    Pac's move up from 122 to 130 to take on the three great Mexicans, and then moving up to the higher weights and his domination there and probable fall from glory as well.

    I say a Middleweight win a heavyweight title

    I say a boy who was Golden change the ppv game,win 10 world titles and become a promoter

    i saw a man who would dance in front of you and you still couldnt hit him

    I saw 2 brothers take EVERY title in a division

    i saw a man go from 105 to 150 kicking ass and taking names

    i saw a pretty boy step into the ring and NEVER lose from 130-154

    i saw a man who every time he fought was the real deal


    MOST IMPORTANTLY I SAW A 47 YEAR OLD MAN WIN A LINEAL TITLE

    Floyd was G, Pacquaio ducked Kell Brook, Bradley ducked Khan, everyone ducked Sergio.

    Mayweather was the best during this Era...WHY?

    Because Mayweather influence will be embedded in the next generation, you will see fighters using his Philly Shell and Shoulder Roll, you already see it with Adrien Broner

    Trainers will be showing their younger boxers Mayweather Video because of his Technical Skills

    20 years from now the average fan will be 18 years old have a 78 IQ and live in their parents basement. Their attention span will be 7 seconds and rounds of boxing will be adjusted accordingly. There will be 37 available orgs to win a world title from and 34 weight classes. They will think that Boxing is every day in every way getting better and better - atheletes only improve in every way possible, those OLD guys from 20 years ago could NEVER compete with what we have now. Frazier, Berbick, Spinks, Holmes and Norton all beat ALI. How can a guy have 5 losses and even be any daymn good much less great. Why is he even consdered in modern top 10 list? I mean WTF??

    In other words it will be pretty much like it is now, just that modern heros will also be the objects of ridicule from people who don't know who they were or what they accomplished in their own time and can't be bothered to learn about anything that happened before they were born...

    I'm afraid that is what you have to look forward to. IF boxing even survives as a sport.

    And like all the multiple pierced tatted up 20 something girls who will by then be sagging grannies with systemic infections and overgaged holes and faded distorted images all over their bodies I'm gald I won't live to see it.
