    yeah but if he thinks Pac's on steroids in his mind he risks losing his 0.

    think about it, if Floyd loses his 0 he's automatically no longer a draw, he has no fans, no box office appeal because his style is boring and if he takes a bad beating he may no longer be the same fighter. His only selling point is that he's undefeated, a winner, lose that and he's done.

    Floyd can make that 40 million over the next 10 years fight by fight without ever surrendering his 0 whilst forcing smaller fighters up to 147. Boxing is like an atm for him.

    he was able to make a packet out of the Marquez fight which was never going to be competitive.

      yes i know cause he's undefeated. if he wasn't no one would let him get away with that type of ****. they wouldn't pay for it and they wouldn't stand for it. he's basically forced himself into fighting easy fights.

        I think after this, Mayweather being a draw will take a hit..

        Duck too many real fighters and everyone starts to notice, and the media will keep bringing this stuff up (just look at what happened after the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight)..

        I hope that after the March 13th fight, Pac fights the Winner of the Mosley vs Berto and unify the Welterweight title. If he wins, he should retire and not give the ducker Floyd a fight and a chance at the "big" money.

        The Ring Magazine needs to do this right, Whoever wins the Mosley vs. Berto fight should get the #2 in the Pound for Pound list. Dropping the fraud a few notches down for this BS.

          floyd would still be a draw even without his 0, just not as big.

            Nowhere near as big, and he'd get nowhere near as much money as he can currently command. He's not a popular fighter both because of his negative backfoot fighting style and his disrespectful attitude. It wouldn't be like Oscar and Hatton who can both lose yet still retain a big fanbase.
