If Floyd beats Shane and Beats Manny is that enough?

[DIB42]

All but hardcore Floyd fans feel that floyd needs to do more to seal his legacy. His years spent not fighting top welterweights while campaigning in the welterweight division has negatively affected his image. The pre-welter floyd would haven't been questioned in my opinion, but after moving up and claiming to be the best, but not proving it, he's drawn attention to himself and in his own way negatively effected his legacy, but increased his ppv demand.

What i wonder, if Floyd fights and beats shane, and then fights and beats manny.... Is that enough? Will he still be questioned or will the critics be satisfied with that?

Does he then have to go on and beat paul williams? someone else?

What do you think?

I would say if he beats both of these,his legacy is sealed. I believe after Williams last fight,that Paul cannot handle people who keep distance and counter-Floyd would pull off a masterpiece....

If floyd beats Shane & Pacman then finally,I can say this man is the best of this generation,or at least close to it!!

Yes. I believe so. Especially a win over a prime Pacquiao. Pacquiao's ass whooping on Cotto proves he is a prime WW and would be Floyd's greatest win. Add Mosley and maybe even Williams and it's a done deal. Now beating all those guys is another story lol.

Actually the more i was thinking about this, it doesn't seal his legacy... Beating an old Mosely who's been off for a year, and a short Manny that will probably win but be ruined by Clottey's headbutting, and a paul williams that just went to war with martinez, does nothing for Floyds legacy.... if floyd wants to seal his legacy he needs to beat a prime Malinaggi, and Mathew hatton and then seal the deal with a victory over the legend nate cambell.








*before the flames begin.... just a joke...... calm down.... Manny & Shane are enough IMO*

[DLT]

That definitely is enough but I honestly dont believe he stops there. I think he would go to 154 to see Martinez and possibly Williams if both guys are still hot at the time

If Floyd beats Mosley and Pac you know damn well that`s not gonna be enough for the *******s.They`ll say:He has to fight and beat Pavlik,both klitschos,Paul williams,Chad Dawson,Andre Ward,Andre Dirrell,Samuel Peter,
then they`ll say he would have moved one step closer to the hall of fame.

How you beat people counts as well. IMO the way he beat DLH isnt satisfactory enough. People beat DLH better when DLH was in his prime than PBF did. THere has to be an explanation for that and the explanation is because PBF isnt that good when he faced top opposition.
Yes he beat Hatton, and well done for that. But Collazo nearly beat him as well, as did a few others at 147. Pac showed how its supposed to be done. PBF will always lose brownie points for the manner of his wins.

If he beats Pac it will be far his best win. SSM he should have fought years ago. So he will need a few more over light middlewieight Paul WIlliams to show David really did Goliath.
No one is fooled by his win over DLH as a david and goliath moment in boxing.
Even Duran beat Barkley.

I don't think he needs to fight Sam Peter, he already beat Big Show, and Big Show > Sam Peter ....

Its interesting you mention the "*******s".... Is ******* now a general term for anyone who doesn't like floyd, or is it still for manny stans?
