Why do people say being undefeated doesnt matter?

[Slip Stream]

But EVERYTIME a fighter loses all you hear on here is they were exposed and or overrated? so if being undefeated does not matter why do fighters get so much **** for losing?

Because the people b1tching are ****s?

I think it's a case of an undefeated record not being the be all and end all.

Just because a guys undefeated doesn't mean he's better or greater than a guy who lost 5 times. Those 5 loss's may be to other great fighters for example.

Plus, the vast majority of fighters who retired undefeated don't have impressive records.

People like Mayweather are more of the exception to the rule.

Undefeated records don't matter, unless the resume is good. Many guys right now, who have undefeated records, are yet to be tested. So, to say they are good fighters because they have undefeated records is not reasonable. A lot of the guys that are getting hyped at the moment are in this category, untested.

Andre Ward and Mayweather are guys who stand out with legit undefeated records. Meaning they have great names on their resumes. This deserves respect and you can say that these guys faced top opposition and still remain undefeated. Great achievement.

Aside from this, you can't really knock guys with losses on their records, if they consistently faced top quality opposition.

Depending on the point in your career, being undefeated is important but not everything.

Here on NSB, being undefeated changes depending on who the fighter is. Its a sign of greatness if you are a popular on NSB, regardless of how crappy your resumes I. Its a sign of not fighting anyone if you are not popular on NSB.

I respect established fighters that are undefeated so long as they have what I consider quality wins on their resume.

Look at All the undefeated fighters in history, they were great, but never greatest of all time.

Being undefeated in Mayweathers case is a series of well calculated and timed selection of opponents.

Most of his best opponents are either coming up in weight or fights them after long lay offs, career changing beatings, extreme catch weights, and brutal KO's.

It is what it is, y'all been fooled.........
