    More or less than you think? Should every fighter strive to have 0 defeats?

    Less, look at Floyd Mayweather, scared as hell to lose that 0, so he ducked boxers and fought boxers past their prime to keep that 0 in tact. If Floyd had already a couple of losses early in his career, he probably wouldn't have ducked anyone. So the 0 is like Marciano's 0, Ali had 6 losses and is still considered TBE.

    depends who you fight.

    if you fight 44 subnationals and then 2 decents then its worth the same as having 2 decent wins.

    Who would you say he was afraid of?

    If he was, why would he rematch maidana and Castillo, two guys who arcuabky beat him or drew with him in their 1st meetings?.

    Off the top of my head, Antonio Margarito and a Prime Pacman in 2009 are two examples, sure there's more.

    Why would he be afraid of either of those two when they are number 2s and he is Floyd mayweather.

    That's a video? That's not real life. Do you have an actual evidence?

    So he rematched two fighters you say he lost too, but he was afraid of marg in 2009?

    See that doesn't make sense. Go do some homework kid :yep

    He lost to Castillo in a close fight but won the rematch convincingly, Maidana had a strong case for a draw in 1 but again, immediate rematch. Never considered him unbeaten and don't hold it against him, he's pretty much lost less than 25 rounds in the last ten or eleven fights against largely high caliber opposition contrary to 'cherry pick' conspiracy :lol:
