Does Floyd have more to lose than any other figher in history if he loses a fight?

Would you guys say that Roy Jones was in this same category before he ultimately lost? I mean, he had that invincible factor working for him.

Well yeah, in this day and age a single loss is seen as bummifying by comparison and it would hamper Floyd's marketability significantly more than any other fighter now or before because of his attitude problem and his stigma being based around his "0" or pll wanting to see it lost.

As for economically, it would barely make any difference whatsoever to Floyd, he is so rich anyway!

Yes, because people HATE Floyd and the second he loses, people will say "SEE, he was only undefeated all these years because he ducked everyone good, when he finally fought someone tough he lost!! SEE!!!"

To me, Floyd is one of the top 3 greatest of all time who ever got in the ring. People discredit him and say he ducked the hardest fights, which is nonsense.

But ok, assume that's true: Floyd always had one or two guys he avoided because he thought they could beat him.

Floyd has been a world champion since 1998, when he beat Genaro Hernandez. That's 16 years, 16 FUCKING YEARS, of fighting nothing but championship fights against other champions or top 10 ranked contenders, without a loss.

That kind of consistency over time is unheard of in any sport. Hopkins has had great longevity, but he's dropped numerous fights along the way.

To always come in in top shape, never underestimate a guy, and get shit done for 16 years against champions and top 10 opposition without so much as ONE slip up is, in itself, remarkable.
