What IF Pacquiao beat Mayweather? Does this hurt his legacy?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Are you kidding me?!?!! That would be the perfect time for Floyd to switch up the persona to a somewhat likeable, newly-focused on destruction type of person and milk the rematch for all it's worth.

after the beating he gets? noone would want to watch it

[Kobe B Bryant]

Not necessarily, but I do think losing your 'O' in your biggest test does.

depends on how you lose and who you lose to too but it still takes away a little.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Absolutely.

He gets beat up by Pac his legacy takes a hit.

Same for Pac. A loss to Floyd in his prime hurts his legacy too.

A beating would hurt the legacy some, I agree. Same goes to Pacquiao if he doesn't impose his will and is utterly outboxed the entire night without any shining moment. If either loses in a war then it's viable to rematch.

it doesn't hurt it badly. i wouldn't rank him lower, but it would be a lost chance to be ranked much higher.
