Is having 0 losses what makes a great fighter?

What makes a great champion is how you deal with a loss and comeback from it imo. That tests you more than anything and if you can pass the test then you will be a better fighter because of it. Undefeated records don't impress me, they just raise questions about the calibre of your opponents.

Fighting great fighters, being in great fights, overcoming adversity, having incredible talent and desire, fighting the best out there.....these are some of the things that make a great fighter. Being undefeated is great for a fighters confidence but doesnt mean greatness unless its tied to most of the things mentioned above. I know this thread is a knock on Floyd and was made to wind up the band of raging flomo homo's that spam this board on a daily basis, and you are right, they are cunts, but Floyd IS a great fighter.

If you think having an 0 means you are great then you dont know much about boxing, if you also think having an 0 means that person hasn't fought any competition then you're either a no-boxing fan, retarded or just plain hating.. You can have a 0 and be a great fighter, obviously you cant fight everyone but if you fought every style known in boxing against top ranked fighter then that's good enough for me.. But having an 0 doesn't mean you are great neither.

it's not hard to keep a zero when you go to a long vacation as soon as a credible threat appears. floyd was scared like **** to fight guys like cotto,margarito. now that pac disposed of them both they are loosers not worthy of a fight.

The 0 is ultimately pointless in a historical sense. Are any of the fighters that retired undefeated considered among the top 10 or 20 all time, let alone considered the best? Usually having a 0 means you haven't fought the type of competition that can beat you. Guys like Floyd are the exception to that rule but anyone who dares to be great loses at some point. If Floyd keeps fighting and those fights are against guys who are legit threats, he will lose at some point.

let me see... if the guy fought p4p fighters one after another, if the guy beat undefeated champions and make then look like amateurs, if the guy humiliates and win 12 rounds of 12 against JMM, mmmmmm......well that "0" dont look bad is better than 3 loses and 2 draws against old figthers past his prime or guys like torrecampo

Looking at Joe Calzaghe,I have to say no

I can't believe there are people here who voted 0 lose is more important than fighting for legacy.. It's so obvious whoever answered 0 loses are important are flomos who defend Floyd without a care of floyd doing to his career. They just want to wipe Floyd's ass lol It's called legacy brother. As a boxer you strive for the day to come when you fight the biggest fight of your life. That is Pac vs May. Both should embrace it. It's how legacy is made. greatness is measured not only by one parameter..and not only through one microscope more so if we are trying to say who the goat is............ ali on the height of his bravado proclaimed himself as the greatest...which we could say is a claim for being the goat then.... now, many people believe ali is still the goat...overlooking the 5 losses he had....why? bcoz ali had victories that put the 5 losses into the waste bins..... victories in and out of the ring that made up his legacy in boxing

Unfortunately, that 0 is everything for them. Well said lol

calzaghe and JCC jr is far greater than floyd they have more wins and undefeated... I can't believe there are people here who voted 0 lose is more important than fighting for legacy..

Undefeated means nothing when you avoided those fighters in their prime who has a best chance of beating you. Having 0 in your resume doesn't automatically equals greatness. When you lost and how you dealt with it... this will show how really great you are. Take a look at this. Back then when Hamed was undefeated his first loss to Barerra he retired. Before his loss people thought he was great like Floyd but now? Another example: In terms of greatness, Floyd 0 record <<<< Pac 3 losses. Why?

Almost all great fighters have a few losses on their record. The best ones usually go a while fighting limited opposition and remain undefeated but may drop one or two once the fight the elites. Having an undefeated record is impressive but when you claim to be the greatest of all time and make up excuses upon excuses to not fight the most legit threat to losing that 0, the record means nothing and your rep goes in the trash. Floyd's marketability will be nothing if he does not fight Pac.....you can already see it happening and the deadline has not been even reached yet....it will get beyond worse for him. Youtubers, various media, talkshows, FNF, Dan Rafael, etc...will al be calling him a bush

Floyd still has the 0, and he doesn't want to lose the 0.. So he doesn't want to entertain a threat like pac coz his 0 might go. Hence the deadline is july 16 to man-up.. clock is ticking.. What happened to Floyd?? Muhammad Ali had 5 losses. Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 losses. Henry Armstrong had 21 losses. Shoot, Michael Jordan himself lost hundreds of times and was cut from his high school basketball team. And everytime FLoyd steps in the ring he takes a chance on losing his "0". He's been in the ring 41 times and has walked out a winner 41 times. What makes u think his 42 will scare him anymore then the other 41? If he was so scared of losing his 0 to Manny then ask yourself....where is Manny's 0??? I believe Manny lost 3 times, ko twice by no name fighters?? They werent even legit contenders...so saying that Floyd is avoiding legit contenders is stupid...Dont be mad that FLoyd is undefeated, be glad that an American boxer is still dominating the sport with all these foreigners on hand. Its hard work being on top, when everyone on the botto is pulling u down. And since when do we praise people for losing and getting they ass beat?? I thought losers walked?? People making threads like losing is the new thing...lol..All i do is win win win no matter what!

I guess after your first Pro win everyone is undefeated, but only the skilled can get out of fights like with people like Chevaz, Castilo, Manfreddie, Mitchell, Baldomir, Corrales, Corely, Zab, Hatton, Oscar, Mosely, Marquez and remain undefeated...U can say he isnt fighting anyone...But to do over a million buys a fight SOMEONE thought those opponents were able to win...considering Pactard talk "People only pay to see FLoyd lose"...then whats the big deal when he wins?? I guess cuz he hasnt lost they havent been threats?? SO the only person at WW that Pac has fought is Cotto??? cuz the ones floyd fought, pac fought right after..

No,Is shootin roids up your butthole makes a great fighter? Stop acting like floyd hav`nt accomplished Anything.You can`t be p4p the best if you only fought bums. Damn, is that really how they do it?

Arum said they wouldn't fight bradley because he doesn't generate any money. Tim Bradley, right now, is btter tha marg. Since manny already beat cotto, I don't think fighting himagain is about legacy. Why should I say floyd just sign the contact. I dont' know what's in the contract. I'm not putting up a roadblock. **** money it's all about entertaining us and putting a good show for the sport. You really don't get it. Do me a favor, try to buy food or gas or pay your mortgage with respect. Hence, corporate ladder, "you are only as good as what your worth" Right now bradley needs to chop some more wood" ... I said it already in my previous post. This is my last post with you. Your just like a bouncing ball.. Bounce somewhere else, you don't make any sense. Here is more logic to cap our conversation, your boy is named money and his biggest payvheck is with pac. So why is he not signing? Doesn't make sense right? Conclusion: Your fighter is gay and scared to fight a threat to his 0. 'you hate on arum when it already came from Floyd's mouth he is retiring for 2 years. He can't even let a dying boy get his wish for him to fight pac and you blame it on arum? You just angled it to arum when it already came to the horses mouth he doesn't want to fight for 2 years lol

No,Is shootin roids up your butthole makes a great fighter? Stop acting like floyd hav`nt accomplished Anything.You can`t be p4p the best if you only fought bums. Again this flomo brings in Pac when it's about Floyd lol

They'll just say how good he looked and how he won almost every round against almost everybody he fought.

Ummmmmmmmm no.
