I don't think it would change much. Many people already think he lost to Castillo. It is his skill in the ring that gets him respect and not his undefeated record. Ray Robinson lost 19 times and many consider him the best of all time.

ok i got prime benitez, prime duran, prime hearns, near prime hagler, and lineal 154 pound champ kalule as a tune up. your turn! if leonard was floyd he would have waited for hagler to be ko'd cold. its all the same to you right? hes got the name thats all the matters!
For instance, if Floyd and SRL were to trade bodies, and we put SRL at the same circumstantial disadvantages, Floyd was at, SRL would get beat df up. If Floyd had SRL's size, reach, and power, Floyd would've dominated and humiliated everyone SRL faced. You cant really say the same for SRL.
What Floyd did in the ring, is impossible to do. It makes no sense. This is why he is byfar the greatest of all time, and its not even close. Im just happy it went down in my era.
