Could Mayweather graciously accept defeat?

[BmoreBrawler]

he will take it fine, the guy's been looking for any excuse to retire for a while now.

His fans will all commit suicide though.

I don't think there's any doubt that if Ricky Hatton loses tonight, he will be able to accept the defeat graciously because of the way he acts in public. But let's just say for the sake of argument, it doesn't even have to be tonight, but at anytime in ihs career. When Floyd Mayweather recieves his first loss, will he be able to accept it graciously?

I ask this question because after rewatching the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight when the first card was read as 115-113 De La Hoya, Mayweather immediately began to protest verbally.

Something tells me Floyd would bitcha fit if he ever lost, at anything.

well he won no less than 7 rounds that fight so a 115-113 for odl is something to protest about.

well he is gonna lose tonight.So we can see it first hand.

PBF is never going to lose, so I'm not really worried about it. I mean, PBF took DLH's and Zab's best shots and was unfazed by them. You mean to tell me Ricky is gonna put a hurtin' on him? Nope. Ricky couldn't even mark up Collazo. But, Collazo sure messed up Hatton's face something awful.

Hatton has NO idea what he's in store for tonight. It's gonna look a lot like PBF/Gatti, only more up-tempo. That is, until Hatton gets tired in the mid-rounds.

The only way Mayweather would ever accpect or admit defeat let alone handle it properly would be if he is KOed.....God I hope it happens....what a sight it would be....more shocking than when Roy got KOed......the second time.

I doubt it. He'll say, he had no hunger for the fight, he was doing too many things at one time(Dancing with Stars), some bull**** that was covered on the 24/7 about his training taking a toll on his body(bs), and that he just wasn't mentally in the game for this fight due to everything. While I don't know if he'll say all that, I'm sure his nuthuggers will go back on all that because Floyd should and can never lose a fight. He's just too good for that. He's unbeatable.

I thought he could accept defeat graciously but i agree with you that when the first scorecard was announced for de la hoya/mayweather he looked angry and at the same time as if he couldnt believe one judge gave de la hoya the fight.

I think initially (if he loses a fight on points) he will think (and maybe even say to the post fight reporter) that he thought he won the fight and was robbed but i say you let him sleep on it or watch the fight again and he could most likely admit he lost.

whoever mayweather loses to (if he ever does) i would be highly surprised if there wasnt a rematch...unless it was a 12 round shutout against him (which will never happen).

if he loses tonight to hatton on points expect to see this fight again around june...

If Hatton wins by knock out Mayweather will come out with some ridiculous excuse, watch all the nut huggers hide for a couple days as well and say Hatton was lucky haha.
