If Floyd loses...

What a joke this thread is.

 

I'm not a Floyd fan but he did not lose to Oscar or Maidana. JLC yes, but the Dela Hoya fight is when I stopped liking him. He was talking like he dominated him...this was his Tyson to Berkick moment, his Ali to Liston and he barely got by an aged Oscar. He was acting like he KO'd him.

I just lost that respect when I saw what he considered a 'dominating' performance. When you dominate, your opponent shouldnt be bragging about how his face looks great and he wishes you would fight him in a phone booth after. I dont recall Berick or Liston talking much after their respective losses.

 

:good

 

on the flipside, I doubt these Pac fanatics will say Pacquiao was never that good when Floyd beats him.

 

ye hell be exposed

 

Ortiz was the next superstar, but his skill couldnt keep up with the hype, so was berto. Ottke or whatever his name was undefeated but he didnt become a superstar because he fought no one. Mayweather has been p4p #1 because of his skill not because of his undefeated record or careful matchmaking. if Castillo, corrales, Hatton, ODLH, canelo etc etc are careful matchmaking then every boxer out there right now is cherry picking

 

Floyd won't loose.

 

Mcguigans win over Pedroza is better than any of floyds victories

 

so much hate :rofl

yall scared because you know that 48-0 is coming :happy

 

47-1... Yeah, never that good.

 

Floyd won't loosen his belt?

 

of course not.......His skills are undeniable and so is his accomplishments. Styles make fights and anyone can lose. Floyd hasn't but that has a lot to do with a combination of things......He works hard, he is overly cautious, he is a defensive wizard with a defensive mind and he is risk adverse. If he loses to Manny it's Floyd stepping outside of his comfort zone and taking more risk which is something he's been criticized for......if he loses taking a risk it shouldn't be held against him.

 

If its a close fight and floyd loses it doesnt do much in terms of hurting his legacy. If he goes in and gets absolutely destroyed his legacy will take a hit in a sense that he can no longer claim to be the best ever. all that is out the window and he`ll look foolish pushing it. It wont mean hes not as good as people thought because then the reverse would also be true. if floyd dominates manny does that mean manny wasnt as good as people thought? hell no!

 

By clown logic, Torrecampo, Singsurat are far greater than Manny! :yep:yep:yep

 

And they rank higher than Floyd because that prime atg win is better than anyone Floyd has beaten...
