RM: Well he’s still a young man but he’s the only fighter in history to win six titles in five different weight classes while going undefeated. There have been other fighters with similar accomplishments but they didn’t end up undefeated. To have accomplished what he’s accomplished and made the money he has doing it… there’s no one else in history who’s done that and walked away at the top. I think his place in boxing history speaks for itself.

RM: No, I haven’t spoken to him yet but I’ll be seeing him this week. When a man makes a decision like this, it’s always for a reason. It certainly isn’t because he needs the money. Most fighters that continue on boxing are doing so for the money, with Floyd he’s set for life.

RM: I don’t think so. He would have gotten the money had he wanted to go ahead with it. Oscar didn’t have the pull in the situation that you’d think. HBO has a lot of say where that money goes. That fight would have made a ton of money no matter what happened but it just goes to show you that this decision wasn’t about the money. Floyd could have made millions in that fight and fights after it. It just goes to show you what this decision was about for him.

RM: I don’t really see a reason for him to come back. You hear a lot of talk about how he needs to fight this guy or that guy. There will always be ‘another guy’ people say will he needs to fight. I’m really not sold on somebody out there standing out like he’s an epic and historic match up, and as I said, my nephew certainly doesn’t need the money.
That’s not to say he won’t come back, if he does choose to return, it will be because he misses the sport and wants to do it. Right now, I don’t see the point in him fighting if it’s not truly what he wants to do in his heart. At the level Floyd is at it needs to be something he wants to do.

RM: I would not have told him to continue fighting if his heart wasn’t in it. To fight, you need to have your heart in it, and you need that hunger and desire. I guess I would have told him that when most guys are fighting, they’re fighting for something, or fighting to prove something. Floyd honestly feels he doesn’t have anything left to prove. At the end of the day, that’s his decision to make for himself and when it’s all said and done he’s going to retire as the only undefeated fighter to have won six titles in five different weight classes. Floyd is still young, and he’s got other things he wants to do in life. That’s his decision, and his place in history is secure.

RM: I don’t think there was anything about either of those fights that made him want to retire in specific. He made a lot of money in those fights, and he also made something like 20 million dollars with that wrestling ****. In training for the De La Hoya and Hatton fights he seemed just as enthusiastic as he ever was. I think that with the money he made last year and looking back on all that he’s accomplished he realized that this isn’t what he wants to do anymore.
I don’t think you can fault him for wanting to walk away on top. There have been a lot of great champions through out history. You had legends like Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong, but they all stuck around too long and didn’t know when to walk away. Floyd is one of a very few guys to retire undefeated and you have to respect that.

RM: No problem. Really, a lot of fighters at even an older age than Floyd take off a year or more between fights. Floyd could come straight out of retirement and fight anyone he wants if his heart was in it and there was true desire there. You’ve got to remember that Ray Leonard came off a five year layoff and went straight into a fight with Marvin Hagler and he beat him. It wouldn’t be a problem for Floyd to come back after some time straight into a big fight, providing that’s what he wants to do.
