How Floyd will be remembered in boxing?

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Some of you should really try getting laid every now and then...trust me, it works.

Oh never mind, you guys can't seem to get one MAN out of your heads long enough to do that.

Excuse me for expecting too much. Who was I kidding?

He will probably be remembered for being one of the highest paid athlete who was never challenged by any of the competition he faced. People like to fantasize about what would happen if he faced Pacquiao or even Margarito but seem to forget that these two were embarrassed by two of the same fighters Mayweather had no problems beating. Logic would tell you that the results would be the same if the fights did happen but not to the illogical.

Never fought a single guy that people thought he might have a chance to lose. For example, he could fight Canelo, Trout, Martinez, Pacquiou etc and quite a few people will think he might get beat. Not one person was surprised he beat Cotto, not one person surprised he beat Ortiz etc.

To me: more about money, less about legacy

What a nicely written triangle theory

Floyd will be remembered for ducking a prime Pac

[KickAzz]

Lols... typical ***** logic...

Come on *****s, Floyd doesn't get credit for ducking fights... he actually had to have fought a prime Margarito and a prime Pac to get credit.

Floyd also fought a faded Cotto that gave him all the trouble he could've gotten. Makes you understand why Floyd waited until Cotto lost a step to fight him.

wasup with these millions of Floyd threads lately? Even threads that have nothing to do with him have a million of post about him. Now Rigo wins and every thread is comparing them? Man this site has changed so much since back in the day

they young doe.

as to the topic, when its all said and done and i'm 55 and talking to my son(s) about the fight game, it's an almost certainty that floyd will be the no#1 guy from my generation.

no doubt in my mind.

rigo beats nonito, who's a great fighter, no doubt, but to use that as a measuring stick of how not great a fighter mayweather is, is senile.

the proof is right in front of you guys! he's about to abuse a cat, who's a what ... three division champion? has solid wins over good comp and we'll see floyd wipe the floor with him. then it'll be the same thing over again "when's floyd gonna fight somebody?"

yo, floyd's been fighting somebodies his entire career. if rigo was a little heavier in the @ss ... no doubt that floyd would have his way with rigo.

Unless he fights a fighter in the top 10 P4P soon, he won't be remembered

Greatest talent of his generation. If he retires undefeated that would be real special.
