    I'd say so. Everyone in the world is waiting for him to take a loss. But it just doesn't happen.

    16 years without a loss. That's some scary stuff.

    This aura.

    He doesn't have that aura that intimidates anyone. He has the aura of being a talented boxer that can stay undefeated and i won't argue that but he doesn't have aura like Tyson did when he is on a weigh in, press conference or his ring walks and the way Tyson carried himself where people hated him and few like him but respected by most and Floyd does not have this aura.

    Floyd has a much bigger UNDEFEATED AURA than Tyson's prime. People thought Tyson was unbeatable when he was 37-0, but it pales in comparison to Floyd's 43-0.

    Like I said, Floyd is smarter and possibly better boxer than Tyson so yes he has the aura of being that great boxer with excellent defense that can stay undefeated for a long time. The aura i'm talkin bout is different, u know that aura that Tyson had about him that made the boxing world buzzing and made people terrified of him because of his real upbringing/street credit and being an explosive KO boxer.

    I don't think you understand the meaning of Aura of invincibility. When Tyson was prime and undefeated no one thought that anyone out there could beat him. He was a 41-1 favorite against douglas. Floyd has never been that heavy of a favorite against anyone.

    There is plenty of guys out there right now that think that floyd is beatable, such was not the case with Tyson. I'd say floyd is about where RJJ was in his prime in terms of Aura of invincibility.

    i wouldn't say it's an aura of invincibility at all.

    there are several fighters that have called him out. there are several that can beat him. he just chooses not to acknowledge the guys who can and has done so over several years.

    guys like tyson, jones and chavez were feared. i don't believe anyone fears floyd.
     
  11. PAC 2008-2010 had a bigger unstoppable aura than baby floyd ever had

    And Tyson had that aura also where you don't see many people talking bad about him especially in his face because if you did, you know in your heart that he will kill you, i mean literally kill you with 1 punch. And Tyson didn't have to do that, basically you know already by lookin at his body language and his eyes that u don't mess with a guy like that.

    With Floyd, he maybe the better boxer, better defense and smarter fighter, but he just don't have that street credit or intimidating toughness about him, u see even children and people clowning him like he is a little kid.

    Bottom line, Floyd has the aura of being a great smart technical boxer, but not the intimidating aura like Tyson did.

    See the difference now?

    Definitely stronger than Chavez but not as much as Tyson or RJJ
