    I'm talking of an undefeated boxer who likes to talk about, jabbed, accuse, poke, smear or call him names but until now he never had the urge or guts to fight him. He'd rather retire or prioritize his health first rather than fighting him.

    Yeah I have no idea what that means..

    To answer your question though; no scared doesn't mean coward.. It's popular to call that undefeated boxer that you speak of a coward so everyone does it...

    Everyone is scared and has fear. Anyone that says different is a liar.

    But everyone handles fear different, like Cus D'mato said, if you handle fear like fire, it can cook for you, heat your house etc.. but if you cannot control it, it will burn you.

    As far as the Floyd situation, Floyd hasn't controlled his fear of Pacquiao yet.

    Scared means " dont put words in my mouth"
    Coward means " health comes first"

    :lol:The truth is none of great boxers in boxing history never said those words even Duran,Ali, SRR etc. They dont even say there are the best. Only his followers on this site believe him. He's a fraud claiming to be the bestt but never foght guys that are risky. He's a joke, once his done or got lost he will never be remembered unlike others whos got more losses in their career.

    anyone that fights lesser fighters and has no problem beating them down while calling themselves great instead of fighting the top guys, is not only a coward, but is a bully as well.

    we all know who those fighters are.
