    1. There were a lot of good challengers at 147. By retiring, Floyd could avoid fighting several of them. Then, on his comeback, he could focus on just a few.

    2. Rest his body and mind.

    3. A comeback is, most of the times, a good business for a famous fighter.

    Was it really 2 years? I thought it was like a year and a bit? He signed his comeback fight in like April '09 and retired late December '07.

    So you just answered your own question :lol: Nice troll thread. Boxers retire, and come out of retirement all the time. Get over it.

    How was the division "So competitive" ? Because there was Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito there? :patsch Margarito is a bum.

    Cotto was the only good challenge Mayweather missed out on.

    Maybe he retired because he had a some seriously large paydays. He basically won the lottery. He made tons of money against De La Hoya and Hatton without having to give Top Rank a share. If you woke up with 10s of millions cash on hand and millions in recurring income coming in, would you take a break from work?

    Fear doesn't motivate Floyd, he fights the fights that make the most money period. He has been doing so at least since Gatti. If Cotto or Margo would have made more money than Hatton in 2007 they would have been the opponent. If you want to ***** at him do it for being a capitalist not a coward.

    I think he retired due to the lack of available Big big money fights. I think Heymon and Money planned it to increase his maketability and it for dam sure worked.

    There was no more popular Floyd post retirement than there'd ever been! And the the paydays have been the biggest in boxing history!

    Mosley wasn't shot. Floyd just neutralized him.
