Floyd Mayweather Jr has come clean and has confessed why he is no longer retired from Boxing and what it was that changed his mind. Leading up to his fight and even after his fight with Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr. had made it clear in the media that he was set to retire after the De La Hoya fight. Luckily for fans of the sport, Mayweather Jr has since decided to continue with Boxing and plans to take his fists to Ricky Hatton's face on December 8th of this year.

"I changed my mind because of my fans. I went on a nationwide tour after the Oscar fight to speak with kids in number of cities. Everywhere I went, my fans urged me not to retire."

Mayweather added:  "Then, Hatton went on HBO and disrespected me so now its on for Dec. 8. I clearly won the Oscar fight. If you ask my dad that question today, you will get a different answer from him having watched the fight on replay. Oscar is an excellent fighter but he will never be able to beat me."
