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

[BoloShot]

yet he still defeated the best black fighters of his era.....whats your point joe jeanette 7 times, denver ed martin, sam mcvey 3 times and sam langforde before holding the title


whatever point you are trying to make to belittle his accomplishments and skills isnt a being made....he was a great fighter...simple as that dont matter what he is famous for.....Ali is more famous for his personality outside of the ring, and avoiding military service to some doesnt change he was a great fighter

He never gave other black fighters a title shot. I didn't say he didn't fight them. I said while he was champion he didn't. There's also the main black rival he didn't fight, Harry Wills. Just going to conveniently forget him? He was the most worthy of a title of anyone at the time.

both of them will be talked about equally.... except the bad will be for floyd and the good will be for manny.

Bull****! People remember winners, Manny's got too many losses.That being said Floyd might come back and **** it up for himself.

Probably Mayweather but not for good reasons.

harry wills was not a top heavyweight until johnson was well past his prime....he turned pro 1911-1932


johnson was ten years older than wills


just as wills was fighting mcvey, joe jeanette they were past their best as well, they had no choice but to fight each other so much because of the era they were in

Which ever one is American. Let’s be honestly. America only cares about Americans. When boxing dies off in America which is probably 60 years than it will be manny. But if Vegas continues to be the center point for boxing Floyd will always Trump manny. Most kids in America don’t follow boxing. So I know damn well they will not be doing it 100 years from now. Then all the memories of the two will be YouTube and google. It’s kinda hard to put somebody head of somebody they lost too. Popularity right now probably Manny. Memories Floyd right now.

Well, if Pacquiao family members were running around poking sheit up catching charges, maybe he'll have more threads too

None of the 3 threads are about his daughter. Thanks for playing.

This is the most casual of the boxing forums. Most don't give a **** about Mayweather and never mention him while talking about Pac a lot more as he's currently relevant.

The guy sold the most PPVs ever. He will be relevant for a long long time. There is no way around it.

They'll both be talked about like we all remember the Fab 4. That's my take.

Idk..... But it's funny that Pac-fans would be part of the reason if Floyd is remembered more.

Pacquiao. For one thing, someone will surpass 50-0 and probably with a more impressive resume. When fans look back on boxing they will look at highlight videos. Plenty of exciting videos to choose from for Manny, not so many for Floyd. No one is going to look back and remember the guy who chose to do just enough to win by UD.

Of course there will be fringe casuals who think Mayweather, same way there are fringe casuals who think Rocky Marciano was the greatest HW or fighter of all time because he went 49-0. If there are in fact any boxing fans in 100 years (I think the sport will be long banned before then) they'll want to see a real fighter who took on bigger challenges. That would be Pacquiao.

Marciano vs Joe Lewis.

Both get equal shine imo but Louis a bit more due to his history making fights with Schmelling.

Pac will get a a lot more shine than Floyd because he will be known as one of the greatest ever, the most exciting ever with an insane back catalogue of fights and as well will be president of a country of 200 million.
