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

[Kel]

Probably cry a little and say "I made so much money I dont care" and "Larry, your old and your hair is grey" then he runs out of the venue with a girlie run tripping up half way.

[SweetPea]

I think it's very difficult to predict how an undefeated fighter will handle their first loss. You just can't tell until it actually happens.

There have been fighters who I thought would handle a loss well, and they didn't. And conversely, there have been fighters who I thought would be sore losers, and instead they handled a loss with dignity.
You just have to wait and see.

LOL why for some reason could I see that as an in living color skit with david allen grier playing PBF

[BoomBoom]

Hes probaby already written a list of excuses

[JonesJrMayweather]

He'll blame it on the weight...

"only someone as great as me can come all the way up from 130, 108 if you count my amateur days, and take on someone like the great oscar de la hoya, only me baby and I knew coming in that it was going to be my toughest fight but not even my tremendous skills can overcome such a huge weight disadvantage. I did this for the fans. Filthy rich records in the house, even though noone can name any of my artist they're still in the house. pretty boy floyd still the best of the best and that's it..oh I forgot Larry merchant don't know nothing about boxing"

I don't think he will lose to Oscar but IF he did,there would be a rematch and he'd win,then there would be a third match and

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.

he will pretend he was robbed...

and he will scream about that, but i GUARANTEE that he will begin crying while he is pretending to be a badass

[Wacko3205]

Honestly...I have no idea how he'll react to a loss.

I go back & forth on who's gonna win this one & how...so there's no way in hell I could predict emotionally how Floyd will react.

One thing about it...Floyd is just that EMOTIONAL! In winning he get's his pannies over his head & let's the dam burst wide open. I am sure that in a loss he'll be just as up in the air.

There again...it all depends on how he loses. If he fights his ass off & is robbed then he will show his ass...as would any fighter when the stakes are this high.

Truthfully...I want Floyd to win...even though I am an Oscar fan...there's only so much more that you can get from Oscar...the sky could be the limit on Floyd if he wins.

But I don't think that he'd handle a loss well at the time...as far as him rebounding? He'd do fine, IWO.

I agree. I think that would size be his excuse, and it would be pretty legit. My hope would be, if he loses, that he drops back down and takes care of business at against Cotto, Hatton, etc, instead of starting a trilogy with Oscar. Unfortunately, if he loses, I think we can expect at least one more vs Oscar.

[littlebif]

Floyd has said he would fight De la Hoya at 160lbs and still beat him up.So if he loses he shouldnt say anything about the weight.

[JT Rock]

Well Hey conversely, How will Delahoya react if he loses?? He was ripped S*** walking down the hallway after the Trinidad fight.... Even when he was pissed his voice sounded like Enrique Elasias singing "Let me be your hero"

[Gandalf]

If he is knocked out there should be no excuses, but im sure some would be forthcoming. I dont see Floyd losing though

[Pugilistic]

he will be a gutted grandma

[Olympian904]

To all of the Mayweather haters...what is going to be your excuse when Mayweathers hand is raised at the end of the fight?
Oh DLH was past his prime...he was old...he didnt jab enough...etc..

[yoitsdan]

I think he'll put his tail between his legs, take it quietly on TV then the excuses will come out in the press hours afterwards on the internet. There's a good chance he'll retire, but I think he'll want revenge and come over to Manchester for fat boy. Hope so.
