To this day he gets pissed and has no damned clue why he gets called Larry.
    you should show him this thread, guaranteed he stops.

      You couldn't be more wrong. Ko's are actually harder to fake to the public in theses days. Cameras everywhere super slow-mo...KOs would be a ****** idea. Running around pot shotting and one guy not doing more takes it to safe way to make a buck. Floyd aint the only one. But this thread is about Floyd. Yes i am a hater of him. I think hes a coward and a fraud. You wanna choose to believe he walks on water go ahead. You're in the small percentile.

        Nah, the look of "wtf are these guys talking about" is priceless. I assume we rather keep it that way.

          floyd was awesome but there are styles he avoided that would have given him problems. put it this way,,,a young srl or hearns would have chewed him up and spit him out but they are exceptions. floyd is a great but there are alot greater fighters in history. he was a great matchmaker and promoter. thats for sure

            So, a 91% win ratio for Floyd vs a 72% win ratio for Rocky. No wonder he tried to be selective with it.

              And what is losing records on both resumes ?
              Funny how when the win stats were for Floyd yall had no problem, but as it turned out the original stats were only to 40 because it didn't serve the "agenda" to go to 49.

              Rock wasn't no butterbean. He beat legit guys in his era.

              Again, not sure If the original stats are based on repeat opponents...I just figured it without repeat opponents for the remaining 9.

                  I didn't fact check the numbers Reloaded posted because, but even with the numbers you put up, which I haven't fact checked either, Floyd still comes out ahead.

                  The point of the original post wasn't just about the wins. It was about the win ratios. Losses were also included for a reason.

                    Another thing to consider is Rocky had to fight 15 rounds and refs were a lot less likely to step in and stop a fight back then, or to stop rough house tactics. As such, even great fighters had losses due to the much more grueling nature of contests back then. Ray Robinson, widely regarded as top 3 of all time at least, had losses because of this.

                      How many 15 round fights did Rocky have, and how many actually went 15 rounds?
