Who will be talked about more in 100 years? Floyd Mayweather Jr or Manny Pacquiao?

[Gigantes]

there shouldn't be any reason to even discuss a woman beater in the next 100 years. the woman beater *floyd shouldn't even be discussed anymore, he's not a great human and is lucky he isn't still locked up for beating a woman in front of children.

the woman beater *Floyd is from America and could've went to school for free if he wanted, yet still never learned to read, Pacquiao had to sell food to feed his family and never had an opportunity to go to school, yet is able to read

This was a good thread!

Since you brought up Jack Johnson lets have an honest conversation. More people talk about Jack Johnson because he was the one that everyone hated. Why was he hated? Because the guys everyone loved couldn't beat the menacing black guy that talked a ton of shit.

Now obviously America has changed from Jack Johnson's time to Floyd Mayweather's time but what has oddly stayed the same is white people still despise the loud, brash, ****y, black fighter. That fighter usually generates the most revenue because the majority of white fans pay to see that fighter lose. That is the fighter that is most remembered. You all know this.

Just like Johnson, Ali, and Tyson, Floyd no matter how much current posters hate that reality. Floyd defined the era. He was the most known fighter. He was the most polarizing fighter. He is the fighter most of the boxers from the following era pattern themselves after. He was the cash cow. He was the face of the sport.

Just look at this thread so far. The 2 posters before me that claimed Manny would be more remembered post about Floyd more than any other fighter.

This is one of the only posts in this thread that recognizes their fame in 100 years will be more about the outside of the ring fame than inside of the ring.

Why do people even talk about jack johnson today and his story. Its usually not the intricate details of his title defenses.

In 100 years some random person isnt going to be talking about Mayweather's check hook KO of hatton vs Mannys brutal accumulation stoppage over margarito. They will be talking about them as celebrities.

They pretty evenly famous now and they arent dead yet. If either of them does some wild chit, like what if Pacquaio goes OJ on jinkee, just as an example, that would make him more famous.

Why is Mike Tyson more famous than Larry Holmes, is it because of his boxing record, him winning the fight or is it because he bit Holyfields ear off, went to prison, got his face tattooed and does movie cameos?

Even look at Ali, everyone knows who he is, knows he refused to go to vietnam, knows his charisma ect. But if you ask them hey could I get a break down of how you think a foreman rematch would go or do they even know how many times for sure he fought Fraizer, they probably dont ***ing know.

It depends.

Floyd is mostly famous in north america but globally pac is more known.Obviously 100 years from now people are gonna talk about the guy who became a boxer and then a senator or possibly a president.
