    That shows how good Floyd is. Floyd is held to WAY higher standards than other fighters. They even try to come out with new criteria to score fights because of Floyd lol.

      Then it is funny..when a fighter loses on here what do we hear?

      1-Oh he was exposed

      2-He was overrated

      Let just be real, in sports the goal is to WIN!!!! losing=YOU FAILED!!!!! if you avenge it cool...but lets not act like greatness is gauged by losses because thats a damn lie..greatness is judged on WINNING

        I guess we should treat boxing like the special Olympics and make a "BEST EFFORT" champion

              You just called the later great SRR less than great because he loss! How can i educate someone who believes only winning (despite the quality of opposition) makes a fighter Great? You cant educate someone like that. Like you! Honestly i would think youd get it by now! But you still dont! Sad. Very sad.

                You are a moron... Floyd didn't get to cherry pick his way to the top. Floyd fought tough fights and earned his #1 P4P ranking unlike your **** idol,#48. #48, cherry picked his way to P4P #1 while Floyd was retired. #48, cherry picked his way to the top and had fights made for him to win since moving up to 135lbs FFS! The funny thing is that #48 was suppose to beat Floyd until he couldn't... now ****s like yourself call it a cherry pick. You yourself picked #48 to beat Floyd LOL... salty much? Floyd could fight and beat KOvalev and GGG back to back at their weight and there would still be excuses!

                      Fighter B= 100
                      Fighter C= 20.

                      A fighter beating fighter B, without losing, would be better than a fighter beating fighter B after suffering a loss to them.

                      A fighter beating fighter C, without losing, would not be better than a fighter beating fighter B after suffering a loss to them.

                      A loss would not enhance someone's legacy; they would always be better off with the W on their resume. At the same time (something people already know) a 0 finds its value in the names behind the numbers on their win collum.
