Does A Pacman Win Hurt Floyd's Legacy

[Pullcounter]

I think everyone can agree that at 130 and 135 Floyd was one of the greatest fighters ever. But there's been a lot of criticism about his fights at the higher weights and the main defense is that he was in it to fight the big names like Oscar and Hatton. If Pacman beats those two opponents in a more convincing fashion does that hurt Floyd's legacy?

lol... keep up this line of thought and people are gonna so pissed when pbf comes back to fight pac

No that would do nothing to Floyd's legacy because they are not correlated, but more perpendicular. that's like saying Peyton beat the Pats by 14, but eli beat them by 21 so Eli is the better QB. That is just ******....but if Pacman beat Floyd himself then that would hurt his legacy.

Bad comparison. Football is made up of a team. Not 1 person.

If Pac is able to do something to the much bigger Delahoya that Floyd couldnt, i dont see how it would'nt take away from Floyd's win. Dont get me wrong, a win is a win, but if Pac were to beat Oscar in a more decisive fashion, or possibley KO him, it will definitely take away from Floyd's shine.

This wouldnt be the case if Floyd wasnt the type of fighter who did just enough to win. He could've easily turned up the heat on Hoya, but he clearly chose not to. He's not a risk taker, and although its worked in his favor thus far, it has also brought on much criticism.

Floyd does just enough to win? 98% of his fights have been shutouts. The Oscar fight was not as close as the cards.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF are you talking about! ask yourself does pacq beat PBF! ok then! end thread!

Different weight class. Will be a semi-freak show, a notch down behind Oscar-Pac.

98% of his fights were against opponents that he was EXPECTED to shut out! LOL.
