    Floyd will fight on. He craves money and spotlight. There's no reason for him to quit cause he is that good. I see him giving Nonito and Russel Jr hell fighting at welter in 5 years and still beating them. :)

    PBF can fight up to 40 but don't expect him win because without his advantages like speed and reflex. He's just another ordinary boxer who's got decent boxing skills. JMM style is the one who can fight up to 40 ala Hopkins because he doesn't rely on speed nor power purely ring IQ, chin & heart. Moving also at 135 makes JMM's body less worn from draining during fights.

    I think he can if he wants too, he's as skilled as Hopkins and he supposedly works very very hard in training camps. Saying he relies on reflex's and speed isn't really true, he adjusts when he doesn't have the better reflexs/speed, ie Judah/Mosley

    Until PBF lose his speed & reflex still keep winning against elite fighters then I'll believe he doesn't need those advantage which his style is based on. FYI, JMM is not known for speed nor power so it's a fact that he uses boxing skills to win his fights.

    I bet if you had any up close and personal interview with Hopkins he would agree with me. It's not tune, it's reality. Study up.

    Yes he can because he doesn't fight more than 2 fights a year, his ring IQ, he hasn't taking long term punishment, great defense and his great training regiment.

    Floyd's physical attributes and his sick ring IQ will
    Enable him to still dominate opponents in his mid 40's if he really wants to. I'm a ******* but with all my heart I could say, Floyd would've beaten everybody including PAC if he had just the balls to face them. What a waste of talent.
