    Man, Floyd just makes it look so easy. He was superior to Berto in every way imaginable, but I'm torn on whether I believe this is his last fight. Part of me thinks he wants to get out clean because of the way his uncle Roger's health has deteriorated over the years, but you don't have to be a genius to see the opportunities for his legacy and $$$ for win #50. I think it's very possible we see a Pac rematch in May, even though I think it'd be very similar to the 1st fight. @M Solo How do you feel about the fight, his legacy, and him actually retiring or not?

    Boring fight, he's top 5 ever (easily #1 defensive boxer), and I think he'll fight again even if he doesn't know he will at the moment. The money will have to be right as I think he genuinely wants out. The health excuse is dumb as he's taken the littlest damage of anyone comparable to him.

    The money will definitely be right, but is there any chance he picks a top opponent at this stage of his career? Judging by this fight he's clearly still an elite talent even at age 38.

    Is Pac a top opponent? Khan? Cotto? The money definitely won't be there for Mayweather-Berto II. That was a contract filler.

    I would be happy with all 3, but Khan probably has the best chance. Pac would be interesting because of his "injury" and the controversy about Floyd's IV, even though I think the fight would be similar to the 1st one.

    Pac fighting Khan next year might be the deciding factor. Kind of hoping Khan wins. Pac was clearly outmatched.

    I think if Cotto beats Canelo there'll be a rematch between him and Floyd when the new MGM arena opens up and that's when he'll go for 50. I'd be fine with that, too, because I felt their first fight was incredibly exciting. That was the fight people were expecting with Mayweather/Pacman

    Khan is mentioned alot. Yes he has speed but not much else. Mayweather would outpoint him easily & possibly get his first KO in years.
