A lot of young up and comers would still want to use and abuse the Mayweather name as a stepping stone, just as they do with Roy Jones Junior.Comment

I doubt Floyd is a type of character to take a loss like a man. He would immediately cry for a rematch and I don't really believe Cotto would give him one until a few years later. I think Cotto would go for a Pac rematch and get dominated again. Fighters coming up would still want to fight him though, he won't look as intimidating with a loss by Cotto.Comment

You can guarantee FMJ already has a rematch clause sewn into the contract, he's possibly the most cautious fighter in the sport.Comment

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it. I think it's more of an ego thing from certain fighters. I feel that Cotto will never give Margarito a rematch despite them being 1-1 and the fight ending by horrible ring doctor stoppage. Floyd is probably the same way, sure he gave Castillo a rematch but that's where the line is drawn.Comment

absolutely it would. The only reason why fighters want to fight him is cuz of the payday but once he loses, his fake persona of being a ATG will get exposed and he'll never sell over 300k PPV's again (unless he fights Pac) cuz now he won't be able to sell the fight with his mouth and will have to sell the fight with his style which is the exact same as malinaggi minus the powerComment

This is the only reason Floyd adopted his persona in the first place. All his fights are snooze fests and the entire world knows it, even Floyd does. Real fighters with pride and passion don't need to use a persona to get people to buy their PPVs. Their dedication in the ring is what gets people to buys their PPVs.Comment
