Floyd never took any risks

[GrandpaBernard]

What fighter doesn't take calculated risks. Matchmakers exist and get paid for a reason

[Curtis Harper]

I Doubt that. As Pac has the better resume and better wins.
Morales, barrera, jmm, thurman, dlh, bradley, cotto, hatton etc etc

May beat up better versions of DLH and Hatton AND before Pac did
May clowned JMM, who Pac went life and death in all of their fights. ONE IN PARTICULAR
May beat the better version of Cotto
Erik beat Pac
Timmy was at deaths door vs Ruslan
MAB was at retirements door
Thurman was largely inactive and coming off an injury
etc, etc......

And less we forget, May beat Pac

[Curtis Harper]

Floyd took risks , damn right he did
Just they were calculated risks

That’s a fancy way of saying cherry pick my man

What risks has Pac ever taken ???

Well he's 8 division champ. Why don't Floyd try being 6 division champ.?
Floyd fans keep winning most deluded polls al most as often as Pac wins best of era polls

[2Shotz]

So ignorant it doesn’t deserve a reply. Every and any fight is a risk. You get in there with ANY of Floyds opposition over the past twenty years and say there was no risk. He fought and defeated the best of his era. I watched his entire career and the man was a special talent. No jock rider. That’s the truth

[BoxingTrav]

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?

He fought immediate rematches in his two closest fights and won both pretty handily. /thread

You Pac fans never include names to those accomplishments

''What about May, though ???''

[The Big Dunn]

Yes, Floyd fought and beat the guys I said he should fight to be mentioned as an atg. He is now a lower echelon ATg below pac, srr, ali, duran.
He took calculated risks. He said he could beat Ggg But didn't test his theory out. He obviously didn't take the risks boxing fans wouldve liked him to. He didn't fight anyone who people thought would destroy him. Could have fought ggg , nelo now at 160. Come on Floyd knock yourself out. Show people your better than people think.
Floyd S 3rd best of era behind Pac and RJJ, and alongside bh. Bh did things people didn't think he could. Floyd only beat past prime, or green guys with cw. Why shouldn't he be favourute?

Of course he took risks, he was just so good that he overcame those risks by fighting in a defensive style where he lowered the punch output of his opponent.

Posters like you, daggum and others really hate Floyd because he defeated all the guys you said he wouldn't. Rather than fight in a way that gave his opponent a chance to win he took away his opponent's best chance to win.

Floyd showed everyone he was better than they thought by beating everyone guys like you posted he couldn't. You are criticizing him for starting his career at 126 and then not fighting at 160? How many men have started their career at 126 and fought at 160?

No matter how many times you post Manny is #1 it will never be true. Even ESPN that hates Floyd had him #1 over Manny. Sorry Hugh you can't change the truth.

Manny has never won any unbiased, credible best of his era polls. Not one. Stop lying.

How long can Floyd live off and milk his doing well in a espn poll donkeys years ago? Times moved on I suggest you do also.
