Floyd is still unbeaten and was still fighting at the highest level
Well into his late 30s whereas most guys had long since retired.
Leonard, Ali, Tyson, Jones were all getting beat up in their late 30s
You obviously want to see Floyd get beaten but it'll never happen
50-0 with hundreds of millions in the bank. He doesn't need Crawford.
If the greats picked and chose their fights to the extent Floyd did and breaks he had in between, they would be fighting until they were 41.
Forget Floyd, his records will be surpassed and he will be forgotten. His legacy is nothing compared to the real great fighters.
Leonard did take breaks between fights
And actually fought ten times less than Floyd.
The man won belts in five weight divisions
And had over 20 world title fights (all of which he won)
I'm not saying Floyd is the greatest of all time (he isn't)
But he's still a great fighter and nobody can argue that.
Leonard took breaks because he was injured not for contractual reasons.

McGregor is a bitch for sure
But what does that have to do with Floyd?

Boxing moves on and if it can find great fighters after Ali and Leonard then it can certainly find them after Floyd.
So why the fuck do you keep talking about him? Because while you keep banging on about him, he remains relevant and boxing doesn't "Move on"!
Let it fucking go ffs.
There is a thread about him so I am commenting on it, Sherlock.
There are a million threads about him and you comment on every single one.
And you can't see what you're doing.... by continually commenting whether good or bad, you are increasing the legacy! Has any Boxer ever been talked about as much, positive or negative?
Because it goes on and on , fence sitters turn around and say "fuck me, like him or not, he must've been something special for all this fuss!"
And then they say "fuck ! He was 50-0 , MAYBE he was TBE?"
Elementary dear Watson.😂
That is the most illogical and dumbest post ever.
(PK would be proud you have won his award)

McGregor is a bitch for sure
But what does that have to do with Floyd?
A bitch? I personally wouldn't go that far, he's done quite a bit in his own field MMA and that's fine, he's just not a boxer.
What does that have to do with Floyd? Well Floyd was the one who made that fight instead of any other fight out there soooo yeah that's on HIM, he was "The Decider" and so now everyone can go and look back and see his record and they'll see the good, bad, and ugly of his career and they'll see McGregor and they'll say "What the fuck was that about 49-0-0 vs 0-0-0?!?!?"
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Ok so basically a thread about IF..... Crawford called out Floyd, when he actually hasn't done it, and probably won't. :rolleyes:
Us boxing fans are a rare breed indeed. ;D

McGregor hasn't even defended a title in his own sport
He's a good (maybe very good) MMA fighter
But he's got a way to go before he can be called great.
As for Floyd, he is great in his own sport
Who cares how he finished his career? Nobody will care
Because most fighters finish their careers getting knocked out
Mike Tyson quit against Kevin McBride for fuck sake!
When people talk about Tyson they don't bring up Kevin
So when people talk about Floyd why would they bring up Conor?

Because it illustrates everything you need to know about Floyd caring more about his zero at the expense leaving a truly great legacy.

He already has built a legacy and Conor does nothing to change that.

Legacy of fighting MMA fighters, a fight 5 years past his best, Hatton at welter, weight stipulations against Canelo, great legacy.

Retiring on that fight is bush league, you know it, I know it, the boxing fans know it.....retire after Pacquiao? Great! Retire after beating a guy who has never boxed before? Not so great. And you're even dumping on it saying Conor isn't even a great MMA fighter HA!
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
McGregor and Hatton are both shit but what about the others...
Corrales, Mosley, Alvarez, Hernandez, Cotto, Marquez, Pacquiao
And De La Hoya? I'm sure you'll have excuses for them all
But fact is they're all hall of fame fighters (or future HOF)

Like I said most go out getting beaten
Pacquiao might retire losing to Horn!
Now that's fucking embarrassing
At least Mayweather beat the bum he fought

@GaMo has already made it quite clear that it doesn't make it better, it is completely irrelevant because in the grand scheme of things no one will talk about that as being the highlight of his career.
I agree with him, people will look back at the Hattons, Ginger Pubes, De La Hoyas, Moseleys etc and his career will be judged on those names, if someone wants to pick holes in them then that is fair enough but signing off with a $100m exhibition fight is good business more than anything, in all fairness I can't believe it is still actually being discussed.

Floyd was suppose to win against a zero fight novice, talk about stacking the cards to ensure he won. What is that going to do to his legacy? Nothing. Just highlights the fact that this win means nothing.
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Nobody is saying his win against McGregor does mean anything
We're going around in circles here. Out of interest who do you rate?
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Master should like this playful side of Floyd...
