I hope Mayweather loses (not a hate thread)

i don't think he really needs to "become 10 times the fighter he is now"... he's already the best losing would help his public relations though. people get salty when they never get to see you face adversity (proof: this forum's overboard hatred of floyd himself and joe calzaghe)

I am sure alot of people are going to agree with you. Tons of Floyd haters in this community.

I'll root for Mr boat buyer if he fights SSM or Cotto. If he fights anybody else I hope he gets KTFO.

I agree. He's a very talented boxer. He should be fighting the best the welterweight division has to offer. I acknowledge that he has done well in the past, but there are too many good welterweights for him to continue playing the pick-and-choose game that he plays. It may not tarnish his "0" to not fight the best, but it will tarnish his legacy. He kind of reminds me of Roy Jones. Roy Jones left the middle weight divisions when the divsions were picking up steam because he wanted to fight lesser able opponents at the higher weight classes. Many criticized him then, wondering if he was just avoiding tough challenges. Now, past his prime, he wants to fight again at the middle weights.... The only problem is that now he has to beg for a fight. I wonder if the same could happen to Mayweather. A couple of notable losses, and people will start saying that he was overrated all along. When will boxers realize that the fans don't like the bullshit. Be a man, train hard, fight hard, and we'll love you in the end- win or lose.
