    Probably Joe. Joe isn't as marketable as Floyd, and there is tons and tons of money to be made right now out there for Floyd, but I guess due to whatever personal decisions he's made, and despite the fact that he said if it makes dollars it makes sense, and even though according to his fans he would wipe out the entire welterweight division without even breaking a sweat, he decided to retire.

    Joe I guess could beat Dawson or rematch Hopkins.

    I gotta go with joe Calzaghe cuz he is 36 yrs old. Mayweather is younger and could still fight. At least even 2 more fights before he retired (cotto-Margarito or shane) but he decided to retire without facing the best at his division.

    At least Joe Calzaghe fought and beat mikkel kessler.

    Well if that's why Calzaghe retired, I guess you could say that Mayweather retired because he feared De La Hoya or Margarito.

    No, he knew the most money out there was Froch. And he isnt giving him a payday.

    Your boy cant sell 300 tickets when he's fighting a big name American champ who just starred in a ****in Rocky movie:rofl. Brings nothing to the table.

    A rematch with Hop would have been cool, but what's to gain from fighting him. it will always be a messy scrappy fight between the two, there styles clash. And anyway he got only **** for beating the 43 yr old version. On what planet does he suddenly get credit for beating the 44 yr old one.

    Mayweather. He left the game with everyone wanting more.

    Honestly, Calzaghe is class but his fights are **** to watch. Too much slapping...

    Let's see, beating prime Ricky Hatton (top 5 P4P) and retiring P4P #1, or...

    Beating a shot Roy Jones (top 20...at LHW) and retiring P4P #3.

    Money May for me.

    i wanna say joe did, he tried to prove the haters wrong by fighting across seas, and actually won....on the other side, he fought dangerous, lesser known opponents as opposed to floyd, who fought guys we knew he would beat...

    it pisses me off cause floyd is only about 3 or 4 fights away from being one of the baddest men to ever step into the ring, but his fear of losing is keeping him from that.....he dont even have to win, but imagine if he would add margo, cotto and shane to his resume.......hell, you can even take off margo and add pwill and clottey....
