    Which would be bigger? I know everyone in the boxing world was shocked to see Roy finally get stopped by Tarver.

    If Floyd loses, would it have as big of an impact?

    Roy was pretty much 49-0 when he lost to Tarver at 35.

    If Floyd keeps on fighting top competition well into his late 30's, at some point, he will lose.

    If Floyd was to lose, it def be a bigger event than Roy getting knocked out for the first time. More people know who Floyd is than they did Roy.

    Floyd losing would be like Roy losing on a bigger scale. People go absolutely nuts when Floyd takes a single punch.

    If Floyd loses its a bigger deal because the "zero" is much more in focus. But dont let that fool you into thinking that He's close to Roy in his prime. Roy for a brief span was possibly the best fighter in the history of Boxing. Simply unbeatable and peerless, never seen anyone like him.

    Not "IF HE LOSSES" but "WHEN HE LOSSES", is going to be bigger than Jones.
    Do you remember when Puerto Rico defeated the "DREAM TEAM"
    August 18,2004 in Athens the score was 92-73, the dream team never recovered from that I believe they took home silver nobody was expecting that, like nobody is expecting Floyd to loose...
    Expect the unexpected.
    .
    (a paragraph from the article)
    This is the Olympics, and the U.S. men's basketball team was rocked, shocked, humiliated and exposed on sports biggest stage Sunday as Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth of 4 million residents, pulled off the upset of all Olympic upsets with a 92-73 drubbing of the Americans.
    USA vs. Puerto Rico:*1964: USA 62-42*1968: USA 61-56*1976: USA 95-94*1988: USA 94-57*1992: USA 115-77*2004: Puerto Rico 92-73*

    if i was floyd i would fight pacman after the cotto fight and then maybe a rematch depending on how floyd wins. he wins the rematch and then fights martinez for mw belt maybe tune up fight at mw. but floyd should just challenge martinez after hes done with pacman. martinez is the best mw and what 38 - 39 thats a winnable respectale fight for floyd. it would be accomplishment he could fully retire on. 46-0 mayweather by 2013. hope he reitres after that, id die if he loss.
