    depends on how he loses, if he loses by decision, he can fight the loser of Pac/cotto, since the winner probably faces JMM. If he loses badly, say KO (farfetched i know) he just might retire.

    Any form of defeat to JMM will be mentally devastating for Floyd... I think he will retire again... this time for good...

    i hope not, just wanna see how he conditions for a fight coming from a loss. He just might be braver if ever and aim for the best fights, since he already lost that "0"..

    I would expect him to retire, it would help him save face, although if it was a questionable close decision loss i would expect a rematch. To be honest if he loses to JMM it probably will be a sign that he has fallen significantly.

    definitely a rematch and then he'd want to suddenly take on fighters such as Paul Williams etc so that he could final prove he is the king at 147.

    So losing to a lightweight would give him the confidence to take on Paul Williams? Can't see that happening.

    i think that the realization that having no loss in your record is everything, or at all important. Its really about constantly challenging yourself against opponents seen as a possible threat to you.:hey

    I have voted others for a very good reason which PBF will not lose to Marquez who is a great fighter himself.

    We have boxers doing better after a loss but I highly doubt it will be the case with Floyd... A loss to JMM will be a huge mentally devastating loss... Floyd's invincible armor will be totally crushed... Imagine if a smaller, older, slower and lesser skilled boxer than Floyd can defeat him then boxers like Paul Williams, Mosley and Cotto will suddenly have a 50/50 chance of defeating Floyd...

    I think Floyd would rather retire to help save his "Pretty Boy" face (like what the other poster pointed out)... I hope I'm wrong on this one tho since a Floyd loss to JMM will open more competitive match-ups at WW...

    :yepMAYWEATHER can still draw money!?!?:lol::lol: Are u up to date with the ticket sales for his fight with JMM? Even after a delay on the fight there's still plenty of tickets in all sections!!:lol:... When he fought DLH & HATTON , they were the draw, not him,like this fight clearly proves! GAYweather's drawing power was a myth only his delusional fans could've ever believed!
