Ross Greenburg: "until Pacquiao beats Mayweather, his legacy is not complete". AGREE?

[jrosales13]

Cotto and Pac were fighting to earn a fight with floyd...'tard

your question is pointless

Then you can also say that Floyd and JMM fought to earn a fight with Pac...

[fcastro1]

Yes. i have. I saw Oscar Delahoya, Shane Mosley and Vernon forrest do it.

what r u talking about pac beat the lineal flyweight champ at 19. and now fighting at 10 divisions above. those guys have not done that

[Dirt]

its obvious mayweather stans are mad that pac is regarded as an ATG while their boy PBF will be forgotten in 20 years.

[jrv1932]

Floyd created his own standard, "I'm the best of all time"

"he would be easy work", then never, ever fight the guy.

And there are some pacquiao fans clling him the goat and want him to fight yuri foreman

In truth, mayweather came back to fight Pac. Or "the winner of Pac vs Cotto".

That was always the big prize on the table. These two PPV's served almost like a mini-tourney.

Why do you guys on this board have to turn every discussion into a back-n-forth spitting contest? With name -calling and defending and/or insulting fighters?

[jrosales13]

All that title stuff is meaningless to me anyway.

Would you give Pac more "credit" for beating Cory Spinks in his next fight and getting the 154 IBF belt... or for beating Floyd at 147 for no belt?

I would give more credit to Pac for beating Shane at 147 than beat Floyd at 147. Just cuz is lineal bro. You can't say is meaningless. Who was the last fighter to win a lineal featherweight title and a lineal WW title? Was it Armstrong? Who was the last fighter to win 3 lineal titles in 3 of the original 8 weightclasses? I think it was SRR? That is great company bro.

You can't say is meaningless cuz it is not easy to do. Cuz if it was easy somebody would of done it by now. And, nobody has. Nobody has even tried it. Or I even think come close to doing it. I don't think we will ever see anybody who come this close again. Bro is not meaningless.

But, to answer your question no I would give Pac more credit for beating Spinks or Foreman. But, I would give him more credit for Shane or even the unthinkable and maybe impossible Pavlik at 160. Than beating Floyd.

If you are going to count what guys did as teenagers at flyweight and bantamweight, then let's do it for everybody.

Oscar was a bantamweight champion at 16 in the ams.

But, it wasn't the lineal bantamweight world champion as a pro was it?

[Bogler]

im a pac fan obviously but im neutral on this. legacy wise, they each have their own and as most here will agree, pac's legacy is higher than mayweather if they both retire right now. but its not a matter of who needs who in this situation, if this fight dont happen, yes there'll be a big gap in the history of boxing that will be debated on forever.

but to say pac's legacy is not complete w/o floyd on his resume is bullsh|t.
