Is 42-0 a big deal?

16 years a champ

no just no

not at all

never unified a title neither

only guy to beat a "champ lol" coming off a loss

 

Floyd is a good fighter but he doesn't fight the best! I wanted to see him fight Shane, Cotto and Margarito 5 years ago! FFS.. He avoided them @ their peak! FACT..

 

On its own it means nothing to me. Almost without fail, guys with that 0 for a significant amount of time have fighters that they somehow managed not to fight, or fight when they were past it.

At the very least it is up there. But it's not just Floyd who this applies to.

To me its all about the marketing. Promoters feel they can market that 0, and they do. It has almost taken on a life of its own.

But we as fans are also ridiculously fickle. How many guys have been written off after a loss? But it happens when you consistently fight stiff competition. Even to the best.

It needs to be kept in perspective.

 

Yes, considering his resume it's quite an achievement.

 

It means attention and $. Not many would even understand what 5 weight division champion means.
