If Floyd beats Martinez for the lineal MW title what does it do for his legacy?

[$tate of Mind]

Personally, I believe that if Floyd accomplished this feat it would make him at least a certified top 25 ATG and easily the best fighter of this generation imo. I've always thought that Martinez would beat Floyd, but after watching his fight this past weekend it would be 50/50 to me now.

A great deal.

A great deal.

Where would you rank him all time after such a feat?

If he does that he would have something to boast about, but Floyd seems to put his opponents on pedestals and limits what he thinks he can achieve and im not sure Floyd would have the confidence to tackle Sergio at 154 right now, let alone 160.

The thing is if Floyd beats Sergio at 154, people will assume Sergio would have beat Floyd at 160 though. So it would be preferble for Floyd to beat Sergio at 160, so people assume Floyd would also win at 154. Killing 2 birds with one stone is the saying isnt it?

Can't say.

Depends on the weight, and how he wins.

So many great fighters.

I try not to rank fighters until they retire.

He would be ranked above pacquiao.

It would do a lot.
