His whole career is based on his undefeated record. He doesn't seem like the type of guy that could deal with a loss! If Canelo pulls the upset will Floyd retire? Will he go down hill and start losing?
Mayweathers 36. Most people call this the tail end of a career. I don't think he's going to lose. It would be huge if he did. But honestly, he's getting up there in age. He'd handle losing just fine. Just as every fighter who has lost their 0 before.
He would be devastated and definitely cry paciquao style. I think a lot of drive/longevity comes from denying his haters. I think once he get over the loss he will come out hungrier bc a lot of the weight of being undefeated would be lifted and he would become a boxer puncher again.
Most likely he wont lose... BUT he's only a -250 favorite.. The odds makers are giving Canelo a decent shot here! You never know?
His ego is too big to take it and it would depend on how he lost. If he lost by KO he would say how nobody has ever beat him in a fair fight and he had to fight guys 20 lbs heavier than him to make it competitive, if he lost on points he'd say it was the wrong result.
The $41.5 million check he'll receive on the same night will ease the pain. The undefeated record is just a means to promote and hype fights.
Mayweather has a big ego.. He loves his 0! Trust me he will take it harder than other fighters.. He might play it cool in the post fight but a guy like him hates to lose! :deal
And your point is? It's the reason he's still undefeated? We're talking Boxing not twiddlywinks? Nobody walks? into the ring thinking? he's gonna lose? :smoke
He won't play it cool if he gets robbed though. One way or another, tomorrow night is not going down clean and clearly.
Umm id be happy you know what kind of paycheck he is going to get? and with a Loss you know a rematch is on its way double up!
Which is why boxing fans must buy the ppv bc you don't wanna miss the day Floyd lose and goes ape ****
