    To be the best you've gotta beat the best out there. You can't say that Floyd has done that over the years. He's turning into another Oscar for crying out loud. He may make noises about the guys I've mentioned but boxing today is producing a different kind of fighter/man. I respect any man that steps into the ring but and every great fighter has fought their share of bums but Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran to name but four all fought the best at some point and more than once.

    There were more guys in the past willing to risk it all, that breed if fighter is dying. Floyd says he's the p4p1 well ****ing beat the nearest rivals to you in your division. You're a ****ing welterweight these days and you have the beating of all of them on your day. Step up to the ****ing plate son.

    I think any fighter is afraid of losing, especially when ur in the elite level like Floyd Mayweather.

    I understand that but the greatest fighters in the sport's history have at some point in their career risked it all. Floyd for me has never done that. At this moment he cares about his bank balance, his marketability and his 0.

    Floyd is and always will be one of the most naturally talented fighters ever but if he wants to be remembered as a legend of the sport go out there after JMM and fight your rivals, beat them and be a great. You're not there yet.

    Floyd is incredibly afraid of losing because the biggest part of his claim to being the greatest boxer ever is that he has never lost, just watch his interview with Brian Kenney where he tries to say he's P4P #1 over Pac because he hasn't lost and Pac has 3 losses.

    Yes, Floyd is definitely risking his own legacy if he were to protect that "0". Time will tell if he will take on bigger challenges. His fight with JMM w/c can probably be forgiven due to his long layoff but if he still doesn't step up to the challenge after, then it will be very clear this might be the case.

    These days, managers and promoters in general, are so much more careful than they have been in the past. There are exceptions of course, but since guys like Jones and Mayweather have the final say in picking their opponents, it does seem, from the choice of their foes , they are afraid of losing.
    Sure , Mayweather picked a highly regarded Marquez to fight, but the choice seems calculated considering that Floyd muscled up considerably during his hiatis, and that Marquez was still fighting at 130 a little more than a year ago.

    A fair fight is the first sign of poor strategy.
