Why do people say Canelo and Floyd were taking risks

[Boxing_1013]

In boxing all it takes is one punch. Look at how Mosley landed on floyd or how cottos brother did canelo when he was green you just never know man. Every fight there is some risk and yes they have all the cards piled on their side but you never know how that one punch can affect you.

I'm not saying they suck at all...as I said, they are two of the best 10 or whatever fighters of the past 2 decades imo.

But yeah whatever they are doing, it isn't taking risks at this point...not big risks anyway...of course if they weren't that good then they wouldn't even be able to go 12 rounds with guys like Mosley, Cotto, GGG etc.

But yeah it is not risky for Canelo to face BJS in Vegas...it is going 12 rounds, and when it does, we know Canelo is winning.

More power to him but yeah it isn't risk taking

Canelo/BJS in Vegas going 12 for a ud for Nelo would probably be one of the safest bets to make this year.

Lol right dude...I can't really see anything else...maybe a MD or SD but yeah good point...wonder what the odds will be

yep, they both should have just fought a bunch of mandatory defenses and then they would be great right?

I mean Floyd never even fought outside of the US man...I'm just saying that usually being the Mega A-side like Floyd and Canelo, means you are a great fighter...but also that you don't really take big risks because you don't have to.

You put everything in your favor and know you just need to go 12...and you can pick the best fighter available against whom you know you will go 12...and when that happens, you get the W.

They aren't picking bums...and obviously I don't think they are bums themselves...they are great fighters and imo probably 2 of the 5 or at worst 10 best pfp of the past 2 decades...imo only Pac, GGG, and Wlad immediately come to mind...with a few others like Loma being maybes.

But when you are that much of a Mega A-side, and have the skills to back it up....you just rarely take any risks.

If Floyd fought Pac in the Phillipines, that is a 'big' risk etc...and because of Floyd's status, he doesn't need to do sh.it like that...same as Canelo.

I am just tired of seeing all these 'Canelo is taking big risks' threads and posts...how risky is it when you know that 9/10 times you are going 12 rounds with someone like BJS...and that 9/10 times if it goes 12 rounds, you are getting the win.

By that math, Canelo is an 80% favorite to WIN vs BJS...and probably 15% to draw...and maybe 5% to lose...I mean how is that a risk.
