      I think other pros need to understand this. Fighters need to change how they do things to make sure they can attract fans.

      Not saying everyone needs to adopt a “money Mayweather “ persona but the old way of attracting fans just isn’t working.
      Well if they borrow from the Floyd cherrypicking playbook, they may make a few dollars, but their legacy with take a shellacking.

        Well if you borrowed a brain you would know it won't affect their legacy at all once they retire whatever they do has no bearing on their accomplishments as a pro, fanboys don't write history books you seem not to understand that simple truth.

              If losing to a joe Horn level fighter doesn’t hurt a legacy, fighting exhibitions surely will not.

                Well when you follow it up with beating Thurman, a 2 year mandatory that Floyd ducked, you gets mad respect.

                Floyd followed up beating Berto with knocking out a Japanese kickboxer.

                  If that's the case why did he knock out the japanese kid in 1 round? why did he try and ACTUALLY stop Mcgregor?

                  Difference is Paul is decently trained 50-60lbs heavier at a minimum.. 20 years younger + Floyd is a few years older then he was when he fought those 2

                  Paul also didn't just blindly charge in and held a lot as the rounds went on

                    Well Floyd's legacy is he just wanted easy fights and that is what happened.

                      No, it's criticism. He said the same thing about Floyd carrying Conor.
