That's why you won't hear Mayweather's name being thrown around decades from now as some amazing fighter, but you will for Pacquiao. They can stick to their safety first bull**** style for all I care, but they'll be remembered for that in their "legacy" as well.

Manny is NOT a pressure fighter. He moves in and out of the pocket. He has movement and footwork that do not apply to pressure fighters.
Same time Floyd fights might involve less getting hit but thats cos Floyd is the hardest man to hit in the game.
Watch those skills. They are poetic.

He has good reasons for it. Those reasons make tactical SENSE for an athlete who, as a boxer, plans a long career while holding onto his braincells. And he is NOT a pressure fighter and he VERY RARELY steps into the pocket if at all.
I'm not attacking Wlad. I'm just wondering where boxing is going.
Wheres the pressure going to come from?
Who is coming up and is that a dead style?
