Floyd is still fighting in his 40s. Floyd is addicted to a lavish lifestyle that puts him at far greater risk of going broke than Ward. Not everyone has Floyd's combination of talent and personality. He's a once in a lifetime, or a once in the history of the world, kind of talent/media personality.
Sure, anyone would prefer the career Floyd had over the career Andre had, but Andre is a good role model for fighters in terms of making smart reasonable choices, not wasting money, and getting out early.Comment

I’m not arguing that whatsoever but Floyd has benefited considerably more financially from boxing than Ward.Floyd is still fighting in his 40s.

I was referring to Ali’s life over Floyd/ Ward’s btw.
Saying legacy is for fools is BS as well man. So disrespectful to some of the legends of the sport, who were prepared to sacrifice it all.Comment

It's a fine line tho...if everyone was andre ward, the sport wouldn't last long. The viewership would dwindle and people on the business side of things would get tired of overpaying fighters and losing money. He's an anomaly really.Comment

Canelo or Golovkin are worth Ortiz and Fury together.
We know you have ****** stipulations like they have to be "voluntaries" to try and make Wilder appear better than he is. Saying Wilder only cares about honour/legacy while he's turning down a massive fight over money is flat out ******ed. But we all know Wilder fans aren't the brightest.Comment

Sure, all good points. The networks shouldn't have let Ward get away with what he got away with. He gamed the system. Good for him. Roy Jones did the same thing, just wasn't smart enough to walk away after beating Ruiz. Fighters should make their money, be smart, and get out. If they damage the sport in the process, not their problem.Comment

So you can’t answer my question as I have proved you WRONG.Canelo or Golovkin are worth Ortiz and Fury together.

Unlucky kid but you were clearly out of your depth.
They have to be voluntary because that’s the fighter choosing to take the fight as opposed to the fight being mandated dumbass.😭😭
I’m not even a Wilder fan😭😭 I’d favour AJ to beat him and agree AJ is the A-side. I just respect the fact Wilder is taking on two tough fights back to back, he DIDN’T HAVE TO take.
Something no other fighter has done recently. Unless you want to try again???😂😂
Obviously you deluded fanboys can’t see past the fact he is the threat/opposition to AJ so constantly try and bash him.
It’s sad really, get a life you little worm.Comment

Many of whom wound up broke and destitute. If you focus on the money, you'll take the fights that bring the money, and fights bring money because fans want them. So legacy will come. But if legacy is your focus, you're liable to wound up broken down and broke as well.
This isn't rocket science, brain surgery, or cancer research. It's entertainment. Frivolous nonsense. Make your money, save your money, and leave. You don't owe the fans anything. They pay for the fight. You fight. End of transaction.Comment

No fighter has to take any fight. Ortiz never beat anyone of note and Fury hasn't beat anyone since Klitschko he's also gained and lost 100+lbs in that time. Usyk didn't have to fight the guys in the CW tournie, Same at SMW. Canelo/Golovkin didn't have to fight each other. You made up a ****** stipulation to try and give Wilder more credit than he deserves. If you don't think Haymon had any influence in Wilder fighting Ortiz you're even more ******, Haymon promised Ortiz a title shot and got him one.So you can’t answer my question as I have proved you WRONG.
