This is a ridiculous question, Mayweather losing to Maidana would be an absolutely shocking upset. It would be one for the record books I can't even fathom it happening.
The other fights are all toss-ups and it shouldn't surprise anybody with the outcomes.
FLOYD, the others already have multiple losses, (with the exception of Canelo just having his one)..Floyd's supremacy is what makes him #1 p4p, so if he loses, that would make front page news!
As someone else has said, Floyd's legacy revolves around him being undefeated; Manny's revolves around him being an 8-division champion. I put Cotto above Manny because Cotto being a 4-division champion could significantly enhance his reputation, so he has much to gain/lose. Manny would still be an 8-division champion even if he losses his next 4 fights. Canelo has so much time to forge a legacy that a loss, though disheartening, wouldn't be devastating (except, possibly, from a psychological perspective).
Which of these four fights' star fighter would take a harder hit to the groin of their legacy?
If Floyd loses to Maidana? I'd be shocked but I'd have to see how he looked at his age. Father time hardly loses any battles. So that's the first thing I'd look for.
If Cotto loses to Martinez?
I expect...No, I know Cotto's gonna get murked.. No surprise at all.
If Manny loses to Bradley again? Again, it depends how he looks. I haven't seen the Rios fight, nor will I, so I won't gauge his comeback from that. If Bradley wins convincingly then I think his legacy isn't injured, but his "stardom" might.
If Canelo loses to Angulo? Here's the answer. This guy is supposed to be boxing's golden child into the next decade or so. Angulo's supposed to be a stepping stone.. A confidence booster, so losing to him would hurt his image as a sports star and pretty much hault his legacy for a good while
