      In 100 years there will be too many retired unbeaten boxers and you wouldn't be able to name 10 off hand.
      Pac will be remembered more. Great fighters keep coming and coming and Floyd will fall further down as he's replaced by next superstar.
      So if Floyd i s top 20 now. Every 8 years he is pushed down a place or 2. So in 100 years Floyd will be more a footnote.
      Pac being 8 division titilist and oldest champ records and longevity record, Pac will be along the armstrongs and Alis for a long time

        I think their names are going to be brought up together much like Ward and Gatti. Ali and Frazier. But I think they will mention Floyd more just for the reasons that people have already stated on here.

        He was a villain.

        And regardless of how his fight with Pac played out, he will be remembered for beating his rival. So he’ll be remembered as a bad guy, and beating his foe.

          If it was just based on natural talent I would say it should be Floyd.

            Floyd. People talk more about him right now, and he's been retired for 5 years.

              Is 50-0 really that untouchable? Going forward with the advancement in nutrition and supplementation 'Fighters may be having way way longer careers'.

              I don't think neither of Floyd Mayweather's or Manny Pacquiao's careers will transcend time 'Like Muhammad Ali's or Mike Tyson's legacies have etc'

                This isn't a debate, you have to be a super floyd fan to think that floyd will be remembered more than pac..

                  People talk about Floyd for wrong reasons though, more what he didn't do.

                  The higher AT G will be remembered more and that's pac

                    Neither, how often are fighters from even 50 years talked about on here?

                      Jack Johnson, SRR, Marciano and Joe Louis get talked about quite a bit.
