I'm still puzzled as to how Floyd managed to retire undefeated

    Well, you could count the risks hes taken in his career on one hand that only has two or three fingers ie with 2 fingers missing.

    When Pac is the best fighter you ever fought then why not be unbeaten?

        1. I don't consider Calzaghe to be in the ****y/arrogant category.

        2. Calzaghe didn't fight the same amount of top level fighters that Floyd did.

        It's far from easy. In 19 years Floyd was did not even slip once.

          I think you are twisting reality. Floyd is famous for not taking risks, having fought people past their primes and cherry picking so how do you somehow twist that into haven done things higher atg's than Floyd has done? RJJ steped upto heavyweight and was still unbeaten, don't count the disqualification.

          He lost to Castillo in many peoples eyes to put it mildly. He lost to Maidana as well.

              Bingo! The corruption in boxing is carefully woven in an intricate tapestry of foul play.

                Other than the fact he's ridiculously skilled, Floyd is a meticulous planner and a real cautious cat. His incredible defensive approach to every fight is what puts him above everyone else in this era. For a guy who's had a bulls eye target in his head for well more than a decade, you would at least think he'll have a few if not a couple of knock downs in his career, it still amazes me how not even ONE (1) came close to putting Floyd on his knees.


                Zab clearly got a knockdown. We all saw floyd use his hand to stay up.

                    who said he's retired?

                    he retired before remember.

                    even his genius fans don't believe he's retired.

                      Castillo did beat him, but just didn't get the decision.
