Wow,Amat,you really think so? A loss to the part time promoter,part time fighter,whom he has just beaten,a loss to him would be very severe imo.It would make me wonder and want to see Floyd v Shane/Cotto/Williams etc more than I even do now!
I agree, Gamo.

If Floyd were to lose to Oscar, that severely lowers his legacy. Floyd (and many of his fans, including myself) think of Floyd as a truly great fighter. Great fighters of Floyd's level don't lose in their prime to opponents like Oscar, who is a good (not great) fighter who is past his prime.
