    Now with this recent talk of a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, Im beginning too wonder if he's going down the same road as so many ATG fighters, and he'll end up losing that magic 0 on his record. If he can make 100 plus million dollars fighting someone, I can see the possibility happening. Floyd has made an unbelieveable amount of money, I don't know his financial situation, he certainly shouldn't ever have to fight again.
    i'm also thinking that since he already beat Canelo, and now that Canelo has beaten GGG, if that could finally set up a Mayweather vs GGG superfight?
    what are your thoughts?

    I never took his 'retirement' seriously. He's been retiring and unretiring for a decade now! Each time he did it, it was more like an extended break. And it always seemed a matter of when not if so I'm in no way surprised that he's planning his latest 'comeback'.

    So, yes, I agree, he's almost bound to come back one too many times and lose his '0'.

    He really shouldn't have any reason to return with the money he has made but I think he spends with impunity so sooner or later, he's going to have to balance the books (as absurd as that sounds).

    He's playing a risky game. Sooner or later his luck will run out.

    He's way too past it to fight GGG or Canelo now.

    It won't happen of course, but hypothetically, if Floyd came back and beat a GGG or Canelo, how much higher would he sky rocket on your ATG list?

    He'd blow the top off it. He is not a 160 fighter to begin with and he's way past it for seconds. He might beat some 160 bum but not the top fighters.

    Looks like it. Wouldn't be surprised if he lost to Pac. Not that I think Pac's any better position or shape or anything so much as the more times you roll dice the more likely you'll see snake eyes.

    The way he burns through money, wasting it on super expensive unnecessary extravagances he's always going to come back to keep that lifestyle going.

    No, he loves his "0" far too much.

    If Floyd was to fight Canelo again they'd rob him mark my words.

    I can't think of a fight I'd less like to see than a May weather v pacman sequel tbh.

    his zero is not magic. He handpicked and orchestrated it. Now he wants to fight Manny again after he took 6 years to fight him the first time.

    He has already stayed around about 6 years too long for my liking. The only way I will have any respect for Floyd going forward is if he rematches Canelo (or maybe a Charlo). Fighting Manny again at this stage is totally pointless.
