How will Floyd be remembered in boxing?

[Bhopreign]

I would like to see the man just ****ing man up and take those fights with Cotto with the winner of Cintron Margarito its not like he wouldnt make money, weather or not he will win is up to the two in the ring, I mean damn if he struggled with DLH I am sure these younger guys will give him some trouble as well.

Its not about money, Floyd doesnt have to fight, why cant anybody realize that, he has enough money for more than one lifetime, its just that if he is gonna fight he is gonna fight for the most he can get.

I think the verdict is still open. He's doing more bad than good for his legacy as of right now. If it all ended today he'd be a top 20 ATG IMO and talked about for many years to come, however most would wonder what could have been had he really steeped up to the biggest challenges he faces today in the WW division.

Well at least DLH fought the best fighters and most of them in their prime.
Do you think that Mayweather would ever take such a risk to fight Bernard at 160. He didn;t even want to face Winky.

Same can be said for Roy Jones.

the opinion that matters the most is of the general public. all the sportswriters, commentators, and analysts will not shift what the general public sees. he will go down as one of the most unliked champions in history. you can debate this all you want, you can bring up all his acheivements (which the masses really dont care about) but the simple fact of the matter is that legends are told by the people, not experts and people will remember you for how you fought and who you fought. how you won and lost. the way things are going for floyd, the outlook may not be the best. he has been booed in his last 4 fights. watch the fights and tell me otherwise.

Why would he take those fights? They are way bigger than him. See thats what its all about with people who want to see Floyd lose, it isnt about skills anymore but size, if a bigger man beats a little man, you dont give that much credit because size can overcome skill.

read what you are typing. your saying that floyd doesnt fight for money because he has enough for it but then you say that he's fighting for the most money he can get? wtf?

True.....And I hope Floyd one day meets the canvas like Roy did.....But even harder.

They were not booing when Hatton hit the turnbuckle. Many fighters fought cautious, Ali, Jones, they arnt remembered badly, Floyd will be remembered as a great fighter and loved. He does many other things besides boxing anyway, his career isnt even over, to make any fair assessment anyway.
