    Lets just say the pressure gets to Floyd and he fights Mosley and loses.

    Does anyone think he can comeback from it or will he be another Hamed?

    For the last few years we been hearing the same garbage with Floyd stroking that 0 on his record "49 have tried and all 49 have failed", "He lost to this dude, and I lost to nobody", "He got Ko'd twice (reference to Pac as a teenager)", and so on.

    He even vehemently believes he is the greatest fighter ever.

    If that 0 ever leaves his record, can anyone imagine him coming back with success?

    I seriously cant, its way beyond that point for Floyd now, if he got that loss a few years back before he jumped to 140 then I can see Floyd fighting the more better fights and making better of his legacy than it is today but if he gets it now thats it for him, he would be mentally crushed.

    I say if the "0" is gone, then he starts truly putting himself to the test, to prove he's really the best.

    that "0" will always be there because he would never fight someone who has a chance to beat. "i'm money may. I choose who and when i want to fight. all roads lead to floyd mayweather."

    I said no , but with seconds more to think , I imagine the excuses would be so much that he would believe that he would still be undefeated.
    I like how "All roads lead to Mayweather "

    No, he is weak as an individual. An 'Official loss' would retire him because his unbeated record is all he has.

    yeah if Floyd is a "weak individual" just how weak would that make you??? Calling anyone who's earned a world title in this sport weak is simply erroneous

    hell he is 40 - 0, if took an L iam sure he would make the proper adjustments to get a W in a rematch against anyone.he start to slow up by 35 but he will be retired for real by then.

    floyd is proven, hes been a pro since 1996 and a world champion since 1998.i think it could come back from any type of adversitie.plus when i see mayweather losing it because he just got caught, which can happen to anyone.if he gets his ass kicked and then koed, then yeah i still think he could come back even better.

    if he got caught with a lucky punch then its a no brainer.
