    both he picks and chooses his battles in order to stay undefeated on top of making sure he makes the most money possible.

    if you are about to retire why would you try to make the most money as possible. Shane Mosley for example, fought anybody he could. how many people going around talking about his legacy?

    Floyd already said it, health comes first.

    So health > money > legacy.

    As it should... Your health should come first in anything.

    Ask margarito...the thing that he loved to do, he can no longer do because of his health. Because of that, there goes his money

    If he only cared about money, he wouldn't have insisted that Pacquiao undergo strict drug testing. After all, that was the biggest payday out there for him.

    ROFL of course it has to be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Floyd screwed up his legacy years ago by ducking dangerous fighters & cherry picking. Really its a shame because with the incredible natural God Given boxing talent he has why wasn't he given the cojones of a champion. Had Floyd not blatantly ducked his dangerous foes , but gone ahead and fought them, he may well still be undefeated. He could today be classed among the best of all time instead of just a very talented wannabee

    you can't be serious. Floyd is ALL about the money. He never fought the most dangerous opponents he could have. His legacy is marred.:deal

    definitely damaged
    but his resume is one of the best in boxing

    this is what happens when a fighter becomes bigger than watered down federations

    you really think he's a "wannabee" and not a champion, even though he skipped some big fights?

    talented wannabee?so jones jr. calzaghe etc.. are just talented wannabees also?

    i hate when people diss fighters so much.floyd is the best fighter of 2000-2013 "modern era" how you can just be a talented wannabee?

    and why you morons think that it's always floyd who ducked someone.
    do you happen to know early 2000's everyone was ducking floyd.too much of risk and not great name.
