I would add Roy Jones Jr. to the list of great fighters who couldn't have accomplished what he did without taking a great deal of risk.

Here's another question for you, H2O Man: we know what happened when Canelo met Floyd in the ring (already 10 years ago!). But what if prime Canelo had fought Floyd? Do you think he would have won? Or would Money Mayweather still have prevailed but by a closer decision? That's kind of any odd way to phrase it because one judge had it a draw, but she was an outlier and later resigned. The other two judges scored it comfortably for Floyd.
