Message: [QUOTE="robbie mustoe, post: 2112601, member: 1969"] Floyd hypes up his fights, he trash talks for the money. It is pretty simple and it works. He never used to do it until he fought Arturo Gatti. In the lead up to the Gatti fight (which was Floyd's first monster PPV) he called Gatti everything he could think of - C class fighter, club fighter, bum, etc etc. It worked, everyone bought the fight. Since then he has pretty much tried to replicate that hype. IMO it would be a real shame if Floyd didn't return to the ring. He is a fantastic fighter, probably top 20 pound for pound best all time already, and he is still at his prime. There is still a great deal of top rate competition for him to fight also to improve his legacy. Margarito and Cotto fight later this month and I would love to see Floyd come back and fight the victor. There are also a number of other emerging talents such as Paul Williams and Berto that could make great future matches. Having said all this, I think the chances of Floyd coming out of retirement are about 95%. He pretty much just retired cos he wasn't winning the negotiation battle with Oscar for their rematch and he thinks he should get more money. On Mundine, no doubt his terrible fights are ruining Australian boxing at the moment. Asking people to pay $50 to watch him fight Soliman again (who is pretty much a bum) is pathetic. I am also not in favour of a Green rematch. The first fight was very comprehensive and Green is a very average fighter at best. THere have been some rumours flying round of Mundine possibly fighting Sturm later this year. That would be a good fight and one that I would pay to see, however I do not hold my breath. [/QUOTE]
