      Chinese and Japanese were paying Floyd to hangout in their country. Right in manny’s native Asia

        Pacquiao has too many world records. PAC also will be the President of the Philippines while Floyd will be in and out of Jail! Either paying for his kid trouble or his own.

          Both their legacies will be interwoven to a certain extent 'If you know about Floyd Mayweather, you will be aware of Manny Pacquiao'.

          Note: I have not voted.

            Just thought it was funny because Jack Johnson fought over a 100 years ago and we still talk about him, yet there are a lot of boxers that fought Jack that we rarely bring up.

            In 100 years, who do you think people will talk about more when the subject of boxing comes up?



            Floyd, he is American. You guys usually dominate the telling of history and entertainment.

              Depends what impresses you more.

              It’s like asking who’s talked about more SRL or Duran

                Anyone who answers that question in a matter of factly manner has exposed themselves as being full of sh/t.

                You can have an opinion of who is it going to be. But we don’t know.

                I can tell you without reading the posts: Floyd fans will say it’s Floyd. Pac fans/Floyd haters will say it’s Pacquiao. Am I right?

                We will literally never know who is talked about more 100 years from now. History shows that when two ATG’s fight, they are talked about hand in hand. Otherwise, athletes who changed the game are always remembered. Ali is remembered not only for what he did inside the ring, but also outside the ring in the civil rights movement and going to prison for refusing to go to war. Mayweather’s best out of the ring accomplishment is probably implementing stronger drug tests in boxing. Pacquiao’s best accomplishment outside the ring is probably becoming senator.

                  Mayweather retired long ago and has double the amount of threads on page 1.

                  You tell me who talked about more.

                    Currently 3 threads about Floyd on the first page. None about Pac.

                    Let that sink in.

                      Jack Johnson was famous for breaking the colour line. He wasn't that great a boxer, he was prone to losing to people who had no right to be beating him.
