This.
Do people actually think that one can steal another fighter's legacy by beating him? That by beating him, you claim victory over all his accomplishments? lol nono. Hearns doesn't have a better legacy than Duran even if he knocked him out. Same story if Maywether beats Pacquiao.
That said, he gets a lot of respect should he get the win. Cements his place in history. The only problem is, that place would still be under Pacquiao. One great win does not make up for a career half riddled with disappointing opposition.
yes. ever talked to a calzaghe fan?
If he whoops him, damn right he gets respect. But even then Pac's res/legacy is still better.

According to PBF himself:
Pac been KO'd twice.
Pac lost to JMM twice.
Pac's wins over Oscar and Ricky weren't quality.
Basically Pac's greatness is a lie.
Why should he get credit for beating him?
:dunno::dunno::dunno:
People take what Mayweather says into consideration only when it benefits them.
nope.
if he fights pac it's only for the money and/or because he knows he can beat pac.
respect for what?
i'd have had given him some respect if he fought marg or cotto when those 2 were his #1 challengers.
if we use floyd logic "pacs already been knocked out twice" so if floyd has to run to a boring decision win he's not even as good as rustico torrecampo.
Ive heard the same thing all night
"when mayweather beats pac""
"im gonna laugh at you when floyd beats pac"
"floyd mightve ducked the entire welterweight division, but when he beats berto, mosley, manny...."
Dont count your chickens before they hatch floyd fans. It seems you cant comprehend this concept.
