    IF Floyd loses to Pacquiao, can he accept defeat graciously?

    We all understand that it will be very difficult for him. First ever loss of the self-proclaimed TBE.

    But did Floyd realized that losing to Pacquiao (or any other opponent for that matter) is nothing to be ashamed of... if you give it all in the fight.

    Unless all he will do is run and still loses the fight... It's kind of...

    Eventually yeah but it would take some time. Never seen him lose but judging by all his other characteristics id have him down as a really bad loser. Not helped by all his hanger on hench men who no doubt do him no favours at all seeing as they are all bellends.

    Floyd need not worry at all if he loses. What's needed is for him to give it all inside the ring on fight night.

    He will run away to the dressing rooms after he loses just like Broner did.

    If it is close, I think he can as the rematch will make enough money to ease his pain.

    It will be good to see Floyd giving Pacquiao a pat in the back and saying "We can do it again. Now you'll be the A-side".

    I expect a suicide on may the 3rd. Yes he is that much of a coward.

    I think he would be devastated if he lost, but I don't think he loses.

    Losing to Manny pre KTFO6 - no shame

    Losing to Manny now - suicide

    I think he'll get depressed, pull a foreman, and recover months after the fight.
    Depends on how he loses as well.

    Foreman cracks me up with his story about how he learned to "accept" the loss.

    Decades later he was making all sorts of excuses in his autobiography and then after that, started claiming again that he was drugged
