Floyd lives for his 0. He don't wanna risk it cuz without it he won't be the same fighter anymore, in his own mind and the mind of his stans. It sucks that as good a fighter as he is has a division stacked with talented name fighters that he don't wanna fight. Ironically, DLH went thru the WW division in his prime fightin everybody available, and even though he suffered some losses and close calls along the way, simply takin on all comers helped him buil his case for entry into the HOF. Floyd could do the same thing, but he's wastin his prime away nitpickin fights instead of goin all out. He's a big enough star with enough haters by now that he could get paid well for any fight, and he said himself he's got more than enough money to retire as is. But he loves bein able to say he's undefeated wit 6 belts in 5 divisions, P4P king, and so on. If he ever lost I don't think he could live wit himself. I've been a fan of his that's tried to defend him stallin the Cotto fight. Cuz I respect Floyd I wanna believe he's dodged the Cotto fight for now to make it more profitable, but I'm thinkin more and more he's gonna just retire without fightin the Cotto-Margarito winner to preserve his record, which he acts like he cares more about than his legacy.
