Floyd + 1 Early Career Loss = ATG

[one-Punch]

I personally believe that if Floyd would of at least got 1 loss in his professional career early on, he would of most defiantly improved his resume and took more chances. I think Floyd can handle people like Manny, Cotto, Mosley, etc. But his fear of his first loss now is to great to take any chances. Do you think a loss would of helped Floyd, or ruined him. I also think if he takes a loss now, it will ruin his ego, and we might possibly not see Floyd in the ring anymore. It's too bad, because he treats defense almost like an art form. It's fun to watch him out box people at times. Boring when he runs though.

If he lost and came back and beat the person he lost to then i would respect him a lot more and i think we would see an event more formidabble version of Mayweather.
It would certainly boost his ATG status if he did that.

His whole selling point though is the fact he is undefeated.

Tons of well known pros loose early on in their careers and eventually turn into HOFers. I do understand that his undefeated career helps boost his fan base, but at the same time, I would of liked to see Floyd take more chances in his career. I think, 1 loss, would of defiantly helped out with that. A good majority of the greatest boxers have tasted defeat.

they should of just took the first castillo fight from him

Floyd is on a mission to fight the winner of the welter weight division championship taking place on Nov. 14.

I don't think he'll hang around to fight bums for less money than he's used to generating.

I think he would've been more devastated losing to Marquez on points.

[S.G.]

A lot of people feel he lost to Castillo. He rematched Castillo straight away and beat him.

Happy OP?

Not only beat him, but beat him by a wide margin. Nobody complained about that one. Proves the first fight victory was a given despite the injury.

i totally agree...the '0' definitely counts for something but for this fight fan, a true sign of greatness is how a fighter comes back from their first setback...

[freeloada]

i agree with your logic.. but i'd still talk **** about him because he still refuses to fight guys in his own division.. once he fights all the top fighters at welterweight then he will be ATG.. even if he had one loss, not fighting the best is inexcusable..

That is also true.
