Floyd never took any risks

[LoadedWraps]

Floyd was the favorite in every single fight in his career. why didn't he take any risks? pac has been uhe underdog at least 4 times i could find, probably more. canelo 3 times. eric crumble every time. do you think it hurts floyds legacy? do you think someday floyd will be rememberd as the risk-averse bum basher of his day? similar to how ggg is now?

Floyd risked life and limb facing guys like Judah, Baldomir, Mosley, Oscar, and Maidana, like a true champion.

If Floyd and Pacquiao had fought in 2010 I think PAC would have been seen as the favorite.

oh thats weird...Station Casinos, which operates a chain of properties across this area, established Pacquiao as a slight early favorite of roughly 3-2 odds on wagers that become live action if the fight occurs before Jan. 1, 2011.

oh woops i forgot the baldomir fight. baldomir was actually a 5 to 1 favorite in that one which kept with the tag line "pretty risky" my bad. thread fail

The 85 Bears and the undefeated Patriots team were never the underdog either. Kareem’s UCLA hoops teams were never the underdog .

When you are the best you are always going to be the favorite to win and therefore “ not take any risks.”

Being great and better than everyone else in your given sport or field defines legacy, it doesn’t hurt it. Only here on nsb with Floyd do some weird posters want greatness to be a negative.

As for ggg, if you put his resume next to floyd, who fought world champions and top p4p boxers, it it understandable why ggg would be labeled a bum beater because he didn’t fight anywhere near the resume Floyd did.

What a strange comment? Someday? He's been seen as risk averse his whole career, trying to get advantages. of course it hurts his career, Pac S seen as best of era.
It wouldn't have been hard for floyd to be underdog. But he didn't want to fight Ggg at 160 or sergio.
There were guys his own size he'd have been favourite against like thurman, spence, crawfird.
But he ducked them also. He didn't take toughest fights in general.

you have to set the trap so people face plant right into it. you just set them up by saying the same exact things they just said about someone else but change the name. you literally just copy paste change name and then they debate against themselves. a little evil but its all in good fun. floyd is tbe. i mean everyone knows that

lol took the words right out my mouth who in the world would be a favorite over the G.O.A.T. There's not one boxer in Floyd era that was on his level.The closest was Oscar.And we all know what happened to Oscar lol

cept pac was the favorite over him he just didnt fight pac at that moment so this makes no sense. Station Casinos, which operates a chain of properties across this area, established Pacquiao as a slight early favorite of roughly 3-2 odds on wagers that become live action if the fight occurs before Jan. 1, 2011.

also floyd and oscar weren't really in the same era at least imo. hoya was at the end of his career and floyd right in the prime when they fought. hoyas era was trinidad, mosley(another old man floyd victim), quartey, etc..

Its weird when you refer to " They" say.

You wear the ol fanboy blinkers like a racehorse thats scared of shadows where you only see a few words that jump out, so fragile.

Fanboys like you have a very narrow field of vision thats why you appear so delusional to the rest of us.

the they refers to anyone making a hypocritical argument that they instantly switch when talking about someone else. you would understand that from reading the post or from context clues. well i thought you would but here you are being pedantic and debating pronouns instead of the argument. either the argument is a sound one or its not. I haven't even put forth my own argument. I'm just exposing a bad one and yet I'm a fanboy for exposing other fanboys bad arguments? it was a silly argument thats all. it doesnt mean you cant love floyd. you still can. dont worry

Floyd signed to fight Manny, Manny walked away from the fight so how is Floyd to blame?
