What would a GGG- Mayweather for Floyd's legacy?

People will find an excuse not to give him credit like always, in this case it's very easy, they're just gonna say GGG was drained, so it won't help his legacy just like beating Pacquiao and all the rest of them guys didn't in a lot of people's eyes.

Floyd would be fighting the greatest of all time so it would be a huge fight for him but he needs to accept Golovkin's terms since Gennady is the A-Side. And that means, at Golovkin's desired weight and he would have to take less of the purse because Gennady like I said is considered as the greatest/most important fighter of all time.

It'd have to be at 160
Definitely gets him kudos & removes the risk adverse connection to his career

Very very little. Golovkin hasn't beat any top names besides Lemiuex and Lemieux is nothing special. And beating GGG at 154 would mean nothing since GGG isn't a true light middle weight. The people who want to see this fight are just the ones who want to see Floyd lose. If Floyd pulls it off people will just find another person he's supposedly ducking. Maybe Kovalev will be the new guy.

They will find a way to discredit it.

As of now it wouldn't do much because gennady needs to build up some accomplishments

In order for the victory to have an impact gennady would need to beat some good fighters after Floyd whoops his azz

Original title should be, what would this victory do for Floyd's legacy. Sorry.

Honestly nothing, tbh.

If Floyd were to fight Golovkin, and box him to a 12-0/11-1 victory, folks immediately look back to Golovkin's resume, and see that he's spent his ten-year career bum crushing, Golovkin's story gets re-told as the bum fighter who Floyd washed.

id have him top 10 atg if he did it.

ggg is good and big, if he boxed circles around him like he did canelo, id be very suprised and have to put him top 10.

ggg said he would fight floyd at 154

Even at 160 people will find an excuse not to give him credit.
