Floyd has many nemesis especially outside the ring and that would assure that he would still be talked about when he retires from boxing for good and for keeps with his O intact.
Father Time will be his most formidable nemesis if he elects to fight on for some more years.
Manny Pacquiao is his biggest nemesis though there's very little chance they would ever meet in the ring while they are still in their prime.
Though chances are they will never fight, their names will forever be entwined in the annals of boxing.
not entirely accurate, but i think you have a point... humanity 101, we all love to talk about the great fall rather than the victories, hitler, mussolini, bonafarte, etc... that one mistake rather than the good deeds... that's why people watch floyd everytime he fights b/c they wannts to see him lose...
if we're talking of just being "talked about" and not of records.... popularitywise so to speak.... w/o that someone who will bring war and punish floyd for being who he was as a boxer, his name in the future will be one of the many instead of one of the few... he have to find his match instead of avoiding them
we don't talk Cowards.. like Floyd..
truth: most legends who retired undefeated are barely talked about...nobody talks about them much like how ali, tyson, leonard, pacquiao etc are being talked about... their story are being told again and again b/c of their struggle against their nemesis, both their victories and defeats gives the fans stories they love to tell over and over again
if floyd wants his story echo in the future, he needs to find himself a "nemesis"...do you think it will be canelo? will floyd gain more if he gives his virginity to canelo?...
or will it mean the end of his career? aint there a lot of PR crisis management contractors out there to hire? w/ all the money floyd got, wont be a problem, he'll bounce back in a jeepy\
or worst, he chose to keep his "egg" intact and continue to his promise to preserve his health and fight non-strong champs till he reitres
do you think floyd's story will be the kind much talked about in the future if he fails to find his nemesis?
will he ever find a nemesis? how?
