    Default If Floyd had losses

    If the first fight with Castillo was counted as a loss and the first with Maidana as well a loss. Would Mayweather be as big as he is now? Would he have been the cash cow ever?

    Yes or no?

    If he would have lost I think we'd see the best of Floyd in fights after that. He wouldn't be scared of losing and take tougher fights. Pacquiao lost and still is a top earner in the sport.

    Why on earth would the first Maidana fight be a loss?

    I thought Floyd won it but I'm using it as an example cause it is the only other close fight floyds been in. Cotto was good too but I thought Maidana did better.

    I agree, I think Floyd would become more aggressive and show he does have power too and got more K.o's. Also Dela Hoya lost all of his big fights and was still the cash cow. I think as long as you got public appeal it don't matter if you lost or not. Does it matter for floyd?

    The fight with Judah was a draw and the fight with Oscar was a loss as well.

    The fights with Judah was a disqualification after Roger jumped in the ring.

    Many people already viewed Castillo 1 as a loss or at least way too close for comfort. Same with Maidana 1, Mayweather came back, adjusted and pretty much dominated. I think he'd be exactly where he is now whatever the numbers read like.

    Floyd lost all his fights.

    In fact, he doesn't deserve to be the face of boxing or richest athlete on earth.

    He has ducked everyone and the illumati and new world order has put him in this position.

    The fact he fought and beat castillo in a close fight with a torn rotator cuff and then listens to fans and gives him a rematch and dominates uninjured should be applauded.

    Yeah I said it...lol

    Floyd would not be able to command as much money, everyone wants to see him lose his 0.

    Is that the same for for every other undefeated fighter?

    Ward is undefeated but slips under the radar because hes a good guy..a loss wouldnt ruin him..but a loss might change floyd at this stage.

    I don't think so. A lot of his heat comes from being playing the role of the villain, the guy who people want to see get his comeuppance. If he was already bested, people wouldn't be as interested. The streak, the 0, is a big part of his drawing ability.

    Without his 0 he wouldn't be a quarter of the star he is. Every fight is sold on - 40 tried, 40 failed, 45 tried, 45 failed, 47 tried etc etc

    Floyd-Hatton was billed as - Undefeated

    Being undefeated is a massive seller for casual fans (who are the market for PPV)
