how do you think mayweather will handle it if he loses?

[jbirdy]

i am still undecided about a prediction for the delahoya vs mayweather fight. i'm still saying a decision, but which way i dunno yet.
anyway if mayweather does lose the fight i wonder how he will handle it. he is undefeated and had a very sucessful amateur career so i dont think he knows how to lose really and generally behaves well when a decision is anounced. but after watching his antics and bad mouthing over the years and in todays press conference it is evident to me that he is some what lacking the class that i like in a fighter. oscar is a class act and i think will deal with another loss well. however i can just see mayweather having a little paddy about it because of his childishness.

Jbirdy that is a great question and im sorry

[jbirdy]

hey no probs man. dont worry about it bud.
what do you reckon about the topic?

[Tysonbruno]

it will be a massive dent to his ego but if he loses i think it could make a better person humble him a little sorry again i dont know i give a few opinions and im the most hated man on the site

Well he's already talking about a ODLH rematch in a recent interview which worries me.
I think if he loses, he'll probably go the rematch route if it's on the table. Although it'll be very tempting for Oscar to retire after a defeat over Mayweather.
Sad to say that I think Floyd will plunge into a major catasrophic decline if he loses. Almost a Naz-esque plunge.
If he doesn't get the rematch with Oscar I think he'll go on to win a couple unspirited matches with little fanfare.
He's one of those guys that, mostly through his own attitude and actions, has built up this invincible persona. And whenever these types of guys loses (like Naz or Tyson) it affects them a lot more than a fighter who's faced adversity earlier on in their career.
This fight is do or die for Floyd.

[Tysonbruno]

thats true Tyson and Naz did'nt take it well good point

[ono]

He'l cry like a biatch...then he will thank his sponsors and claim he's a warrior.

But he won't lose so he'l be ok.

[jbirdy]

to be honest he is quite reslectful of fighters once he has beat em. like after the gatti fight he said that arturo was a warrior and he only said all of his trash talk bollocks to sell tickets. but i think it could be a different story if he loses. but i supose it all depends how he loses.

[DaxxKahn]

He will cry and whine line a biatch to no end.....Just as much as he annoys people with his constant self parise he will triple it with excuses...It will be everyone elses fault but Floyds....

Hell he will probably even blame Vinnie Paz for not timing his coffee right....

anyone remember the time Floyd said he wanted to fight Wright and Hopkins...

[Tysonbruno]

This is a great question it depends what sort of person he really is behind that persona. If he as a true fighters grit to lick his wounds then get back to it or just fade away see we have fighters like Barrera who was unbeatable the next mexican legend then he lost to junior jones twice but he went back to the drawing board and cameback better for it. Even after the pacman loss he just sucked it up then cameback again.But then you have the fighter like Naseem Hamed a world beater on his way to being a british boxing legend unbeaten then he loses to Barrera and fades away he just did'nt know how to handle it

[GAME]

He cried when he doesnt perform to his own standards like when he said he wanted to make Carlos wave teh white flag , instead Floyd was unhappy he did it on points and was visibly upset . Losing to Oscar would be a massive setback and a huge dent to his ego

Lets be realistic though , thats not guna happen is it . Floyd is the creme de la crem of boxing and filthy rich records is where its at

[El Kabong]

He won't accept it.....doesn't mean it won't have happened but he won't accept it.

He'll accuse people of 'hating on him' and accuse the judges of robbing him of his greatness.....even if he's sparked unconscious, he'll find someone else to blame.

He takes all the glory for the wins but it takes a big man to accept responsibility for defeats and he's not a big man

[motorcitycobra]

He'll want an imeddiate rematch there an then, best of three, if he loses that it'll be best of five an so on an so on.......

[Lance Uppercut]

If he looses a decision, I bet he acts like James Toney after the last Peter fight: Insist that he was robbed.

[BubbleBox]

He'd probably cry like a baby!

Could be another James Butler sucker punch!
