Would it be good for boxing if both guys lose?

Well, would it? It would become a proper super fight, with both guys needing to prove their worth still, with both thinking they didn't need to prove anything beforehand. It'a a fascinating set of fights that need to be won or lost by both guys.What happens if only one loses? What happens if both lose (the preferred decision for me) or what happens if both win in boring, ugly, indecisive fashion? Personally, I would love it if both lost. There have been greater fights, between greater fighters, at greater times, for greater legacy......the hype this fight has now gotten has gone beyond great promotion or whatever else into simple idiocy and pointlessness. This fight never needed anything approaching this level of supposed 'hype'....it's gone well beyond that into frustrating even casual viewers. It's just another boxing fight and when all is said and done it is going to go in the same record books as all the other boxing fights as just another super fight, championship boxing match between two fighters, who in terms of comparison historically, are entirely undeserving of both the monetary and legacy value if the fight goes anything less than a straight up all out war on the level of Castillo/Corrales, Gatti/Ward. It needs to live up to those heights to even talk about sitting on the same table as the hype it created. However, all of that gets taken away if they both lose and thus we don't get another repeat of Mayweather/Oscar, which was the rebirth of nothing more than a massive dump I took in the middle of it cause I didn't give a ****e who won anymore. I want a ****ing Super Fight to be a Super Fight, between two Super Fighters! Not a couple of scrags showing up to be whored out to the highest bidder. I want another Leonard/Duran, Ali/Frazier, Leonard Hearns, Hagler/Hearns, Morales/Barrera, Ali/Foreman.....I want a real Super Fight, between two people who show up wanting to prove themselves to be called Fighters worthy of this Super Fight and I want them to live up to those past fighters who have actually fought super fights in their 'Super Fight'.

I'm a fan of all 4 guys, but I would LOVE to see Floyd and Pac get beat. Stay around long enough, and there's gonna be somebody who's gonna catch you slippin. Pac and Floyd have a Klitschko choke-hold on the 140-154lb divisions, and only when they lose will their influence be lessened. I'm rooting hard for Cotto to do the unthinkable, and for Bradley to finally establish himself as a house-hold name.

If Pac AND Mayweather lost, I think we'd see a mass suicide on NSB along with the rise of the Cotto and Bradley fans equivalent of Flomos and Pactards... Yup. This is what most likely will happen. :D

Yes Benny it would be. It would be great. There are currently not too many ppv stars about. Those two are the only ones. Unlike some confused fans, I they lose, there won't be many ppv matchups left. That's great for boxing. Another thing to look at is that people actually belive that no one can beat either guy at 147 or 154 which is simply unrealistic. They are ppv stars which mean they want to fight guys that generate revenue. There are guys that won't even be considered that very well can beat either on any given night. The Punisher is a perfect example. He was all wrong as a welterweight for either. However since his fan base only consisted of me & Burner, he would have never gotten a shot at those 2. The aura that the fans fall for is fake. I hope they both get waxed so the vail of stupidity can be lifted.

It would be good for boxing if everybody got on a stream of their next fights. Order the PPV and you contribute to the mutual avoidance.
