Should this count as Floyds 50th win?

[BrometheusBob.]

Bunch of emotional poosies in this thread, honestly.

Fights against other boxers that are 0-0 or even 0-10 have counted in a fighter's record plenty of times. Fights with 100-1 or even 200-1 favorites have counted before plenty of times as well.

The reality of the situation is that this fight will count towards Floyd's record. The fact that you don't like Floyd or you don't like this fight will have zero impact on that reality. It's already on BoxRec, you might as well accept that.

You can make plenty of arguments that this win will not be regarded as impressive, or add to his legacy. I agree with those claims. But at the end of the day it will be in his official record and recognized as such by all appropriate boxing en******.

Does it count? Yes. Either he is 50-0 or 49-1 at the end. Is it embarrassing as hell to him and the sport of boxing? Yes. One of the most embarrassing things to ever take place in the sport fighting a guy who is 0-0-0. It is more than a statistic. They have sanctioned and Pros vs the Joe's scenario which is stooping pretty low for a hugely rich man.

[Robbie Barrett]

Did the fight when Ali fought the wrestler count? How about when Chuck Wepner fought the bear? As long as we get those dudes the credit they deserve, then sure, give Money his 50.

Were they sanctioned boxing matches?

[Real King Kong]

Were they sanctioned boxing matches?

...says the guy who was defending this fight by calling it an exhibition not too long ago.

Chavez sr must a huge embarrassment then since he fought guys that were 0-1 and 1-15... while he was a world champ

[The Time]

Irrelevant question.
It is going to be Floyd's 50th win if he wins and will count as a loss if he loses. The NSAC has already stated they are sanctioning the fight. The WBC is considering putting their diamond belt on the line as well.

It will count on Floyd's record win or lose.

This fight is good for Floyd's pockets but bad for his legacy.

It's about money, not glory.
It is what it is.

And the great Ezekiel Brook fought 2 guys with over 130 losses, another bum with 97 losses, and another guy that was 3-26.

It was "experience" doe...

[sicko]

It should not and honestly, that record means absolutely NOTHING! That is the most useless ***ing record is sports because it confirms absolutely nothing. Even Marciano at 49-0 he still wasn't considered "THE GREATEST"

[HarvardBlue]

It shouldn't count but it will. The only way this affects his legacy is if some how McGregor pulls of an end of the world miracle and get the upset.

[Larry the boss]

Yes for the simple fact that if he somehow lost nobody would be saying it shouldn't count as a loss on his record.

Should fighters with losing records count as wins on resumes?

Floyd could fight any debut fighter he wanted right now and he would still be 50-0.

It's a licensed professional boxing match and if he loses ur gonna say he's 49-1

So yes

exactly..............
