    He is slipping more and more each fight. I have no interest in seeing him lose to someone he would have beaten in his prime (Someone like Khan/Pac/Thurman)

    He's getting caught with punches he never would have in his absolute prime. He's gotta leave and leave asap.

    I agree he's slipping and if he had already fought PAC I would agree he should retire but I still want to see that fight, even if they are both past prime.

    He's past his prime but he fought a guy who's awkward and throws a overhand right it's hard for him to look good against him. Put him I'm with a more conventional boxer and if he struggles then I might have to rethink my position.

    Way to over exaggerate nobody at 37 is going to look how they did at 27 saying that I don't see what people are talking about Mayweather dominated that fight 10-2 only notable thing Maidana landed was that shot at the bell in rd3 that imo had Mayweather hurt outside of the 12th rd that was given to Marcos the only rd he won was rd 4.

    Maybe its me but Mayweather-Maidana I MM arguably wins 5rds and people say it's a domination. Mayweather-Maidana II MM wins 1/2rds and its a bad showing.

    Brook beats Floyd easily with fundamentals alone.

    Floyd ain't retiring yet...he might carefully choose his next opponents though.

    D.Garcia should be easy pickings but still look like a solid opponent on paper for him to fight.

    Madonna would beat Thurman. Don't know why that guy's name keeps coming up. Floyd would squash that one hit wonder.

    its interesting i seen a thread on boxing scene which anay;sis his stats throughout the years and his maidana fights dont stand out any lower in fact there higher in some ways, he did get hit more to popular belief when he was younger, the canelo fight was one of his best performances, what he lost in speed power athletcim etc he became more skillful and mentally stonger, his fight there the last night he did look a bit off but it was a decent perfromance score wise etc

    He also fought a fighter who was already beaten by Kotenik, Khan, Alexander and old shot Morales, Sad thing is he needed 2 fights to get a clear win.

    He can't retire cause we haven't seen Maidana - Floyd III yet which MVC will gladly pay 79.99 to watch.

    I like brook but I have serious doubts of him being able to outbox pbf for 12 rounds. His style plays right into Pbfs hands.
