The user fightfan_79 made an interesting point to me about how Floyd won't be as much of a draw once he loses his 0. I know he wasn't suggesting that Floyd is only a draw because of his 0 but it does have a lot to do with it in my opinion. There is a mystique to being the perfect unbeaten chosen one. So have it my friends.

its all b/c of that ZERO. many people want to see him win. but alot moer want to see him lose.
i just spoke about it in the "cash cow" thread.
he is mos def the cash cow now b/c of that zero.
i think the OP was a loaded question being that i feel hes using the term "cash cow" for a high number of people tuning in to support a fighter for instance, DLH
May is a CASH COW but hes a different type of cash cow b/c more people tune in b/c they want to see him lose rather than win.
but that still makes him the cash cow since its all about NUMBERS. cold hard number, NOT NUMBERS TO SUPPORT RATIOLast edited by sycomantz; 05-29-2009, 03:45 PM.Comment

You guys are so foolish. Do you even listen to yourself? His draw is his O or the fact that everyone wants to see him lose?
I guess nevermind the fact that the guy is one of the most talented boxers to ever come along and definatly that we have seen in the last 25 years. I guess that has nothing to do with it right? It has nothing to do with the fact that he's the smartest fighters in the game, one of the fastest, by far the best defensive guy who hardly ever gets hit clean. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's fought at 5 different weight classes, is the only guy in boxing that can throw every punch in the book, is the best at making adjusments, and always has something to say wether good or bad. That has nothing to do with it right?
You guys make it sound like he's some average fighter. There have been a million guys in boxing with an 0 well into there 20's and even 30's but they werent draws or considered great. Most consider Floyd an ATG and a HOF. That has nothing to do with it?Comment

Floyd wouldn't have half the fanboys he does if he had an 0 on his record.
The only reason half these dudes follow him is because of the myth about his invincibility.
People are sheep and a lot of them will just flock to what they believe is the best thing out there.Comment

as a fan i agree with your assessment. but we have to be honest here. most of the people who dislike Floyd will never admit to the things you posted above but they know it deep down.
they will never give him credit in any aspect.
and actaully, b/c most of these so-called "boxing fans" dont understand boxing. they dont see or understand why floyd is so great. on any level
as a fighter, his inteliigence as a fighter, his ability to adapt b/c of his intelligence, his movement, his defensive, his deceptiveness. that is one of the most important things about him, people most people cant see what hes doing.
the main reason why they will never understand floyd and keep hating on him is b/c he doesnt take chances like people want him to. most individuals in life dont calculate their moves, lives etc. they just let things happen and hope for the best. im the type that everything i do is calculated. but in any aspect of life. it goes against what it is to be "human"
so i think that one of the biggest reasons as well people dont like floyd, hes to calculated
look at the people who claim ricky had control of even one round of their fight. those who claim the fight with him and DLH was close.
they can only see what their eyes tell them and their eyes cant see much of anything but aggressiveness and big KO punchesLast edited by sycomantz; 05-29-2009, 04:01 PM.Comment
