I was kidding about teh BigShow of course, no man would do ever that..
Of course hes worried about losing, if that wasnt the case he would be fighting more often. And like TysonJones said, losing might cost him his superstar status

[TysonJones]

It most definently will.

[SugarShane]

A loss wouln't cost him his star quality, but it would smash him to pieces for damn sure. His ego would take a massive hit, and that's part of why I can't see it happening.

[TysonJones]

everything that makes floyd mayweather floyd mayweather would be ruined.

Bernard hasn't defended his Ring 175lbs belt against a legit 175 pounder EVER. He's still #1 in my book. Hatton has fought 2 legit 140lbs fighters in his last 5 fights, he's still ranked #1 in my book. Mayweather has fought 2 legit 147lbs fighter in his last 5 fights, he's still ranked #1 in my book.

Anyone that has a double stadard can be described with one word.

Hypocrite is the word indeed.

Urango ( not even 20 fights ) and castillo 135 and collazo 147 and mayweather 147 are not legitimiate 140 pounders in my book. Malignaggi and Witter are.

Yep

Yep

I agree. Hatton is a great guy. But money is his first priority just like everybody else

don't let the may-haters read this. according to them mayweather's the only fighter who fights for money

[Matty The Ghost]

He's probably the only one that will openly admit it to the public that he only fights for the money.

He doesn't fight more often because he only wanna get in the ring for huge fights. Losing will definitely destroy his image I never said the contrary. Floyd fights for the most money regardless of the level of opposition.
