        Manny has taken alot more risks.
        50% Thurman
        Adrien "Has problems" Broner
        Lucas "Who?" Matthysse
        Jeff "The Janitor" Horn
        Jessie"Hasnt ever been relevant" Vargas
        Real killers there.

            Anyone who was following the sport 15-20 years ago knows Floyd stopped taking risks as his profile increased and as his purses grew. His primary game was to always make certain he held a massive footspeed / distance control advantage over anyone he was fighting. Floyd knew from the Augustus fight (and then later the Castillo fights) what his limitations were. When he planted his feet he was only a great fighter. When he could stay on his bike against somebody who had no hope of ever catching him consistently he was an elite fighter.

                  Floyd risked life and limb facing guys like Judah, Baldomir, Mosley, Oscar, and Maidana, like a true champion.
                  - Judah had lost his previous fight AND lost almost all of his fights at 147 against notable boxers. Floyd fought Judah at 147. At 147, Judah lost to Baldomir, Spinks, Clottey, Cotto, Paulie Malignaggi and Floyd.

                  - Baldomir. Is this one a joke? Why did you put this guys name on the list? Seriously?

                  - Mosley was older and rusty as nails. Hadn't fought in almost 1.5 years.

                  - Oscar had like 1 fight in about 3 years before fighting Floyd. Oscar was more promoter than fighter by then.

                  - Maidana - Floyd had cherry picked Maidana .... AND had Maidana put on pillow gloves and cried to get a ref that would make sure that Maidana would get penalized. Kenny Bayless said BEFORE the fight he was already thinking about the time that he deducted points from Maidana in a previous fight and was ready to pull the trigger in the Floyd fight .... AND DID!!!!


                  I cannot believe some of the names that you picked. For all of those fights, Floyd was the favorite to win.

                      This thread is interesting. Both Floyd and Manny fight opponents in 70/30 type fights. There are posters that will give Manny credit for "taking a risk" and not Floyd, even though each has the same chance of winning.

                      Floyd defeats Corrales as an underdog and that is not considered taking a risk. Floyd fights bigger men and that isn't considered taking a risk. Yet if Manny wins as an underdog or fights a bigger man it is considered taking a risk.

                      How is this possible?
                      Some have pointed out that Floyd was the favorite going into the Corrales fight but to make things worse, Diego was in a heap of trouble due to being weight drained and had the flu that week.

                      Floyd markets Maidana as a KO artist then has him fight in pillow gloves. Then cries to get the "right" ref to deduct points!

                      Canelo was supposedly the "bigger" guy but Floyd made sure that he had to drain him down to 152lbs! Besides youth (but green fighter), Floyd basically tried to take away Canelo's only true advantage! Height and reach? Floyd had an advantage on reach while they were basically the same height!



                      See, even others have called you out that for Floyd, you have been trying to protect your hero from taking risks while you still want Manny to fight Crawford and Spence! Yet, here you are, trying to defend Floyd as a risk taker! Comical!
