    I think he sealed his HOF credentials a while back, he sealed his ATG credentials when he beat Cotto IMO.

      the question is when did Floyd sealed his legacy. and we are not talking
      fantasy fights and hypothetical lines like if, would could should gonna. so when did Floyd exactly sealed his legacy.

          I didnt say it was sealed, so I am asking you, If he beats Manny, will that seal his legacy? He is already a HOFer and one of the best of this era.

            Pac beating Hatton 2 years after Mayweather Cements Legacy?

            who says beating Hatton is Floyd's legacy?

            Floyd's legacy is beating Baldomir

            because when pac lost to erik morales erik was not a champion nor was he considered capable of winning a title against top comp.

            after erik beat pac he had to move to 135 because he couldn't make 130 comfortably, and in his first fight at 135 did erik challenge the best 135lber in juan diaz at the time or did he opt for a fight with zahir rahem who outboxed and embarrassed him.

            once erik lost pac came calling for a fight at 130 a weight they knew erik had trouble making and how did pac's people know this well they were both promoted by bob arum and bob had the inside scoop to give pac's team on erik's trouble making weight.

            why would pac fight erik at 130 and not 135

            coz 135 is not erik's best weight, did you realize that or you're just plain dumb?

              145 wasnt cottos best weight and he was shot, 147 wasnt DLH's and he was shot and weight drained. hatton had already been detroyed

              so where are you going with this?

              contradictions anyone

                  Ricky Hatton and Paulie Malignaggi were the clear #1 and 2 at 140. Tim Bradley didnt even become a world champion until after the Hatton/Malignaggi fight was announced.

                  Nate Campbell also didnt become a world champion until after Pac/Diaz was announced. And Casamayor was the best at 135. Not Campbell.
                  hatton was not #1 unless you count a magazine as ranking the best fighters in a weight class.

                  I want to ask you how many title defenses of zoos IBF title did hatton make. hatton was living of the zoo win and refused to fight the best at 140. paulie was never the best at 140 or even ranked top 3 at 140

                  nate campbell or juan diaz was the obivous choice for team pac moving up to 135 if they were serious about figthing the best but they weren't they wanted a weak champ to claim 4 titles in 4 weight classes

                  once they got their 4th title they decided to fight the weakest figher at 140 who was ricky hatton who had a garbage IBO belt at the time.

                  should I continue

                    and 130 at that stage in eriks career was his best weight

                      147 wasn't Hattons best, JMM was overblown featherweight & DLH was shot & past prime

                      we can play this game
