    I think Floyd is still capable to do what he used to do 4 years ago but i just don't think he have the drive or hunger anymore. He says he wants two more fights and he is done. Would be interesting to see who he is going to fight for his farewell matches.

    The biggest stars are:
    Martinez, Pacquiao, Canelo, Bradley, Garcia..

    Canelo isn't proven enough just yet. I'd like to see a Canelo vs Cotto. Only if Canelo beats Cotto is he worthy of fighting Mayweather.

    I have Mayweather beating Martinez, but it seems that Roger doesn't. I think Mayweather at light middleweight is not as good as he is at welterweight because big fighters force him to engage when his mastery is in his defensive strategy. Martinez just isn't skillful enough for me.

    Bradley and Garcia lol Nahhhh


    I think his farewell matches will be Timothy Bradley or Canelo if he beats Cotto, and Pacquiao in 2013/2014.

    Floyd have a longer career than Pac, and he is older. If Pac slips it is his own problem. Every fighter is responible for their well being. If Pac fights some bum and gets beat then that is his own fault and maybe he is just not elite level like people think he is.

    Damn only 90%, I think he's being modest! But let's not forget who this is coming from, people have a way of turning what Roger and Floyd SR say, into Floyd JR's own words. What was clear is he said Floyd needs Pacquiao and Bradley on his resume, and I couldn't agree more.

    I dont' think 10% is a well thought out percentage. Roger is basically saying that Floyd is not as dominant as he was and is basically done.

    He retires with easy fights in my view. Still don`t think he`ll fight Martinez, Pac, or Canelo. He`ll retire a champion though.

    The sad thing is most great fighters doesn't know how to leave with a win. They usually let boxing retire them.

    Roger isn't the smartest cat out there, what he was trying to say is that Floyd isn't as dominant as he was but still good enough to beat the vast majority.

    Floyd has declined. I think he should retire very soon.

    haha floyd is what 4 years older and he waited for Pac to slip?? where is your education..

    Bradley is not a great fighter cleaned out 140 is undefeated has a heart of a lion and beat the oh so great pacman but its not a good fight.

    The hate for mayweather is unreal. they both have stalled the fight but you want to test there greatness just look at the next fight. marquez will to anothe draw or win this time and mayweather made marquez a all time great look like a pro boxer fighting a man who just laced them up. Im not talking about styles im talking on a pure skill level its embarassing for pac fans..:hi:

    Yeah, Floyd should just retire. This is basically an accidental way of admitting Floyd has lost a big step. If Roger doesn't think he's the best fighter in the world, something is off. Then again Pac is the only opponent for him anyway, so if he can somehow make that fight he can beat MP.
