    Margarito, Cintron, Williams etc. Will Not Add to Floyd's Legacy

    I'm sick of people saying fighting these prospects/contenders will add to Floyd's legacy. It will not. If Floyd beats these guys down, he will not get any credit for it even 10 years from now. Why? Because these guys haven't done **** in their careers. Margarito has beat nothing but fringe contenders and is content holding onto his paper title. Cintron has yet to beat a solid top 10 welterweight yet and is another paper champ. Williams also hasn't beat even a top 20 welterweight and has no meaningful titles. He is just a prospect with a lot of hype right now. What do beating guys who have accomplished nothing do for Floyd, a fighter who has accomplished more than these three fighters will do in their careers combined?

    When you talk about Sugar Ray Leonard's legacy, no one ever mentions his wins over Green, Lalonde or any other contenders he fought. You talk about his fights with the greats like Duran, Hagler, and Hearns. Floyd will be looked at much more favorably for beating DLH than for beating Margarito, Cintron, or Williams...

        You're probably right, especially not Williams or Cintron at least not at this time. But beating Margarito WOULD silence all the Mexican- Mayweather bashers. But that doesn't seem like its happening any time soon.

          The critics would say Williams was just too green.

                  every boxing fan has their guy. if floyd were to beat him, he'd win me over at least. and some others probably too. i will say, beating margarito would do nothing for me though. to me, a legacy is built on fan support, not what some critic says. they're often wrong just like us fans

                    Cintron and Williams will do nothing for Mayweather. But Margarito will only add to it, add being a lose to his record.

                    Cintron and Williams are on the same level. edit; but, Cintron is more proven then Williams.

                    If you want to call anyone unproven then point fingers to Williams.

                    Why you little kids belive Margarito has done nothing, is because you kids are newbies to the sport.
