If May gets massively KO'd...

[whoelsebutjames]

just like someone said about his whole career... you gotta ask yourself if he even was truly an elite fighter... like roy career, fighting mailmans and firefighters and sht... whole career would be viewed as a mockery...

Neither is a fair statment



But on the flip side //
A deciscive loss he can handle

Pyche wise a devastating knockout is hard turn for anyone

[kedashy]

floyd will enter the ring shakin in his boots no sht... but, i personally believe he,s gonna run his ass off the whole fight and get booed into retirement... can you just here the crowd booing mayweather for not engaging with shane??? he will be crying after the fight saying everyone wants to see him get hurt and sht.. just like a little girl... watch.

his stock would probley go down. if he came back from the loss and redeemed himself in a rematch his stock would probley go back up but not as high as it once was

[Da Hammer]

Really it would depend on how he rebounded in his next fight and versus who. I think it would crush him because the moron thinks just because he's undefeated that it makes him the GOAT. But it seriously shouldn't be that way. i mean if he were to get humiliated but he were to bounce back and beat some great fighters afterwards then he would probably be more respected in the long run by the hardcore boxing public. There is no shame in losing unless you let it define you.

If floyd losses by a decision..IMO he is through. People only want to see him lose....Why in the hell would i want to see him lose again LOL or win for that fact...

Nah dude you wrong playa.....if May loses even by UD.....he wont' be affected much.......because he can talk jive with the best of them.....we will say he though he had the fight won blah blah blah.....and will hold on to that to not give credit to Shooga and wont' think of it as a legitimate loss.........now let him get KO'd and then........shhhhhhhhhhh silence......................true story!

[1toTHADOME]

Is he done as a so called "elite fighter"?? I mean lets just say for a minute Shooga comes in and pulls a Margo on May....and completely annihilates him...I mean just humiliates him....just like he did to Margo.....

Is May done after this???? can anyone see him come back from something like that??

in my books, he'd still be an elite fighter, but only if he comes back and fight other elite fighters and win.

[extracurRICular]

in my books, he'd still be an elite fighter, but only if he comes back and fight other elite fighters and win.

So he would be Elite even if he got massively KO'd??? hmmmm not sure if I agree with that one........good fighter still maybe but elite????

"its not how you get knocked off your feet, it's how you get back up"

i'm saying if he comes back and fight other elite fighters and win, of course he'd still be elite.

Now if he stays there on his ass or fight and loses then no he wouldnt be elite. you cant judge it just by 1 ko tho.

[CrackYourJaw]

It'd be interesting.

He could either:

a.) Come back with more fire than ever to reclaim his legacy.

or

b.) Become disheartened and less confident, fighting even more cautiously and dodging the big names.
