Of course, if you're a fan of someone, you don't want them to lose. I know Roy couldn't have gone undefeated because of that bulls**T DQ loss, but he was undefeated in everyones eyes, had never beaten in the ring. I wish he would have just retired after beating Antonio Tarver the frist time. He had NOTHING to prove. He didn't, and got knocked out by Tarver the next time out, oh well. It deosn't take away from how great Roy was and the things he did in his career.
So yes, I want to see Floyd go unbeaten. But, if he loses, oh well. He's still a Top 30-35 ATG, won titles in 5 weight classes, one of the greatest fighters in his era no doubt, and did a lot more than most do in the sport.
I would love to see Floyd go for the Middleweight title, though I doubt he tries. He doesn't have to, but it would be amazing if he accomplished that. If Floyd wins a Middleweight title, and stays unbeaten, he'd be the first fighter in the history of the sport to go through 6 weight classes while staying unbeaten. I doubt he tries it, but that would seal the deal for his legacy if he did that.
If he retires unbeaten, and beats people like Cotto, Canelo, Khan, Pac and/or Sergio, he'd be inside the Top 20 All-Time. He still has a shot to get there, we'll see what happens.
