Did Floyd ever take a "Risk" in his career?

[Matt60]

I know Floyd wrongly gets a lot of criticism for allegedly ducking some fighters. I don't believe it. At the same time, I don't think Floyd took a risk in his career outside of the ODLH fight. Has Floyd ever took a risk like going a great fighter, a bigger fighter, a fight where the circumstances were against him (ring size, gloves, arena, etc.)? I give Floyd props for going against the bigger ODLH at a weight class he wasn't used to. That was a great win that propelled him as the face of boxing. After that, I'm not sure if Floyd took any major risks.

When I think of major risks, I think of SRL going up in weight after retirement to face the Great Marvin Hagler or Ali fighting Peak George Foreman in another country. Or Teo facing Loma when as a young green fighter.

I agree. He never took big risks. Minor at most - I guess you could call the Canelo fight a minor risk.

The Canelo fight was a risk. Moving up and fight Castillo who was world champion was also a risk

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Floyd doesn't take 50/50 fights and he most definitely isn't gonna take a fight hes not favored in.

This has been proven time and time again.

The best version of Floyd was PBF before the fame. ODLH was a huge fight for him but look at how he ruined that too. ****ing retired so he didnt have to fight OLDH again and escaped with an SD.

Disgusting

You people a fked in the head, how do you fight the quality he went against and not take risks Ive never heard so much total BS out of casuals more than in here. He fought the same opponents others did some were younger some were older the only difference Floyd never lost while the others did, and because he never lost he protected his 0 but the ones that lost took risks, what a braindead way of thinking.

George Foreman was not "peak" at 25.

[TheBoxGod]

Canelo fight would have been a risk at 154 which is why Floyd forced the catchweight so he can still keep the allure of canelo name but handicap him with the catchweight.

[famicommander]

24-0-0-0 against world champion opponents.

[RespekonMyName]

It's a risk everytime you step in that ring. A lot of you guys on here have no respect for the sport.

Risk fights for normal dudes are cake walks for Floyd.
