Other than Floyd Mayweather Jr., can you name any other fighters who engineered a fake retirement, watched the best fighters in his weight class go to war with each other while they were at their best, then came out of this fake retirement to challenge the last man standing?
nope. Everyone needs a team like Floyds. every man and their dog below 154 wanted floyd, cause he is and was the cash cow, numero uno, number 1. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEYnKmV_qbk[/ame] now his the man who can pick and choose, wasn't like that moving up.
Seems Haye is in and out. Or talking bout it anyway. Vitali left in 04 after having to postpone his defense with Rahman multiple times due to lower back injury. Politics played a role as well. But he certainly watched the division reshape from the sidelines. And it seemed that had he forgone politics for a while, he could have made at least 6 highly intriguing, and even career defining fights.:think
Leanord also retired to duck Pryor Pryor even called him out to his face [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKcIMjktBrU[/ame]
I knew there's be one.atsch Go read the original question before you respond with your predictable drivel which,incidentally,is not even a relevant answer and has nothing to do with the actual question.
Floyd didn't retired to duck no one! I hope you ain't talking about Cotto and Margarito back in 08. Cotto lived in Pureto Rico so what's the point in fighting him. Also with Margarito they weren't fighting to see who the best was.
Floyd was already an ATG. Coming out of retirement was just icing. Greats like Marquez and Mosley were lucky to have even gotten a chance.
