    It'd definitely be a bad look for Floyd to catch a L. Thing is lotsa sh^t that could happen in this fight is a bad look for Floyd lol. I mean when Conor lands a punch (& he's gonna land one cuz Floyd isn't gonna Tyson him in 30 seconds or something wild like that) that'll be a gif for a bunch of cats the next day regardless if it was all Floyd after that one punch landed.

        Like legit whats a worse L for a boxer of Floyd's accomplishments than losing to a guy with 0 pro boxing matches under his belt?

        The only two things even close that I can think of regarding the experience angle are Ali's L to Leon Spinks when Leon was a 8(?) fight pro with an Olympic gold medal & when Floyd Patterson got dropped, but cameback to win vs Peter Rademacher in his pro debut after he won an Olympic gold medal. I know there are other situations where a guy (or girl) fought & beat a more established pro but there is nothing on this level that I can think of thus I think if Floyd loses it is the biggest embarrassment for a pro boxer ever.

        But he's being well paid for that risk so I'm sure its whatever to Floyd & if he were to lose I'm sure Floyd will spin it in a way, like virtually everyone does when they lose, so it doesn't hurt so bad or makes it forgivable. Floyd will have had a pulled this & a broken that & a sore throat & itchy balls & all sorts of problems that were untold if he loses to make it more forgivable.

          Yep, they're real

          First he denied it but then once he came out and admitted his drug problems in 2012 he admitted that these photos were real as well. I hope he's not still battling addiction, but his recent statements have me wondering if it's still going on.

              Not only that all the chit Floyd talked about MMA and UFC, man if he loses they will make fun of him worse than Ronda Rousey

              I agree with Stephen A, If Floyd lost to any other boxer, even if it was a guy who was unknown it wouldn't effect his legacy like losing to an MMA guy with no fights under his belt in boxing.

                yup if it goes the distance its a moral victory for Conor and Conors stock sky rockets, Floyd needs to knock Conor out to avoid this, but we all know he will just go all 12, Floyd will play it safe and finally retire with over 350 million payday.

                This ppv is going to do at least 8 to 10 million buys according to Dana white and some mma podcasters branda shaubs

                    No it wouldn`t. We all know his 0 is fake, he already has 2 losses.

                      To be honest, it would be a tough one to live down.

                      At the same time, it isn't totally impossible. Skill gap is too large, but once you factor in age and physical advantages along with the unpredictability of a guy coming from outside the sport, you can't discount something crazy happening.
