Floyds fans has made Floyd this way. They keep saying he is the best of this era cos he has beat everyone who step up to the plate?
So in floyds mind all he has to do is beat no threat guys and stay unbeaten to keep them happy. That will breed a generation of fighters trying to keep their unbeaten records and not take risks that is why floyd is all wrong for boxing and make it head in the wrong direction.
Bradley, Joe Calzage, Ottke and countless other boxers coming up have unbeaten records, unbeaten records count for zilch in the real world of boxing.
It just means you didnt take risks. Floyd didnt rematch DLH, didnt fight hatton in england, never got on a plane, took 2 years off, bought JMM up 2 weights, sucka punched, had words with referee to proetect him against hatton, etc etc etc, all this will be deciding factor when assessing floyd.
