Why is it said the loser of a fight dared to be great

Bud isn't daring to be great, he needed 5 years in the division and struck when he thinks he's got his best chance which is now, that's cherrypicking. If bud was daring to be great he'd have fought Spence after he beat horn. Bud would likely have been underdog then.Bud having the luxury of having 5 years to acclimate to the division is obviously going to take away from the win if he wins. It's not as good as Inoue win over fulton

Every best should fight the best. That's all should matter. Then the money would start pouring in. Nowadays, they all seemed to be scared of losing and think money only comes from fighting certain popular fighters.

'Who Dares Wins' they should add (Sometimes)

Daring to be great now means risking a loss.

because they secretly or subconsciously feel sorry for them

When money is the main reason why you took such fight, then all this 'dared to be great' crap is all nonsense.

most top guys now dont need to dare to be great, because they all already think they are great

I always thought it applied to fighters going up several weights? didn't know it also applied to fighting outside the comfort of their home court lol

daring to be great often ends up with too much on your plate or even stopped in 8!

Not directing this at any particular person but I hear it alot after a very good fighter loses to an elite fighter. A few boxing coaches with YouTube channels have said this most recently about Steph but why is t anyone saying the same about Inoue? Didn’t both guys dare to be great in this fight? The chances are after Bud Spence we will hear it again from the losing camp. It’s odd no one says the winner dared also. Because for some reason they like giving credit to an American going abroad to fight, 10x more credit than someome from Europe/Asia going abroad to fight.

daring to be great involves exceptional risk that a fighter doesn't necessarily have to take. Moving up weight classes and taking on bigger and tougher challenges, taking on opponents at their best, giving rematches to fought opponents or seeking rematches after losing or getting ko'd. In a sport where too many fighters are trying desperately to preserve the "0" in the loss column and cherry picking, we need more fighters like inoue, loma, pacquiao, teofimo and the like. and haney

The standards these days are so low that not cherry picking and merely fighting who the public wants you to fight is considered "daring to be great." Lmfao

There is so much cherry-picking and soft matchmaking that just taking a tough fight is "daring to be great" these days. I suppose Spence and Crawford are both daring to be great by finally taking a fight which could/should have happened about three years ago. Gotta move heaven and earth just to get the top two fighters in the weight class to fight each other, something that should be standard.

Crawford and Spence aren't daring to be great, they're just fighting another guy in their own weight class lol. Inoue jumped a weight class and took on the best fighter in the next one up, that's daring to be great. Charlo jumping 2 weight classes is going for greatness. I had someone tell me Tank was daring to be great by fighting Ryan Garcia lol.....

It’s stupid because “daring to be great” has always been said when guys go up one or multiple weight classes for the big fight/big chance if anything, Inoue dared to be great. Steph just fought on the road
