    I rather see him really get beat.. It's like watching Juan Manuel Marquez getting robbed by Chris John I think I will feel disdain for the sport..

      The positives
      1. Seeing Floyd and Ellerbe go completely nuts would be hilarious
      2. Seeing the Flowmos lose their mind would be hilarious
      3. The whole undefeated/44 have tried, 44 have failed (Jose Luis Castillo is apparently 2 different people), thing would be thankfully over


      The negatives
      • Boxing would be a laughing stock among the mainstream again
      • The fallout would continue for years. And I mean years. The Flowmos/Pacturt beef is one that is eternal, and that shiet would still be going on 20 years from now. These mother****ers don't know when something has lot all steam and it's time to let it go.
      • No fighter deserves to be robbed, even a scumbag joker like Floyd, who as someone has already said, is due a big burst of bad karma.
      • However you feel about it, that undefeated record is a fascinating part of boxing history. If it is to be taken, let it be done by legitimate means or none at all. Seeing him gets robbed doesn't add to the discussion of his talent and place in his history. It's worthless historically.
      • It would probably mean he was in on it and he well and truly sold his soul to money and GBP. The re-match would be a hollow cash grab

        Anybody who would be happy to see a robbery is not a true boxing fan...
        I cant believe how many posters would like to see a robbery in the biggest fight of the year... Yeah, that would be great for boxing (sarcasm)

        Only floyd haters would be happy with a robbery,,,,

        True boxing fans just wanna see a legit winner.....


        Why does everybody wanna see floyd get robbed,,, its not like he has won alot of robberies,, the only won that was close was the first JLC and it could have gone either way... Usually floyd wins a wide decision,,,

        So why does everybody wanna see him get robbed....

        HATERS

          it would suck for floyd in the short term but in the long term it might make him a historically greater fighter. if he fights top opposition after losing he has a good chance at becoming greater than what he is thought of right now. most people rate elite wins over undefeated records. 1 loss with some elite wins goes farther than a bunch of b level wins, and even if he does lose by robbery people will just say it was a robbery like oscar-trinidad, pac-bradley etc...it won't effect his all time great status much.

          or he could go into a pouty retirement and never come back again

            I would laugh my ass off...especially if it is an outright robbery. The post-fight meltdown would hopefully be one for the ages. If this fight is clear in either direction and we hear "split-decision." BoxingScene will be down for days. As others mentioned, I will be worried if there is a sense of everyone being fine with it...as this might be a total cash grab by everyone involved.
