Floyd says Self Preservation comes FIRST

[LeG00N]

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??

the boxers that are risking their lives to obtain that glory. Who do you think they're going to war for? Their fans.

even Margarito after Pacquiao broke his face when he was apologizing to his Mexican people for not being able to get the win was crying.

He wasn't crying because he got his face broken and his career possibly ended but because in his eyes he had let his fans down. sooo yes they do give a damn what we think.

dont box and retire maybe play pingpong floyd its a safe sport

I have no problem with Floyd's self preservation. What I do have a problem with is expecting the glory to just be given to him based on what he's done in the past. Was it good? Yes. Was it great (enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as SRL & SRR)? Not even close. If this is how how wants his career to be, fine, but don't cry to us about not being mentioned along with the ATGs.

boxing is a physically demanding sport. you can't avoid risking your health in boxing. if you want to preserve your health and body don't go into boxing.

[KING MEAT]

yea floyd really needs to fuucking retire. hes a damn boxer FFS.

[THREAD-KILLER]

I'd say that self preservation is almost the opposite of boxing.

[peyk-peyk]

If Floyd wants self preservation it would better for him to go to a convent and be a nun.

Oh there is glory, some men live their lives to the fullest at the expense of their health. I've done things to my body that I will pay for (hell I already am at 29) later in life, but some of them were doing the best things in my life.

Remember your hypocrisy every time to take a drink/toke or do something that puts your life in danger for the pursuit of fun/entertainment.

Floyd has achieved more than you or I could ever dream of and I personally don't blame him for being cautious, however, at the same time he can't ***** or complain about people calling him out on it. He claims to be a warrior but face it, warriors are supposed to live for the moment, not for their retirement. I get it, boxing is his job, but its a job he chose and its a job that is held to a different standard. Imagine a fireman that refuses to run into a burning building until the fire is put out....

he is admitting here he is ducking any opponent that he thinks that can beat and put his sorry ass on the canvas! True Story!!

that separates pbf from the likes of ali, srl and srr. he's very vocal about what he wants to do instead of just keeping it to himself. ofcourse every fighter thinks of self preservation, but when in war with fellow ATGs, that self preservation was being thrown out of the window because the act of fighting them alone means you are ready to be punished also..
