    I personally was surprised it said 6 more fights. Even if Floyd stepped up his rate, of 1 fight a year. (About what he has had since DLH) The fastest he could do six fights would be in about 3.5-4 years. Four years is a long time at this point in a career.

    Void will fight anyone he wants and still get paid big money. He will stay away from Sergio Martinez for sure and a few others.

    He'll also stay away from guys like Kryzstof Wlodarcyzck, Dmitry Pirog, Thomas Oosthuizen, and Isaac Chilemba.

    I agree with the OP in that Floyd will be one of those fighters that when they are low on money they will keep fighting.

    I read a post in this thread saying that if B Hops can fight past 40 then so can Floyd but here is the problem....Floyd relies on reflexes as his defense. Hops does not. And with Floyd now being 36, time is not on his side.

    By the time he is 38 those reflexes will have declined severely. And I predict that by that time we will see Pacquiao vs Mayweather....two shot fighters fighting years after they should have. Oh, joy(!)

    You're out of your ****ing mind. The last fight PBF looked to be prime was JMM. His relexes countering and legs were still in top form. Anyone who knows what to look for can clearly see PBF isn't prime anymore and is clearly past it. He's just so good that he still can look great at times but no where near his top form.
