Will mayweather '0' be more remembered than his avoiding of top fighters?

[kedashy]

I,m not bashing but, i just like to know posters answers about the topic... When his career is over will people remember him more for being undefeated or his dodging??? Please answer honestly and no hating....

In this day and age... everything will be scrutinized from here on in.

as the years go by, it will be more of the 0. Look at Edwin Valero. People will remember him as someone with no losses, all wins by KO, though most of them are from nobodies. It was only on his recent fights were he started to go after some quality fighters, but still not topnotch.

But at this present day where fighters fight so few bouts a year (in Mayweather's case, hardly 1 fight a year, if you count in the years where he "temporarily retired"), it is easy to say that present day fighters avoided some elite opponent. No one is spared. Including Pacquiao. Lennox Lewis is another example. Some people are even questioning Ali!

There will be fans that will love to see him retire undefeated but, there will be fans that will also say how can he not fight those fights and be called the best...

[kedashy]

Yo al22, i don,t know about ali not taking tough fights because ali fought everyone.... Some of the best fighter in the heavies...

[al22tec]

I may have taken the ali thing too much as an example just because of a few sickos who would question his legacy, like this dude

short answer, no.

[gibo]

Will delahoja be remembered for avoiding a rematch against TITO TRINIDAD? How about his avoiding Margarito, Cotto, Winky Wright, Vernon Forrest, J. Taylor, K.Pavlik etc.etc. All top fighters!!! While challenging smaller SSM, PBF, Forbes, and Pacquiao. and getting ***** whipped by 3 of the 4 i mentioned. Who really avoided more? Mayweather or delahoja? And who is still UNDEFEATED????

His o is forgettable. If he dont fight Pac that is what he will be remembered for.
