    One of the best boxers of all time for sure. One of the best athletes of all time, absolutely...Highest paid boxer of all time, without a doubt....but he's still corny as sh*t. Lol. He just sounds like he tries too hard to be cool. Some guys are braggadocious, flamboyant....outspoken, cocky and are actually charming or come off funny. Floyd's just doesn't have that quality to get away with it and not come off lame. James Toney was similar to Floyd in his day, but his shtick didn't seem phony or corny like it does with Floyd. Can't take nothing away from Mayweather....he accomplished a lot and has made a ton of money but I can never take him seriously when he starts talking.

    This what you get when Al Haymon doesn't tell him what to say. He must have a fight coming up, whenever he feels like he is getting irrelevant he starts talking.
    He's not wrong about the coming back part. If he does every division from 135-160 freezes up awaiting his announcement like the Second Coming of Christ and he knows it.

    It's because Floyd's real personality is a rather dry and sober one. He's a pretty boring and insular guy pretending to be gregarious. But it's worked, so I guess that makes him kinda smart and a lot of other people kinda dumb for responding to it.

    He's no fool that's for sure. He's monetized the one thing people hate the most about him and made him a very wealthy man....his "Money" persona. With that said.....that revenue stream dried up when he retired. He can't squeeze blood from that rock anymore when he's not fighting.

    Well, he's probably done fighting, but he has businesses he's looking to grow. Maybe he's counting on promoting those with the same brand of (ahem) outgoing charm.

    he is an annoying guy. He is a great fighter in that he has speed and great defensive skills, yet he sort of lacked confidence to fight guys at their best. To me he has an insecurity where he does not feel his career is so great, or he would not have to talk on and on.
