    The person with the most to lose on Saturday?

    If Ricky loses:

    Ricky's already a major underdog in this match so if he loses people will forgive him. He is still a great fighter and Im sure he'll find one last big name like JMM orjunior witter to face before his career is done.

    Floyd Sr's credibility as a trainer will take a small hit, but at the end of the day his son is still the greatest defensive fighter of the 21st century and one of the best ever. I think he will be fine.

    If Pac loses:

    Paquiao has nothing to worry about if he loses this thing. His country will stick with him to the very end and he can always step back down to 135 and ABSOLUTELY dominate that division. Pacman has a bright future regardless of what happens on Saturday.


    Freddie Roach is the one I think will be devastated most from a loss. Hes constantly saying he has the better fighter, that he is the better trainer and the media tends to agree with him. With that in mind, if Paquiao loses, it will all be on his shoulders. Of course, Floyd Sr will pile on like a rabid 3rd grader and make things even worse. If Im Roach Im moving to Siberia if pacquiao loses.

    What do you guys think?

    If Hatton loses decisively, he's done.

        Naw I dissagree...Hatton always has a place in boxing...two losses doesnt mean your done...especially at the hands of two P4P Number 1's.

          If Hatton loses it doesn't really do much to him as he's only the IBO champ, barely on people's P4P lists, and over half the people watching aren't expecting him to win anyways.

          Pac is P4P No. 1, trying to get a super fight with Floyd and is coming off 2 of the biggest wins of his career (when i say biggest i mean most mainstream).

          Pac has much more to lose.

            Hatton will still be the 2nd or 3rd biggest draw in the sport.

            Him losing to Mayweather/Pacquio is like Frazier losing to Ali/Foreman

                Hatton has more to lose being this would be his 2nd big loss of his career. Pacquiao could lose and still potentially get a 3rd fight with Juan Manuel Marquez that would sell through the roof.

                Pacquiao is the type of fighter fans will want to see win or lose. These days, too many people are fixated with being undefeated or going with a long streak of winning. It's inevitable the best eventually lose here and there when fighting the best, but it doesn't necessarily overshadow one's career when you look at it in a whole.

                  Just hope he doesn't end up as bitter as Frazier > IF he loses

                    if Pac loses to the guy Floyd wrecked it'll harm his legacy a bit; i.e. you won't have nearly as many (non-Pinoy) people arguing his claim for best of his generation
