Even if Mayweather beats Delahoya, does that make him a legend ? ? ?

[THE REAL NINJA]

Okay, I'll put this real simple.

A "Legend" is someone everybody knows, regardless of pretty much anyone who you ask. If you walk into a convenience store and say the name, "Rocky Marciano", the clerk will know who you're talking about. Same with John Wayne, Martin Luther King Jr., Evel Knieval, and Muhammad Ali. If you walk up to that same clerk and say the name, "Floyd Mayweather Jr.", he's going to give you a look akin to a deer in headlights and say, "Who?"


....that is why Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not a legend. Pretty cut and dried actually.

I agree I've been doing this sort of thing on and off for the last year or so . Everyone knows Tyson,Lewis, Holy some even Jones and Toney, but no one knows who PBF,Zab,Hatton,Calz etc are . one guy told me that Tua and Byrd fight alike

Just try it and tell me if I'm wrong....if I am, then fine. That would mean Rocky isn't an across the board legend.

dude i'll admit jack dempsey is a famous figure, but rocky.... sorry no he isnt.

Walk into a convenience store at random and ask a clerk if he's heard of Rocky Marciano....then come back here and post his response.

Rocky isn't that well known...

LOL!! I don't really care if he is or isn't. I'm just using him as an example. He is closer to a "legend" than Floyd is because more people know who he is.

Maybe in your neighborhood...

...but I guarandamntee you more people have heard of him than Floyd Mayweather across the country....or the world.

Most people that know nothing about boxing still know about him from the Rocky movies

where Mick talks about him' and the Rocky Marciano movie
