Has there ever been a more inactive ATG than Floyd Mayweather Jnr ?

Not that I can think of off the top of my head.

He does my ****ing head in too, he's more businessman than boxer, I wish his talent was given to someone else, I wouldn't say it's wasted on him but he's certainly not using it as much as he should.

I can see his next play from a mile off, He wants to fight Guerrero because it's a easy fight but he knows people won't be THAT interested, so he pretends it's a warmup for a superfight with Canelo, then he beats Guerrero, makes $50 million or whatever, ****s off for 12-18 months or so comes back and repeats the trick.

He could of been an ATG as well, what a shame, Broner is the next him as well.

 

In my years of watching boxing, no, but times have changed since the likes of Hagler, Hearns etc (when I first started watching boxing at a small age). Even Pac fights more than Floyd and he's a megaster on Floyd's level (was before his last fight, and possibly the one before).

To state an obvious or two - blame inactivity on money (cash, not Floyd) and promoters, and to a certain extent TV (though this could come under the 'promoters' umbrella.

 

Who?

 

Sugar Ray Leonard? Jack Johnson was pretty inactive once he'd won the title, although I don't know how much you'd wanna consider him an ATG.

 

Oscar De La Hoya did it. Loads of mainstream fighters do it. Especially towards the end of their careers

 

Mayweather is an ATG? I guess if you're talking top 100...

 

It was the big 'retirement' breaks that struck me with Leonard.

 

You read my mind.

 

He's definitely got the skills. I'm just not a fan of how he takes his foot off the pedal against clearly worn down opponents, when he has the handspeed and energy to put them away. But I guess that's part of his 'no risks' approach to the game.

 

Can you list the number of times Floyd has been out of the ring for three or more years?
