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

Well, I'm.pretty sure mayweather vs McGregor was an even bigger deal than mayweather vs Pac....that speaks volumes, in and of itself

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

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.
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.
