Funny? What ever are you talking about? Dude, I never said business decisions were bad for the sport, and I sure ain't giving Leonard a pass. Leonard beat Duran, Hearns, and Hagler, I don't imagine he has any problems in the confidence department.

What do you think about business decisions? You're a Floyd fan aren't you? There's a walking talking business decision if there ever was one.

IMO Leonard have would have picked Pryor apart and knocked him out. But that's a different story.
Business decisions are fine...no im not a floyd fan, but i respect his talent and at the same time hate his "business decisions", having said that I've wanted him to fight shane for the past several years just to see it because those are two of my top 5 all time...and since RJJ was too big to see a fight with him and shane then the next two on the list are actually plausible.
fair enough. Hey, I would have liked to see Leonard fight Pryor too. All I'm saying is, sure Leonard may have passed on an offer to fight Pryor, or maybe Pryor called him out and Leonard declined, but I just don't think "fear of losing", or "risk of losing", was a prime factor for Leonard.

Funny thing about Floyd. I read an interview with him once, and on the question of "ducking" the top welterweights he never denied it, he came right out and said more or less that since he had already moved up four or five divisions, he felt no obligation to call out the big prime welterweights.
