If Mayweather loses now????

[Welter_Skelter]

He is still young and ALWAYS in shape..
I do not think he will suffer any ring rust.. or from any diminished skills..

On the other side of things.. Floyd gets credit from his fans.. for beating guys with ring rust and/or diminished skills..

So what's the deal??

[DA1CATAS]

He'll never fight Cotto or SSM. If he fights anybody it'll be Pac. If Pac were to win, I'd definitely give him mass cred cuz at 140 and especially 147 I'd pick PBF to knock him the **** out.

Starting with Gerano Hernadez,Gregorio Vargas,Demarcus Corley,Arturo Gotti,Carlos Baldomir,Sharmba Mitchel,and last but not least De la Hoya!!!

A lot would depend on how he lost.

if floyd loses it would be devastating for his career since its based exclusively on him being undefeated.

mark my words guys and gals. i predicted this a long time ago, and still will now. floyd mayweather will not lose, period. he trains all year round, boxing is a sport that he was born into, and losing he will not do, because he never stops training. i know this for a fact. the man retired physically from the sport, seeing how he's not fighting now, but mentally, boxing never left him, and he has trained in some capacity. he is a gym rat, and has always been, trust me, i know everything about his work ethic. he never stopped training, he always runs at least 4 miles to keep his stamina up. his work ethic is crazy. he stays in shape and he does spar privately. remember, we rarely see his sparring, but he spars, trust me against bigger guys, at least middleweight and super middleweight. he won't lose...trust me..............

Mayweather fans will claim that it was the lay off, Mayweather haters will say the other were always better.


It's just how you yanks seem to operate here, always bickering.

lol true.

And Cotto doesn't deserve a fight with pbf. Mosley would get bodied. As would hatton again, and soon pacman.

I said a while back I didn't think Floyd was at his best anymore and people wanted to say it was excuses....so there you go.

I posted videos from fights of his he had from 130-140 to show the difference but most don't care to pay attention. I also mentioned the interviews with Floyd and how he Mentally changed as a fighter and wouldn't take the risks he used to in the ring. Another sign of decline because the Mental side to your game is a part of it.

I think most think as long as you are winning and are still considered "young" you must be still at your best but I don't define it like that. If I see you were better then, than now, and you don't reverse the course, it shows me you are no longer at your best.

Add all that to the long layoff, and what do you have?

Physically, Floyd is what he is now and we will have to add in the layoff. Like Freddie Roach even said, "You cannot be a part time fighter."

Mentally however, you may be able to get it back because George Foreman was able to. You need that hunger, that motivation, that purpose to prove yourself. Does Floyd still have that or is it all about the Green now?
The fact that he has retired twice and he has continued to talk about burn out is good enough for me.
He should stay retired if he cannot fight like he used to.

i hate it when people make excuses before boxers even fight... that's like discrediting his opponent, no matter what the outcome of the fight

ring rust will be a factor if floyd doesnt get a tune up
