    Honestly Canelo would probably get put in Bute-type company of hypejobs.

    Kermit CINTRON outboxed Angulo. He needs to win this fight

        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.

          Floyds, not even close. No seriously thinks that Floyd can lose to Marcos, even if many want Marcos to win.

                I'd say Floyd and Canelo. They both have line up PPVs this year after their upcoming fights. A loss will derail those plans

                  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!

                    This order:

                    Floyd
                    Cotto
                    Manny
                    Canelo

                    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).

                      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
                      my take on the question
