Whoever wins this fight essentially seals himself as the fighter of their generation. If this fight never happens it's clearly Mayweather as the greatest of his era. Even if he loses I'd still have Mayweather as having had the better career but this is how the public perception will be and in fairness to Pac if he beats Mayweather he deserves all of the credit he gets, but the reverse is true for me as well.

damn that is pretty fukked up but I get it!
yeah dude put way too much emphasis on his record and like @Newzz said..Floyd would have been better off losing to someone else instead before this...and if he wins he is the best fighter of this generation period
if pac wins he bumps off floyd as 1 p4p and makes a strong case as the best fighter of this generation..considering he does have more notable names on his record (some HOF bound) than floyd does

floyd legacy depends on this fight like PAT just said, floyd doesnt have as good a resume as PAC :yeshrug:


If floyd win he is arguably top 5 ever, but if he loses he drops down to top 15 as far as im concerned. :ohhh:


Nikka best win is probably Diego Coralles (RIP:mjcry:)

If Floyd loses this fight...this fight alone...the loss will be his legacy

you know whats crazy when you look at it.

lebron and kobe can go 0-30, 10 turnovers in 1 GAME and still be considered goats.

tom brady can throw 5 interceptions, and lose by 50 and in 1 GAME and still be considered one of the GOATS.

only in boxing, on one fukking night, just "one night", 1 lost can change a fighters whole legacy.

win or lose floyd will be one of the goats imo but has to win this fight, no exceptions!

Horrible comparison considering that someone like Tom Brady will play around 200 games and someone like Kobe or LeBron will play 1000 or more games and they participate in team sports. With that said, yes, the weight one fight can have on a boxers legacy is a little unfair, but as time passes, things tend to get put in their proper perspective. Mohammed Ali lost 5 fights and is still considered the greatest by many. Mike Tyson is still celebrated as one of the best to ever do it, despite the end of his career. Also, a win can change your whole legacy for the better. If Pac E Owl wins this fight, then people will probably forget the embarrassing knockout he suffered to Marquez.

No, I'm sorry, but whoever wins this fight has the better legacy.

I say that as a Floyd fan.

Even if you can make an argument that he was still the better fighter...it really doesn't even matter. History is giving the nod to whoever wins this.

IMO no matter who loses it shouldn't negate what either man has accomplished, but if May loses these Cacs will have a field day.
