    How bad is Floyd's legacy stained?

    Ducking left and right. Avoiding contenders in their prime.


    In 20 years what will we say if he doesn't fight Pacquio?

        We've definitely gone through an era of protected fighters but since the advent of the UFC I think that attitude has changed and a loss isn't so bad anymore.

        Mayweather and Pacquiao will be defined by the fact they didn't fight each other, it will always hold them back in TBE discussion.

          Yes. Floyd's impelling PPV with Khan has me mad


          What was Floyd's last great win to distinguish himself from everyone else?

            Its stained pretty bad. When he was a no name, he was happy to fight often to make a name for himself. When he became a name by beating DLHs leftovers in Hernandez, he then went AWOL for long periods.

            Becoming champ is the easy part, stay there is the hard part. But Floyd made it as easy as possible by fighting as little as he could when he became a somebody in boxing.

            Theres a ton of fights you can have in a year, yet Flody sometimes didn't have any or one fight every 18months, that is just unforgiveable.

                it's hard to defend a scared coward. even the best lawyers can't defend his cowardliness.

                it would be a lot easier for johnnie cochran to defend charles manson than to defend fraud jr!
