See how can I take someone seriously who says something like that.

Never took a risk? :roll eyes:

It's incredible how jaded people become as fans when people can look at guys Floyd fought in the last 10 years and say there was no risk involved. My lord.
What fight would say he was at risk of losing after the Castillo fights Hatton? Maybe but we already saw what limitations he had against Collazo DLH or Mosley? Sure if you pay no attention to a past by date Cotto? Sure just disregard the KO loses to Margarito and Pac Alvarez? If you like. Trout already showed the blue print. Pac? You already know this was too late to matter

So what about Martinez who was 160 champ? Ward who was 168 champ or now GGG? All 3 said they would drop in weight for the opportunity Even Pacquiao in 2010 would have been closer to 50/50.

The thing is Floyd may have won all those fights but he never dared to take the challenge

Personally I think if Floyd fought GGG now instead of Berto he may be the underdog, against Martinez without a catch weight I think it might have been closer odds than the Ortiz or Gueerero fights, lets not even mention Ward; when those opportunities present themselves the greats step up
