He has achieve it all IMO.
If he loses to Pac (who has a better resume - IMO), I wouldn't think much less at all of him as a fighter. He's already an ATG, Floyd, so it wouldn't be that bad in his resume.
Agree?
Anyway, If they do fight, I think Pac takes it by KO - Just my opinion. :boxing:
I wouldn't either. No shame in losing to Pac. One of the best fighters of this era. Honestly, I don't think you can tell how great somebody is until they tested themselves to the fullest and lose and how they come back from that lost. All the greatest boxers that lived have lost. Will Floyd disappear into obscurity if he loses like Prince Naseem? Or will he come back and redeem himself and show everyone how really great he is?
Tell floyd that. He thinks his '0' is the most important thing.
If you lose fighting the best you still get the recognition u deserve.
Look at Calzaghe.

I guess that would depend partially on how BOTH perform in the ring. I'll withhold my judgment until AFTER i see the fight in its entirety.
if he lose his legacy would be a big JOKE. he avoided a fight againt Mosley in welterweight a few years ago, avoided Margarito and Cotto. if he was to lose against Manny his ATG status would be in question. imagine his best win was from a 38 yrs old Mosley? damn what a bad resume! Cotto even beat the better version of Mosley.
If Floyd loses.... nobody on earth is gonna be checking for him thats for sure.
This dude burned so many bridges its ridiculous. Floyd Mayweather is totally FU**D if he loses just once. Both Financially and his status as an ATG!
While most of you said sounds ridiculous, it's also unfortunately true. It's somethig I've said for a long time, once Mayweather loses (no matter how it goes) people will stick to that loss like white on rice and nobody he will not gain as much money as he usually does all of because that '0'. Zeroes are overrated, but when coupled with a huge winning streak, they bring in big numbers because people will tune to see if maybe, just maybe, that will be time where Mayweather loses, and nobody would miss it for the world.
I don't think his standing should be affected by losing to Pacquiao. He's considered the only one on Pacquiao's level (or is it the other way around?). Anyway, the point is, every time they fight they're flipped in rankings with everyone else a distant 3rd and 4th. They're in a class all by themselves and I don't see how either lose their places and pound for pound rankings unless it's a shocking blow-out like Toney-Jones, Jr. (#1 and #2 going at it and comes out one-sided).
In that case, yeah. Floyd would be shunned for life.
Much of Floyd's "Legacy" is based on the fact that he is undefeated. He's talented, and a great defensive fighter, but he's also accused of avoiding opponents and is boring from a spectator standpoint.
Pacman's legacy is'nt tied to being undefeated, as he has losses on his record. He's known for being an exciting fighter to watch.
So if Floyd loses his legcy is seriously damaged. If Pacman loses, it remains fairly initact.
I'm ignoring the top all time pound for pound issue as a "Legacy" as that argument is always BS and full of bias regardless of whom you are talking about.
if pacquiao cannot ko floyd, he will still not come out of the fight with his rotator cup intact. pacquiao will at least destroys floyd's rotator cup that will lead to his retirement. true!!. thats at least the original plan concocted by roach, go for the shoulder destroy the rotator cup! just imagine for 4 rounds pacquiao pounding on that left shoulder, yayyy! now you know why the vacation...
This is what I don't get about the feud between Floyd fans and Manny fans. They act as if one losing to the other means they would be horrible and overrated after. It wouldn't mean that at all, it would just mean that Floyd or Manny was better, which is the whole point of why we want them to fight. It wouldn't mean the loser was any less of a great than we thought before.
Morons on here always want to act as if a loss mean a fighter is terrible, when nearly every great fighter has not only lost, but lost multiple times.
If Floyd loses.... nobody on earth is gonna be checking for him thats for sure.

If Floyd loses to Pac, I don't think I'd think of Floyd
at any given moment after that. There's so much things
to think about. Floyd will be the last thing on my mind.
Point is, it's just entertainment. Fact that we finally saw
the fight is enough. It really doesn't matter who won or
lost.
This fight needs to happen so idiots like you can go away for good. If pac couldn’t ko cotto,odh,magarito,jmm how the fuck he’s he suppose to ko Floyd fagot?
Are you mad? :(
And why? Because maybe Pac has the power, accuracy and footwork to end Floyd.
old ass Genaro
Chico that was about to go to jail
Castillo
old ass Shane
i guess that's 'aight'...he doesn't have anything to prove
Philip Ndou was a very good win IMO.

If Pac loses to Floyd it wont hurt him so much legacy wise. Pac has done spectacularly for so many years, it cant continue.
But i dont think Pac would knock out floyd because floyd dont take the risks to be knocked out. Most likely floyd would be too negative and Pac wins on points. Even if floyd lands more punches Pac will win because the judges will see he tried to make the fight.
