    He reminds me of those child prodigies that are literally ******ed. Kind of people you'd introduce yourself to and they'd hit you with a math sum if they were a math genius, then tell you their name.

    Compare him as a person to Ali, Tyson etc and it's man vs child.

    That's exactly what I mean. Think of preserving the "0"

    To an adult it's like welll if you fight enough fights you will lose no one is perfect everyone has an off night. Styles make fights.

    Most people put SRR as one of the greatest ever including myself. Sugar has 19 losses however he fought over 200 times. with some fights very close together.

    Floyd is trying to create an illusion but to people who actually understand the sport that's all it is. an illusion.

    A casual will go on boxrec and see the results but when you live through it yourself then you have context. Of fighters moving up in weight or already taking a beating beforehand. All of these small details matter.

    So someone like Duran will always be greater than Floyd because he didn't try and micro manage his career and was a warrior.

    It's like a young girl wanting to marry a handsome prince in a castle. That's nice and all but it's just a fantasy just like Floyd's 0.

    Spot on.

    And he always moves the goalposts when told that, say, someone like Calzaghe, another fighter from his era, went undefeated.

    The clip where Floyd put himself first on live TV was a glimpse of how deluded he is.
