If that happens, Mayweather will have a hard time getting the same kind of money after fights as he's getting now, not just because he'll seem diminished as a fighter, but because he will have been subjected to a defeat, which is what many people (say what you will) want to see him experience. After Mayweather loses his "0", many people (at least the mainstream media) won't have any particular reason to tune in and watch him fight.
It's not like he has a fan-friendly style, he's famous for his ****y attitude and the fact that he is undefeated, so people tune in to watch him lose.
If he DOES get big money fights after a Margarito-ish KO type loss, it'll be because he'll have to get much smaller purses in big events, and I don't see Mayweather's ego being able to deflate itself temporarily.
The only way he can redeem himself is by challenging the fighters that the public wants to see and maybe then he can get respect back; the way Mayweather was when he was taking on all comers at lightweight. If he reverts to that after a loss, then he can bounce back.
Cherry-picking fighters after a losing an undefeated record that is consistenly boasted about (coupled with a "boring" style of fighting) won't do you good. That works now, because people are always on edge seeing him fight.
Mayweather's inside everyone's head, he talks big to get everyone riled up, gets people to hate him, and then they end up forking over money to watch him fight...
Let's hope Mayweather/Mosley is a good one!

it'd be a bit like hamed/barrera, a career ruined in a single fight

It would depend on what happens to him after the ko loss, does he pull a Naz and quit after losing 1 fight or does he comeback and try to prove he is still top shelf material.

Originally posted by incredible View PostIt's a lesson in humility that has been along time coming for that arrogant SOB. Up to now he's been on cloud-nine with his so called questionable perfect run of victories, against questionable opponents, hopefully now that he starts mixing it up with the true elites of WW; he'll get a rude awaken.
