    Because people are ready to pounce on and criticize any percieved flaw in Floyd. Media, fans, HBO announcers, you name it. Even If he does fairly good but less than stellar numbers, and even if he tries to pass it off as a "keep busy" fight, his critics will say his drawing power is fading.

    Its almost like... a very popular rapper putting out an album that goes platinum..then putting out a second album that only goes gold, hoping for their third album to be their biggest success ever. Regardless of whether that artist says he was just trying to "stay in the studio" or "keep writing", judgment is passed on his career, and it could even effect how many units of the third album he moves...

    Or they might just repeat their mantra of him not fighting the best WW's...
    So what..HATERS are going to HATE reguardless..You can conduct your business or live your life in fear of hate...

    Did people question the STAR of Juilo Ceasar Chavez when he use to take stay busy fights all the time ?

    This would be a great oppurtunity to expand his popularity over seas...and for him to truely become a Universial ICON..!

      it does not need to big a mega fight...I keep telling you this...hedoesnt need a big name.

      Once again.
      I say if he did 2 maybe 3 stay busy fights in the UK with Popular UK fighters on the Undercard

      And maybe even IF he could get fighters like Matthew Macklin, Tyson fury,John Murry ( I said maybe)
      on his british undercard, if he promise them he would put them on one of his MEGAFIGHT undercard in America....

      I think he would build a very big fan based in the UK...

              Yes but, he has lots of people that defend him and are fans as well (maybe not on forums lol but yeah), at this point. He stand to lose a lot of that fan base if he fights a lot of, forgive me for saying, nobodies.

              Floyd is not JCC.. Floyd moves bigger numbers than JCC could and fights less often.. Plus this is a different time of boxing now, where to many, you are only as good as your last fight.

              He is already quite popular in Great Britain, as I understand. I saw footage of him doing an exhibition in London for the Marquez fight. Crowds for days just to catch a glimpse of him.

              Once again.

              Which Floyd are you talking about? We must be fans of different Floyds. You wouldn't catch the Floyd I know dead on an undercard, man... He's a top of the Marquee type of name, and proud of it.

                why is this?
                no fighter in history has had nothing but MEGA FIGHTS!

                Once again,again, and again
                Julio Ceaser Chavez use to take stay busy fights all the time he used to fight every month fighting fighters with only 3 career pro fights when he has already fought 60+ fights...

                I dont think it hurt his Career

                    I am saying floyd could put popular british fighters on HIS undercard when he fights stay busy fights in the UK... Not the other way around...

                    He stand to lose a lot of that fan base if he fights a lot of, forgive me for saying, nobodies.

                    How and why...if he the fans know these are stay busy fights like Ali, Chavez,SRL,Marvin Hagler,Terry Norris,Thomas Hearns, all used to have.

                    Every fight doesnt have to be a super event. Boxing History prove this.
                    Go look at any great popular fighter... and it is full with stay busy fights...

                    Floyd should be no different...especially since he has an oppurtunity to gin from taking some stay busy fights in the UK..
