    Mayweather is going to be remembered forever. Either way.

    At the moment, many people still don't like him. But as time goes on, his legacy is going to turn into a legend of being untouchable.

    Pacquiao will be remembered forever as well. One of the greatest warriors ever but that little bit of Mayweather beating him will be there and when people think "he wasn't in his prime". They will then see Mayweather was even older than him, making it an even greater feat.
    As time goes on it will be Pacquiao whose legacy grows. Duran was KO’d by Hearns and beaten by Benitez, yet he is still ranked way higher on the P4P all time great lists. Often times he is ranked higher than Leonard too.

    Floyd will be remembered like Marciano; a guy who never fought an elite level opponent at their best and retired undefeated.

        Still don’t get the cherrypicking bit. Apart from Conor who are the cherrypicked fights? I say Pacman cherrypicked more than Mayweather. And am not talking about PBC’s Pacman.

          Most credible list have Manny over Floyd and rightly so.

          Just because you beat someone(in a weak fashion at that)don’t always make you greater just ask Jake Lamotta, Shane Mosley, Frankie Randall etc.
          Post the credible lists where manny is ranked ahead of Floyd.

          There are at least 2 from poster chrismart, that support my claim. He also finished ahead of him in the espn poll.

          Floyd was ranked ahead of him before beating him. The win only solidified that opinion.

          The point you make is valid, but in no way, shape or form applies to Floyd and Manny.

          Frankly, you should be banned for Even suggesting Floyd v Manny is similar to Randall v Chavez.

          The better example is Sweet Pea v Chavez where Pernell Dominated and humbled Chavez and his fans the way Floyd did to Manny and his fans.

            - -What grade U in Billyboy?

            Manny holds every Ring p4p record with no fighter close or ever to even be in the running until Gabriels Horn closes the show.

            Preschool?

                PacMan fought more catchweights..... More fighters coming off losses.... More fighters that had no business being in the ring with him.

                Its like yall ask for Manny to be criticised.... Quit pointing fingers! This is getting hella old
