Who is more likely to be remembered 20 years from now? A guy who retired undefeted mu

[Kuyukut]

pac will be remembered more just because he's more exciting and fought more champions on their prime.

and if you compare him to that other fighter (forgot his name???) that always put you to sleep each time he fights then there's no contest!

[KillaCamNZ]

I think the two have become permanently linked. It will be hard to discuss one's legacy without discussing the other.

This.

Any conversation about one, means the other will follow.

he beat undefeated cotto. the same guy floyd didnt want to fight and retired instead. he also beat undefeated sergio martinez who didnt lose for another 10 years after that. you wish floyd had those wins on his resume but floyds got the old dudes!

Sergio wasn't even a contender then

Cotto beat margo as well

typical floyd boy name caller...but he still trumped you...

i don't care if he lost to 20 bums straight....he still beat an elite, undefeated cotto...handed cotto his first L....point blank...all that other crap you talking is lip service...

Floyd beat the guy (Marquez) who knocked out Manny with ease, had a longer undefeated streak than Manny, and beat Manny in a head to head match up. Floyd is also the only undefeated five division champion in boxing history. He is the greater fighter for sure.

floyd will be remembered as the best of his generation 20 years from now and 20 years from now you'll still be making excuses, shedding tears, and beating off to Manny highlights......you'll get over it

The version of Marquez that Mayweather defeated was NOT the same version of Marquez who was juiced up for the Pacquiao fight. Mayweather was fighting a JMM who came up two weight classes drinking his own urine, while Floyd failed to make weight for a catch weight he demanded. Roidez was hulked up and getting his ass handed to him with a broken nose until he landed the lucky punch heard round the world. Big difference.

Undefeated means nothing when you haven't faced anyone in their prime. I'll take champion in 8 weight classes and some losses over a protected undefeated record over faded names and no-hopers.

always? maybe by some but not always. his poor resume and lack of taking on the best will hurt him. some will overlook that of course and focus on the fantasy elements of boxing. they will look at how he beat past prime fighters and think that also applies to how we would do against them when they were good. Others with more of an eye for detail will say the greatest fighter is someone with great wins. this could even be a fighter who has lost!!!

Mayweather is the consensus greatest fighter of his generation by those that can actually think rationally. Those that let their hate blind rational thought need not reply.
