If Floyd wins via UD or SD, boxing LOSES.

This kind of winning will only sink boxing further more into the mire after that abominable DLH-Floyd fight. With millions of people again watching, another boring Floyd victory might just be the straw that will break the camel's back.

In that case, R.I.P. boxing. Pleasure knowing you guys.

True. If floyd wins heroically though, it will be GREAT for boxing.

If ANYONE thinks that ONE FIGHT will determine boxings fate.. they haven't been watching boxing for that long.

Please.. Hatton.. Mayweather.. even De La Hoya.. None of them have enough importance to destroy the greatest sport on Earth.

But, will he win in heroic fashion? I seriously doubt this. He's had plenty of opportunities to put his stamp on a fight, and he's always taken the easy way out. If anybody wins as a hero, the odds are that it will be Hatton. In fact, any kind of win by Hatton makes him a hero, unless its a multiple low blow foul filled fest.

Not destroy.....but to revive. Yes, boxing can be revived by one bout. This bout could be that bout.

I most definitely agree with this. He wins in the same convincing fashion against two more elite fighters that would be fantastic.

Well, it's not my fault you dont know the "last-straw-breaking-the-camel's-back" concept.

Yes, I agree the fight could help boxing. But, it really can't hurt it, to the point where it's going to be destroyed. But even if it helps boxing, it'll really be a casual thing. Boxing just needs exciting fights, on a broader level, year-round. NO ONE FIGHT will dramatically change the sport. It needs to be MANY fights. This could start it though, but that's about it.

As far as hurting it, I think the worse it could do would be to turn fans off to Mayweather, not the sport itself.
