    Default Floyd's detractors care most about the 0

    More than even Floyd. I've read about "-1" about 10k times this week on various sites. As if one loss matters. Read it a few times here as well. It's silly.

    Floyd will be 48-0 after tonight.

    He needs to retire.

    It matters to them because Floyd has built his own aura of invincibility (which he should not be indicted for, imo. Boxers should be cocky).

    The clichéd "Blue collared, making ends meet" fans like for athletes people to be humbled.

    I care more about him being a convicted domestic abuser .

    His boxing skills are undeniable and one loss wouldn't change that. However, his entire persona has been built around being undefeated, so his marketability among casual fans would likely plummet.

    I agree fully. But look who talks about it constantly. The people against him. One loss means nothing. Those that speak of how horrible domestic violence is are 100% correct.

    I don't think a loss would really tarnish his legacy all that much among serious fans, except that it would validate the accusations of cherry-picking. In my mind, he should be 46-1-1, but that takes nothing away from his skills.

    Floyd also cares about his 0 more than anyone else on this earth.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
