If by some freak accident or twist of fate, BOTH Manny and Floyd jr. would lose, who do you think would be affected more in terms of popularity and standing in the rankings? I'd like to know your opinions.
My apologies in advance if someone already posted a similar thread...
damn, you're the most annoying nuthugger of all time. Stick with the topic and answer the freakin' question. :chairshot:
Floyd will get affected more by a loss just because he's undefeated.
Pacquiao will get affected more because he lost to Clottey a guy hes VERY favored to beat.
See what I did there.
Both guys want to win what dumb question. Who ever loses will feel it more. Duh.

floyd becaue he bases his greatness on his undefeatedness
Obviously Floyd. Pac's legacy is already cemented as being one of the top ATG's for his accomplishments and for always giving the people a hugely entertaining fight win or lose. While Floyd people still have no idea where to place him on all time lists because no one knows how good truly he is, as he has never tested himself against the top elite fighters. A loss would put a huge hurt on his stock unless he would comeback from it motivated to beat everyone at the top. However if Floyd loses i honestly would not be surprised if he retired to never be heard from again since in his own opinion he is the "greatest" because he is undefeated. He has always looked up to that about his career and it would i think crush him if he lost that!
Without floyd's 0 he is destroyed.Floyd always likes to talk about his 0.Hes always saying everyone is beating each other but no one is beating him.Floyds never had to overcome a loss.And this late in his career he will probably never be the same.
it's like asking who would scream more: a virgin hooker getting screwed by a random oriental male or an experienced hooker being pounded by ron jeremy without any lubrication?
well, whoever is getting paid less...
Floyd because that 0 means everything to him. Its like he makes it seem like if u have a loss your nothing. A 0 on ur record isnt everything. Even some of the greatest have lost, but i don't think Floyd believes its possible to be great with a loss on your record.
pbf!
pacq has been beaten numerous times, and even ko'd!
a loss to pacq is nuthing, he still will have an army of nationalistic worshippers wherever he goes.
pbf is suppose to dominate n a loss would be a huge upset for whomever he fights.
i didnt know the term numerous now means 3.
Both will be affected with equal degree. The difference is with the viewing public. While three quarters of the audience will be saddened by the loss on the Pac side, the same number will be cheering on the Floyd side.
However, Clottey is a decent, respectful guy, just like Cotto. A Pac loss will not be as disappointing as a loss with a guy like PB. It will sting, no doubt, but that's boxing. Anything could happen. Maybe a head butt or an early cut would put Pac in trouble. Who knows?
Um, I'd imagine Fraud. His whole career and claim to fame is based on his ZERO. If he loses that, he also loses the huge paychecks because nobody is going to tune in to watch his boring ass ever again since he's already been beaten. There's nothing else he can run his mouth about because people will know just how full of shit he's always been. Pac on the other hand, he's ALREADY ATG status. What more does he have to do? A loss at this point is irrelevant and retirement looms at any moment.
Pacquiao obviously. He is facing a fighter pretty much unknown to the casual fan.
Mayweather vs Mosley is (to the casual fan) highly competitive.
I think the TS meant in general, but this is also a good point. I guess it depends who each fighter loses to.

Floyd will be affected more,since this is the only card he's got.
He'll probably fall into a deep depression after Shane KO him.
Pac's been beat. He could still look forward to a Mayweather fight or going back to 140 for really good fights with Bradley or Alexander. Floyd's whole persona is dependent on the undefeated record. He would have to completely overhaul his PR with a loss.
Floyd would be affected more, hands down. He has built his career and reputation around being undefeated. If he suffers his first loss, it would send a shockwave throughout the boxing community.
