And look who you just compared him to. One of the greatest boxers in history.
And that's my point. It should be easy to beat someone who hasn't fought in so long but when you're dealing with a person who is that good, it's a different story.
Well at the same time if he fought a gantlet of opponents, say like Froch, maybe he'd have a loss or two. If he fought Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Mosley, Cintron, all those guys when the division was HOT, rather than retiring for two years, maybe he loses one of those fights. But like Floyd said he's about self preservation.
That's why I never trip on an undefeated record. We look at past greats Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Archie Moore, etc, these guys fought very very tough opponents back to back to back, so naturally a guy is going to lose here or there because the competition is so fierce and frequent.
Not taking away from Floyd, he's AMAZING in the ring, but there is some truth to fighting once or twice a year that probably has assisted in his undefeated record. There is of course politics and money that factor in. I'm sure Robinson wouldn't fight twice a month if he was making $40 million a fight either!
