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...
