I was thinking today that if Mayweather did finally lose then it would likely be at the hands of one of the bigger names in a division, like Judah if they get that one, Winky with his "jab all night" style or Hatton if he dropped back down and they had a superfight.
Imagine tonight if Mayweather got caught, or dropped a decision to a fighter no one's regarding (on this board, or on betting sites) as a major threat, in a fight we're curious about but not over ecstatic?
It'd be like a loss dropping under the radar, wouldn't it? (Kind of like the stories about hardly any commentary teams bothering to travel to Japan for Tyson's mandatory bout with Buster Douglas).
I know it's unlikely to happen, but it IS possible. If Mitchell pulled it off tonight, it would also put a downer on future fights. I'm sure we'd all still watch Mayweather-Hatton, but it wouldn't have the same edge, would it?
Is this even coherent? It's 2am over here, and I'm having to stay up to watch this thing....
