The importance of being Undefeated

[itsafight]

Hatton was undefeated and a lineal champ
Cotto had just beaten an undefeated Foreman and Margacheato he was in rejunivated and prime again

always excuses when Pac destroys a fighter who gave Floyd some trouble. Hatton was coming off of a good win against the underrated Malignaggi who we just saw gave Broner a decent fight, and fought Pac at his preferred weight of 140. But back to my point, assuming Floyd gets past Canelo, and Pac gets past Rios, why not face Pac who will be the biggest payday for Floyd?

Roy cleaned out 175, except for Darius Whogivesa****zewski. And that fight didn't happen because of both sides. Not much else he can do.

But there were better opponents available, he fought Hill when he was, pardon the pun, headed down hill. Heck, Jones didn't have a meaningful fight at 175 till 1997 in Griffin. There was plenty of time to fight Benn, Eubank or at the very least Collins from 160-168. That's 4 names he skipped out on. There is no denying it, it happened, what the reasons were? I don't know but that was crucial in him staying undefeated.

The exact same argument can be used for Marciano's, Calzaghe's and Floyd's undefeated runs. Honestly Marciano's run was out of his own hands, he didn't have the competition that previous champs Louis and later champ Ali had. With Calzaghe, he gets props for fight better names in the tail end of his career and unifying the titles. Some of those names are considered the best wins on the resumes of guys like Froch and Ward, more than half a decade later.

Again with Floyd, he missed out on a lot of primed guys, retired, game back and has guys like Guerrero and Ortiz on his resume instead of Margy, Williams or prime Pac/Cotto. It is what it is. I'm not here to say why those fights didn't happen, I'm just saying it was an important factor of why these guys are undefeated.

It all started with Chavez Sr and his like 90-0 run and the media hyped him to no end

Benn and Eubank? Get off of boxrec.

The only importance of being undefeated is so the boxingscene keyboard warriors don't bash the living f%ck out of you.
