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

[F l i c k e r]

Floyd is going to wind up with a mystic aura. Like Rocky Marciano but for his incredible defense, rather than knocking people out cold.

Pacquiao will be remembered by hardcore fans and pinoys.

[QueensburyRules]

Anyone who says Pacquiao isn’t being honest.

- -U just now says his name, so U dishonest is it?

Who U cheat?

[Roadblock]

I think you're the only one not being honest



Pac will be remembered more, and barrera and morales and jmm and bradley will be linked to Pac more than Floyd with Pac s rematches and triologies.

Duran can never get back his loss to laing, but I'm s ure duran will be remembered more. I'm also sure Mike tyson.will be remembered more than douglas.
As really what I'm saying is Floyd s win over pac has got nothing to do with who will be remembered more. Pac much.more entertaining and did more so will be remembered more.
There's too many American slicksters . Not many Filipino superstars so that in itself Pac will stand out. Also with a name like pac man.
In 100 years when they talk about Filipino 8 division superstar people won't have to think hard who they're talking about.

I think my Tonka truck is bigger than yours lol.

That sums up you.

I don’t know man. For the longest people tried to compare Pacquiao with Floyd but when they fought it was a blowout. Maidana actually was a much tougher fight for Floyd than Pacquiao was and I’m not one of these new fans who thinks their “legacies” are close. They’re not, at all.

One guy retired 5 years earlier and still holds the record for most world champions beaten and retired 50-0. The other one you could easily argue should have 10 losses. He’s a legend in the sport despite that but I don’t think he compares to Floyd in terms of career or skills. And there’s at least 4-5 guys who gave Floyd much harder fights than Manny did.

- -Soft lad like U shouldn't be talking hardness.

Hell Manny is active now in 2020 has a title and Floyd is still talked about more.....So thats your answer

[hugh grant]

They will always be linked at the navel, talk about one cannot happen without mention of the other.

Upstairs for thinking boys.

Nah when.People talk about pac people will think about morales and barrera, and jmm and triologies and rematches.

Floyd not a member of the club

I was watching Troy last night and Achilles told Hector that they'll be talking about this war for a thousand years. Hector then told him in a thousand years, the dust from their bones would be long gone.

Achilles then told him yes, but our names will remain.

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?

Probably the American.

[Stuntman Mike]

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.

Yeah turn it into a race thread,nobody cares about the *** movement ,the sooner thats swept under the carpet the better
This is a boxing forum not a racial equality political debate

[*TonyMontana*]

Cant talk about one without the other

But think of it like this

Floyd's retired and is still headline news whatever he does

Manny only gets mentioned when fighting really now

[GrandpaBernard]

Neither will be talked about in 100 years

The people alive then won’t be familiar with either. The new gen wasn’t around to experience them
