    who a fighter fought and when will always be more important than a fighter's record
    if a fighter finishes his career with his '0', then the first question you should ask is what fights didn't he make
    a fighter like Oscar will never be known as one of the best the sport has produced, but the fights he made and lost, helped (rather than hindered) how he would be remembered

    People care about 0's, even when fighter's have 0's haters of those fighter's are still trying to give them a loss. Floyd has Castillo, Calzaghe has "if he would've fought this or that guy at this time...he'd definitely have a loss" claim, and it continues on into today like Danny with Herrera. Everyone wants their favorite fighter to be undefeated and haters of fighter's want them to have a losses. Everyone cares about 0's, for all the wrong reasons...

    Yes it's extremely important. You have to try to preserve that 0.

    are you interested in how he does it, or do you think the '0' is everything?

    He knows the whole world wants to see him lose to Pacquiao . He knows himself Manny has a chance of beating him . so in Floyds minds hes thinking

    "F#ck that , im not taking no chance in letting this dude take my "0" and let the boxing world have their satisfaction at my demise "

    I believe It has something to do with ego as well . I think him losing his "0" to a Filipino would really destroy him mentally and he would never recover from that .

    Theres no chance in hell this fight will ever happen .

    I don't think it has anything to do with where pacman is from
    but I agree that Floyd isn't hot for the fight because he knows pac isn't a fight that is in the bank

    Who you fight will always trump just having an 0 on your records, but the true reason we don't get the fights when we should is because of Mayweather and how fans or critic's try to make him out.

    Everyone always says Mayweather cherry picked his way to the top making these young fighter think they can do it to not realizing Mayweather fought the #1 guy in 4/5 divisions to be #1. People continuously praise these entertaining fighters fighting bums and bash Mayweather fighting Champs if you were them why would you take a risk when you can get more credit and be labeled a beast fighting an unranked or #10 fighter

    If you think Mayweather is TBE your probably a superfan but the ducking thing is overblown how do you duck guys who say they don't want to fight you and how do you duck the losers of lesser fights to fight the winners of bigger fights you list any Welter in the top 10 and give them Mayweather's last 4 fights its either a top 5 win on there record or a top 5 win on there record at the weight and in most cases both

    Even the OP says he doesn't care when it just comes from a padded a record, yet he outwardly will say Danny Garcia has a loss even though he's ducked no one. This shows he simply doesn't want Danny to be undefeated regardless if he's ducked no one. I think he's just a ******* full of hot doo doo who doesn't want anyone to be undefeated just like his hero, and it goes for many others as well.

    some 0's are important and the rest are not. floyd has had is for almost 18 yrs thats damn long time. you can have a padded career all you want but at some point you gone have to fight world champions. i think floyd has fought like 22 world champions thats about half his fights. plus peole have been wanting floyd to lose for like the pass 15 yrs so it's important for him to keep and the guys he fights to take it away.

    pacquiao taking bradley's 0 was 3rd best even though he did it twice but was robbed in the 1st fight. bradley was ranked 4 and as high as 3 before manny beat him for the 2nd time so to me that was a big deal and good 0 to take. only other 0 worth a damn besides floyds now is ward. beating ward is an important 0 to take oh and garcia, you can take his 0 you doing something.

    porter 0 dont me ****
    thurman 0 means a little more then porters
    ggg 0 dont mean ****
    quilln 0 dont mean ****
    russell jr 0 dont mean ****
    m. garcia 0 dont mean ****
    gaboa 0 dont mean ****

    RIGONDEAUX almost forgot his 0 is important as well not that many pro fights but if you can take his 0 you bad sum ***** !!

    its alot of 0's that dont mean **** but i think some do depending on the fighter and there resume.

    Regardless who ran first or whatever, but the bottom line is that if Mayweather never fights Pac, it affects his legacy TREMENDOUSLY and damages Manny's none at all.

    Everyone agrees Floyd is an ATG, but TBE? Not unless he fights Manny, and soon. If he waits until Pac is washed up it wont mean as much.
