    one of those two has openly stated he doesn't fight for legacy. the rest is easy to figure out.

    Floyd probably, mainly because he's undefeated (assuming he stays that way until he calls it quits). People love to talk about undefeated fighters (Marciano, calzaghe)

    Most likely just Floyd, Manny, and Wlad (Depending on how many consecutive title defenses he makes)

    Floyd Mayweather will be remembered, not even debateable.

    The Jeremy Lin effect is already wearing off for Pacquiao.

    you trolling?

    Is Ray Robinson remembered for losing 19 times and going something like 50% in his last 10 fights?

    Is Muhammad Ali remembered for losing 3 of his last 4?

    Is JCC remembered for retiring on his stool against ODLH and getting stopped by Kostya Tszyu?

    the list goes on and on, and if you genuinely believe any of those are true then you are a mental midget.

    That being said, Pacquaio will be remembered in a more favorable light in 50 years, and thats honestly a shame. Not because Pac dosent deserve it, he absolutely does, but Mayweather had a chance to be mentioned right up there in the top 5-10 if you ask me. You just cant deny his talent. Unfortunately, he chose to take the path of least resistance and that will be remembered.

    I honestly think Mayweather would be have gone on to achieve even greater heights if he had lost a fight or two earlier in his career. He wouldnt have gotten so hung up on keeping his 0 intact and may have been more willing to really test his abilities.

    Pac, and by a big margin over Floyd. Undefeated records are a minor point in boxing history, it's always about who you faced, how you fared, how exciting you were and the context of your fights, and that's coming from a Calzaghe fan. Floyd could have had his Rumble in the Jungle against Pac, an era and career-defining fight, but he found and still finds excuses not to.

    Pac will be remembered as the Lance Armstrong of boxing.

    Wishful thinking. There's no evidence or witnesses that Pac ever took PED's, unless you count the 'testimony' of Sr. Armstrong had the world and his wife lining up to testify against him, including his former colleagues and team-mates. Pac is as clean or dirty as Floyd or any other boxer who hasn't been caught.

    Everyone loves a KO artist, and Pac was a master.

    JMM, as great as he was, never made your heart race in quite the same way. (And I'm not even a Pac fan.)


    The answer is obvious.

    Pacquiao, whenever you look at boxing records his name will be in the textbooks saying he won the most belts in different weight divisions(lineal and nonlineal)
    even though im a bigger Mayweather fan his God given abilities are probably not as good as Roy Jones Jr. were, and as for his undefeated record Joe Calzaghe went 46-0 and if people look longer back Marciano went 49-0
