Reminder: if Mayweather were as great as he says, he'd take REAL risks.

    and im saying only 3 (4 - jt rematch) are acceptable

    bhop SHOULD HAVE beat tito
    bhop SHOULD HAVE beat pavlik
    bhop SHOULD HAVE beat tarver

    he is a superior boxer and those guys really have no business being in the ring with him...and bhop proved this.... they were not risky fights for him.....all 3 of them were fairly easy infact

    What the **** do you mean "acceptable"? Jesus Christ, man, all six of those guys were betting favorites. I'm sure you'd like to go back and rephrase your question, but that's what you asked for and that's what you got. Try again next time.

    that betting favorite **** is for fools.... bhop DESTROYED pavlik... what the odds makers say have nothing to do with what occurs in the ring... everyone in the world just assumed bhop was just old and washed up

    only bhop could answer that.... what we could answer & measure are kelly pavlik's skills and bernards hopkins skills and bernard is 100x better then kelly in the skills department and thats what mattered

    you cant just let the odds makers influence your choices..they arent god's with iron sticks who determine boxing life... THEY ARE WRONG sometimes... and upsets occur as well... like i said in an earlier post... the odds mean nothing... you compare skill vs skill and that should be the ultimate measure of taking a true risk

    also as i said before... the only time a fight can truly be viewed as risky is if you lose or win by a slim margin

    Again: You asked for fights in which B-Hop was the underdog. I gave you SIX of them. Deal with it, *****.

    im not talking about the ****ing odds makers.... the odds makers can suck my dick... them dudes are not right every single time....

    im talking about truly deep down inside when you break down each guy skill for skill how many fights was bhop TRULY the underdog in... or even close...

    your problem is that you allow the odds makers to control your state of mind... you think what them dudes say goes..


    edit: bhop proved that you & the odds makers are ****ing suckers 6 ****ing times... thats why im saying the "odds makers" are just people who make lines... they arent all knowing beings

    What you're talking about is stupid. Hope that helps.

    how... if thats the case its impossible (under your risk calculation system) mayweather will ever take a risk because he will be the odds favorite in every single fight from 147 under...

    you should want to agree with me that the odds mean ****ing nothing..... it helps out your argument more than mine

    Void had the chance to fight Pac, he refused. Void refused to fight Margarito, Cotto, Williams, you name it. Void has to have his referee and judges also.

    Floyd will go into the HoF and be considered an ATG, but as of right now but Im more likely to remember Chico than Mayweather 10 years from now if Floyd's legacy remains as it is because he never took the risk that people wanted and Chico did.

    Do you think a safety first fighter like DLH was a big risk to Floyd?

    Chico and Mayweather basically fought the same guys. You only place a higher premium of what constitutes risk because Mayweather is the greater fighter. Which is par for the course for most FLoyd haters because if anyone looks at Floyds resume with objectivety it is stocked with big names, champions and what would be "risk" to any good fighter. Floyd just happened to be great.
