If he keeps going and keeps losing then yeah, it does kind of hurt it. I get the argument that he is clearly past his prime by years, as were guys like Roy, Evander, Morales, Toney, etc., but when you see great fighters slow, human, and losing its the last thing you see and remember. I think its especially true for freaks of nature like Roy and Manny. They each had runs where they looked unbeatable possibly by any man near their weight in history. Seeing them struggle along as a shell for years makes it much easier to dismiss them as gifted but matched wisely.

If thats the case then RJJ is a complete bum .. You can't take away someone's greatness. Guys fight on way too long, that's never gonna change.

Nah, I think his legacy's in tact. I mean, he's taking on Matthysse. A loss to him isn't going to tarnish anything, but that's if Pac loses and I can definitely see him winning.

Nah not really. Plenty of great fighters fight well past their prime. When people talk about Pacquiao's career 30 years from now the're not going to care that he lost to Jeff Horn.
