Has anyone EVER remained undefeated as long as Floyd?

[daggum]

Maybe. On paper I'd favor floyd over most guys of his era, but you gotta prove it. He seemingly gets credit for fights he didn't take because he would have likely won them ( a statement i agree with) A string of opponents like that would likely have an effect on him, perhaps would have "aged" him quicker.

I'd hold him in much higher regard if he fought the best available guy every time out and challenged himself a bit more, and came away with a defeat or two, than I do now with his current resumè

and oscar would likely be undefeated if he was in floyd's exact shoes and had the same resume as floyd. i guess oscar is the greatest of all time? no, he had to be an idiot and blow it by fighting everyone dangerous. a mistake floyd will not repeat.

i have nothing agains floyd but he has duck a few people right when they had their best moments like i dunno if people remember when margacheato called him out at a preserr right on his face and mayweather refused to fight him and margarito was at hs best times back then thats before he fought williams i think again nothing agains him but he imo shouldve ****d his behind

LMAO @ the Floyd **** riders.

Pac from 2008-2012 he fought 10x vs Floyd from 2008-2012 he fought 4x. One was weight cheated and the other one was sucker punched to death. Of course he is undefeated and the GOAT.

I agree with this, taking on opponents at their best* and coming out in credit is what defines a strong resume in boxing. Being undefeated is obviously a plus but it's far from everything.

*in prime at best weight

Which is why I respect Oscar much more. You can't really sit and and wonder well what if he fought this guy or that guy. You can't truly be great when you've left so many questions unanswered

[djeffectz]

people wont talk about Mayweather undefeated record when hes long gone, people will talk about Pac 8 weight divison titles, Oscar vs Mosley, Roy Jones vs Ruiz and etc in 10 years

[whirlwind]

They giving Floyd full credit to the fights he ducked like a plague because he beat them already in fantasy fight. Disgusting.
