this after the Shane fight. We might have an extended absence on our hands again.

    Like I posted before, I seriously doubt he's "scared" of Pac, he even pointed out some flaws before this beef even started, but when he's felt the serious danger of losing I guess he gets paranoid

    PAC is a one dimensional bum who is easy work for Floyd, but PAC is also a health risk fight for Floyd.

    I just don't see the drastic change of heart. It's good for the sport he stick around. It be nice to see him more active. I like this version of Mayweather. Not as fast and easier to find, which makes for more exciting fights. Cotto proved that Floyd is slowing down.

    He won't fight 5 more times. I think he's probably only got 2-3 left in him and he wants one of them to be Pac before going out at the top. You won't see Mayweather fight on much longer than he has to.

    Cotto bloodied Void's nose and mouth. Pac would have knocked Void out!!! No wonder Void will not fight Pac!!! Martinez would totally outclass Void!!!

    He's most likely going to fight a couple more times. I think he will need to in order to build a proper retirement fund. I know he's made a lot, but he doesn't strike me as a guy who is particularly careful with his money. The next fight may be a "soft" opponent and then he could go for either Pacquiao or Martinez to cash out.

    He finally fought an elite fighter who wasn't really old or shot who gave him a tough a fight and maybe that made think a loss might be around the corner if he keeps fighting.

    Or maybe it's just another vacation and he'll come back May or September next year to fight Canelo.

    He always says he is going to retire after every big fight. the guy does things on impulse and says things in this way, then contradict himself all the time. He shouldnt have taken so many breaks and just fought the guys around. anyways, he is going to jail pretty soon, so he will have to keep them buttcheeks tight, because that will be his next defense.

    Lol nah he is going to jail, so I dont think he is thinking about fighting anyoine, besides bubba or some deebo looking muthafucca.
