Floyd says Self Preservation comes FIRST

[Spoon23]

so what's your master plan to kill yourself?

One more time..

What they don't get is Floyd can act all swag , but to call yourself the greatest. You have to back it up with challenges that are in front of you. Not fighting someone coz of the high risk is not a quality of a Great man.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT MANTLE OF GREATNESS AT LEAST YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE IT. WALK THE WALK, NOT ALL BARK AND NO BITE. THAT IS THE OTHER BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALI AND FLOYD. ALI PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE AND PROVES HE FIGHTS THE BEST OUT THERE.

BOXING IS A DEADLY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET HURT GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. simple really.

Don't tell everyone you are the greatest then cherry picks fights, dodges legit opponents, picks on easy low risk fights. That is not how it works. Either you for self preservation and calculated risk or you are in it for the glory and greatness and risk everything in the ring. Daring to be great is a mark of no fear. That is what great is all about.

Don't call yourself great and calculate risks.. The great ones don't fear. Gladiators fight to the death. That's what a real mantle of warrior should have. That is what Ali, Robinson and the greats have.

Stop watching so many movies and thinking dying is some glorious act. Do you have any family members in the military that have seen combat?



This guy sure doesn't think Robinson was a "real warrior" who ignored calculated risks.

no glory in being handicapped for the rest of your life.all you who claim they are so great wont give them a damn dime for their hospital expenses...so who gives a damn what you think??

Here is the problem:

When Floyd retires, Floyd fans around will be trying to push their hero Floyd all the way to the top of the ATG ladder.

Sure, you can go the self-preservation route. It's Floyd's life and I would respect whatever decision he takes .... but if he does take that route, Floyd and his fans better don't come busting our chops saying that he deserves better and that he is GOAT .... because from the comments that I read here everyday, I see that coming!

To go up that ladder, it equates to taking risks, like it or not. If you are not willing, well you get what you deserve!

You're confusing Floyd fans for some other fighter's fans. Floyd fans know SRR is the GOAT.

Geez, not proving yourself ain't being great kid. Just tell your boy he ain't the greatest. It's embarrassing to the real greats of the game. That is what greats are about. And that is what boxing is about. The greats performed and had no fear. If you don't get it. You don't love Boxing.

Boxing is the modern gladiator sport. The essence of boxing is fighting. And the greats who epitomize boxing of what it truly means were the greats like ALi and Robinson which Floyd is nowhere near them, how they carried themselves in the great sport is a mark of excellence. And that my Friend is being great. Peace

fighting and winning titles in 5 divisions being linear in 3 is taking risks
