The meaninlessness of being unbeaten

[Fenster]

Are you saying Mayweather and Lopez are not all-time greats? They needed a loss to attain this status? Or they simply don't belong amongst the "greats?"

I think that opinion will be in the minority.

You can't compare boxing with ANY other sport. A loss in boxing is not the end but numerous losses most certainly is. Tiger Woods or Roger Federer could go years without winning but one great week and all is forgoten.

A fighter can only take so many losses before he becomes no longer relevant. Which means he doesn't even get a future chance of glory. Not only is his health at risk but his monetary value drops considerably. The "0" can be a great selling point - hence Mayweather-Hatton being billed as Undefeated.
