How Floyd will be remembered in boxing?

[The Big Dunn]

When you thinj greatness you think...Michael Jordan, Muhammed Ali, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, ...they had that magestic champion feel about them who were not afraid to be great.

floyd on the other hand....was like a lawyer trying ti tell us he was great, by fighting not the best or when they were no longer at their prime.
I think he will be remembered as potentially being the greatest but did not take enough risky fights whenever a new legit challenger arised

dude you are saying floyd is not as transcendant as those men. who the **** is? each of the guys you named is arguably the greatest ever in their sport. SO floyd wont be remembered as good as these guys. Newsflash-no one will.

tremendous talent...one of the most gifted boxers ever to lace em up

Will he be remembered as coward, ducker, faking his retirement and vacations to avoid tough competition , beating women, beating the mother of his children in front of them, when they tried to stop him beating their mother he threatened to kill his children, went to prison because of this, poking men, throwing his father outa his house, giving frozen turkey to the poor without a place to cook, mastermind of carpark shooting, Pac you are next but I never said that, my health comes first before Pac, I want 100% all the PPV against Pac, weight cheating Marquez, sucker punching Ortiz, failed his own OST on 3 occasions, etc..?

I think he will be remembered as a masterful boxer and great defensive figther and maybe the best to use the shoulder roll. I also think he will be remembered for not wanting to fight the best fighters out there and cared more about his record then fighting the best.

Very well said Jay. Bravo sir.

Floyd will be remembered for many things hed rather not be remembered for. But the current one is fighting weaker opponents than his peers are doing even though he is supposed to be the best.

Floyd is supposedly better than Canelo, yet Canelo has to face Trout, while Floyd can fight the likes of Guerrero. Trout has to to fight Canelo, cos Floyd didnt fancy it.

Excellent points. I believe Floyd would never be undefeated if there were no strings attached to everything he did, and his Flowmo nation wouldn't give him every excuse in the book.

He did this, because. He did that, because. You see, this is what had happened.
