Bottom line is that the most dangerous fights out there for him are Pac, Williams, Cotto and Mosley. Will he keep taking the easy option during his comeback so that his 0 stays in tact and the 0s in his bank increase? If he were to get beat I don't think he could handle it. It would affect so many aspects of his life - the good things. Take a ****ing risk Floyd after the JMM fight.
Yes he is,after Castillo showed him he could be beat he stopped fighting the best and started going after the lowest risk/biggest reward fights available.
All fighters fear the moment a loss comes From Mayweather on down to the Brave Evander Holyfield fear of loss is exactly what drives a fighter to be great it makes him work harder. its not about is he affraid to lose, the question is about Floyd is he affraid to take a fight against a guy like Pacquiao that could actually beat him and probably by stoppage, is Floyds Ego so big that he would avoid that fight simply so he doesnt hear from the people how he was starched by the smaller man. Floyds Ego is the issue, he wants to be the man he wants to be the best P4P, in reality I still see it as something along these lines, Floyd was rated the best P4P during a time when Boxing was hitting an all time low. The heavyweights went to ****, Jones started to fade, Hopkins dismantled Trinidad, De La Hoya was lossing stock etc.... Floyd was the only rising start at that point with the skill set he has, Manny was still un known during this time, and I really think that since Manny has developed he really did raise the bar as to what a true P4P champion should perform like. Not only is Manny using speed and skills but he is destroying these guys he isnt playing it safe he is in there to do damage, Floyd doesnt fight that way so I do not ever see him reaching this status again unless he beats Manny and does it convincingly.
All fighters are scared of losing. IN floyd's case I think he may be a little more so than others. He has made it no secret that this is only about the money to him and losing the 0 on his record would probably mean losing a 0 on his paychecks as well. He does not have the fan friendly style or perosnality that will make people stay loyal to him after a loss.
