    Manny and Wlad but obviously Manny is tied to Mayweather.

    In the future everyone will be praising the K bros, *****ing that fighters nowadays aren't like the olda days.

      No.

      K-bros will be lost to time.

      Margarito won't be remembered at all.

      Hopkins will be lost to time.


      Mayweather will be recognized as a greater fighter than he is now. But won't have one of "standout" wins on his record.


      Pacquiao would be remembered but for his accomplishments pre 140+. Reason being, most of the knowledgeable boxing fans know that his fights weren't all legit. He'd probably get the most respect for hatton post 140+. But all these catchweights and then the Marquez 3 fight. You already have respected boxing historians/critics already downplaying those fights post 140+.

          Yes he will.

          How many people talk about Ken Norton? Exactly.



          Hopkins will be lost to time.

                And where's Roy Jones? If B-Hop gets credit then Roy definitely gets credit... Even though his boxrec profile will have double digit losses before he gives it up...

                Roy's highlights will consist of leaping left hooks and multiple punch combinations... Thrown by a middle weight!!

                Not to mention, he'll have wins over B-Hop and James Toney

                  I would say say the last 15 so yes Oscar would be included. Just not what I listed although I was debating between him and marg.

                    U dont think by him continuing fighting that these fights are destroying the memories of him and his legacy.
