If Floyd loses to Ortiz, will he go the Hamed route or the Barrera route?

Neither would be comparable, MAB was about 22 and at the beggining of his championship career, Hamed 27, Mayweather is currently 34. If he loses it would be for 2 reasons, first he got old, second because Ortiz is better than we thought. I do think he'd try and comeback in an immediate rematch though, depending on how he'd lose

BTW part of the reason Hamed retired was because he couldn't agree a deal with HBO and was getting death threats after 9/11. That and he couldn't be bothered anymore. He clearly looked a faded force in his comeback against Calvo

I'd say a better question is 'Does he go the Bernard Hopkins route or the Roy Jones route as he gets older'

 

I hear that.

 

Did people seriously give hamed death threats after 9/11?atsch

 

Nah. Nothing in British media about it.

He just fell out of love with the sport... That's all

 

Valero.

 

wasnt hamed loaded with cash when he lost to barrera? I get it though, if youre bored with the game why continue and pick up more losses.

 

That's what I read, probably nothing more than internet warriors though

Supposedly had £100m ($160) in the bank

 

yeah, I get his reason for retiring then, allthough I would love to have seen him fight guys like marquez,morales and pac.

 

Barerra or Hamed routes?? Very bad poll Mary Popkins.

I personal opinion is he will go the "Mayweather route!"
He will beat Ortiz, then (hopefully) Pac, then Khan... Then retire undisputed undefeated!
And all you guys can go rambling on how he cherrypicked and criticize his blimished undefeated career. TC

 

I would say Floyd would fight again when he needed the money.

 

I was always hoping he'd comeback, although JMM (or his manager) did turn down career high money for the fight

 

Floyd wont lose, dont worry

 

The Roy Jones route....
