    Ol' Teddy thinks PBF retired because he doesn't want to fight
    ODH with Floyd Sr. in the opposite corner and all the potential
    controversy it could bring up.

    It makes some sense, but most people think it has to do with money and being upset that he wasn't going to make as much as DLH. I would have almost seen his dad in the corner being extra motivation, and bringing this fight more money, but what do I know?

    I don't buy that theory at all. I don't know what the **** Teddy was talking about.

    Atlas was way off with most of the BS. PBF has made his family drama public, and has used it to sell fights.

    In fact, I think Floyd Jr. would actually relish a chance at whooping a fighter his own father trained. That way he could always say that he'd beaten his dad.

    The reason for Floyd's "retirement" has got to be something entirely different than that.

    Too many theories regarding FLoyd's sudden "retirement".

    IMO the one that makes more sense is Floyd pulling a temper tantrum because DLH would not give in to his demands!

    Either this is the elaborate negotiating process fo the DLH rematch, or he just wants some time off.

    I have been out of the "PBF Loop" lately.

    What were his demands that he made of Oscar?

    pbf knew he was done after hatton fight. He just didn't announce it so he could cash in the WWE event and publicity in general. Once he got his checks, he bounced.

    He has several reasons but figured he'd pay Atlas and Rafael to blame the whole thing on big Floyd:lol:

    Oh, and it wasnt their theory

    Well, I think Hoya said something interesting. He said if Floyd thinks he can pull games and try and fight him when he's one year older he's wrong. Does anyone think that's what Floyd is doing? DLH obviously does. :deal
