    Does Floyd care more about staying undefeated than being an ATG?

    I'm not sure. If he doesn't fight Shane, or Pacquiao, I will say yes. In the past Floyd took on the best he could, Corrales, Castillo, Judah, all when they were some of the top P4P guys in the game. I don't know if he wants to really fight the best anymore, or if he just wants to fight the guy who gives him the most money and won't threaten his 0. If Floyd takes Pac and Shane on he will answer this question. If he doesn't fight either, he will also answer this question. What do you think. Has Floyd become the Welterweight Joe Calzaghe?

    Note: Floyd could fight no one but Bobby Pacquiao only from now til he retires and he'd still be a greater fighter than Calzaghe, I just mean in the last few years is he fighting with Calzaghe-like intentions(Protecting that donut in the loss column)

    He cares about money than legacy.

    And being undefeated he feels legacy aint **** really.

    Being undefeated just makes him money and in the end thats all he cares about.

    Dont tellme different.

    With his talent he could be making money, fighting tough fighters and win and not consider Nate campbell if i was wrong

          He's already the GOAT in his own mind so why would he care what the general boxing fan thinks.

            He believes being undefeated makes him an ATG. He seems to feel the loss of the 0 will make people lose all respect for him.

              ATG lists are all opinionated...I think you could stick Floyd in towards the end of an ATG Top 50 list...

              Floyd is a HOFer already...its clear his biggest interest is money at this point...

                I think it's more about money than anything else. If floyd loses his 0, he loses his hype and gloss, which MAY(or may not) cause him to lose his mega million dollar paydays.

                  undefeated record can make you an ATG... the problem is that those who were defeated previously are performing much better than him, making his loss-less record being questioned

                    Being undefeated must be a heck of a feeling and a big thing to lose.

                    Mayweather doesn't care about being an atg though imo.
