As for losses, you fight risky fights, you can lose some. You fight no risky fights in friendly territory, like Floyd does, then what do you expect?
To bring up Manny's early fights is a joke and we all know that Manny lost controversial losses against Horn and Bradley in which everyone knows that Manny won ....
BUT
lets bring up fights that could have easily gone the other way for Floyd and add this:
- Castillo fights Floyd TWICE in Mexico. Who wins?
- Maidana fights Floyd TWICE in Argentina. Who wins? That's 4 losses right there!!!
and if
- Manny fights Floyd in the Philippines. Who wins? Floyd would be called "hard" and deducted points for all the bear hugging, head locks,.... not rewarded like he does in Vegas!
and if
- The ref correctly DQd Floyd in the Zab Judah fiasco, Floyd would have had another loss! The ref didn't even catch Floyd being knocked down in that one.
and if
- Floyd had the balls to fight the riskier fights where the odds were not so much or not in his favor?
Man, Floyd would have had plenty of losses ....
BTW:
Ali lost 5
Foreman lost 5
Duran lost 16
Hopkins lost 8
Roy Jones lost 9
People will remember Ali's loss and knocked down to Frazier but that was a big part of Ali and who would want to remove that from the trilogy because of a loss? .... it's historical and memorable.
Same with Manny's wins and losses with the likes of Barrera, Morales, Marquez, .....
