Thread: If Floyd had losses

Being undefeated is who floyd is and what every single proffesional fighter wants to be..

Everyone wants to be undefeated and if it wasnt for the montell griffin disqualification roy would have possibly retired a long time ago.

Being undefeated can be a gift and a curse at the same time especially when your the boss at the same time!

The pressure is not only on floyd but on the opponent who knows no one has never actually took him to a place that isnt part of his make up.

Khan was undefeated but those losses and a better trainer has made him a much better fighter.

But there are some fighters who cant actually change their style and the way they were exposed in the past will continue to happen again against any certain type of opponent in the future.

Not every fighter wants to be undefeated they want to be great and remember and just having an 0 doesn't make you great.

Yes or no?

The fight with Judah was a draw and the fight with Oscar was a loss as well.

Please never become a judge, they are bad enough already

Floyd is both great and undefeated, though.

That's true but for him to say every fighter wants to be undefeated isn't true.

What fighter wants to lose? I have to think, if given the choice, every fighter would want to be undefeated.

Not saying any fighter wants to lose but not all of then are obsessed about their 0 as Floyd is some just went to test then self and be great leave behind a legacy that's worth going back an watching. They want to fight the best.

Bad judging, of course!

Yeah but I think, if given the choice, they'd prefer to do that and come out of it undefeated. Floyd tested himself and left behind an incredible legacy that's worth going back and watching, and he never lost. That's pretty amazing.

I know a lot of people think Floyd never fought anyone good, but of all the guys people claim he ducked (Marg, Paul Williams, ect), the only one I think would have given him a good fight would have been Pacquaio.

Haha yeah, I think people are stretching it when they say Maidana and DLH should have been loses.

The only time it can be argued Floyd lost was the first Castillo fight.

Anywhere but Vegas & Floyd would have lost to Castillo & Maidana 1 Floyd didn't really adjust in the rematch with Maidana he just hired a minder who doubled as referee Kenny Bayless. Bayless was there to do a Cortez type job to make sure Maidana didn't get chance to fight. I said when Bayless was announced as ref that he would be a key factor in the fight. I never thought he would do what he did tho I used to think he was a good referee but now he's losty all credibility for me
