lets say mayweather does lose that 0

Having a 0 on your record makes no better or any different in my eyes. Anyone who believes having a 0 on your record makes any difference is quite simply deluded, and i know some feel having a 0 automactically means your a whole different beast because you have never lost well if you look closely with those who kept their precious 0 you will find they won a few controversial wins or simply didn't fight the best at that time (check the resume). I will respect Floyd for fighting Mosley/Pac they are both dangerous opponents if loses in a war then id probably rank him higher if anything because these guys are no ordinary boxers, these infact are very skilled fighters and represent boxing at the highest level which means fighing a grade A level criteria. You will find the greatest boxers of all time have maybe 5 or so loses or more. It's who you fight and the competition you have fought which determines your greatness not for being rememberd as 'unbeaten' as some may suggest.

Thing is, if it was any other boxer I'd say it wouldn't really matter. But Floyd's built much of his career on his 0 to the degree that the first time he loses, a large part of his 'appeal' (that being the appeal of people watching to see him fail) is gone. Which leaves... what? How many of his fans will stick around to watch him once that aura of invincibility is gone? I honestly don't know and it'd be interesting to know. Jones still has a lot of fans, but then he'd also lost early in his career (albeit controversially), so it's very possible that Floyd will remain a top draw for years to come. Will also be intersting to see how Floyd mentally copes with defeat. Will he go into denial and blank it from his mind? Will it destroy his confidence for ever more? At best it will humble him and make him a fighter more willing to take chances and mix it up, a more fan friendly fighter both inside and outside the ring. At worst, he becomes Evander Holyfield.

Losing the '0' will make him a better fighter, at least in terms to watch. Once that zero is gone, providing he don't retire. I believe it will make the guy less conservative in the ring and much more offensive. He will have less to lose and more to prove.

As long as he goes out and does his best, there's no shame IF he loses to the better fighter that night

it might do him some good but if he win you can't bet that the pacman fight won't happen.

Then he'll clean out Pac... That's disgusting man.

If Floyd does lose that 0, I bet he'll rematch and whoop Mosley from pillar to post just to prove he is the greatest of this era. Then he'll clean out Pac and the entire welterweight division. Then Floyd will say, "I want to challenge myself," and then he'll go to 154 and whoop everyone's ass there with pure mastery. I'm not saying that I want Floyd to lose but if he loses that 0, Floyd has nothing to lose and it makes him a more dangerous fighter. But again, this is if Floyd loses that 0 and Floyd has never lost.

I can guess BS will be quite for sometime, in respect for flomos who comitted suicide.

He's set up his undefeated record as his biggest selling point and it works. People pay to watch his fights for the chance to see him lose. Once he has a loss, watch him even make anywhere near 300k buys on PPV without a decent dance partner.

would he still be as great as he says and/or his fans say he is? in my books.. mayweather has to be the most naturally gifted boxers that ever laced up gloves. his quickness and reflexes are just beyond up to par. with that said, i think he stays his grounds even if he loses that 0. I agree with you, its highly unlikely that he does lose, but if he does, atleast to me, he's still the greatest of our time..

A loss does not erase everthing else he's accomplished.

he always downplays on losing and opponents that has lost. why is he so scared to lose that 0? he makes it seem like having a lost will ruin his career or something. lol really didnt make it a bait thread. it just came out to be.

As long as he goes out on his shield or just damn good fight, I won't care.

that 0 is nothing!!!

Say he loses to mosley or pacquiao and it's a great fight I will not look at him differently. I think you get even more respect by the boxing public if you lose but you go down to the bitter end. I mean what good does the 0 do if you haven't fought anyone you know? Like to me cotto is my fav fought everyone he's lost sure but he gave it his best shot and thats all you can ask out of your fighter or that matter your favorite football team bball team etc etc...
