    So an 140 pound Ruslan can have him out on his feet. No check that....An 140 pound Kendall Holt can drop him twice but Shane, DLH, Cotto and Canelo cant end his night?

    No, I don't believe they would. Bradley is a good fighter, is very tough and has never been KO'd that I know of. Maybe prime versions of some of those guys could KO him but not the versions that Floyd fought.

    Avoiding Khan will mean nothing at all in the big scheme of things.

    Avoiding Pac will be something that's always held against him.

    That wasn't the best version of Margarito and Margarito is worse than Bradley defensively at the best of times. Mosley didn't do much after he fought Floyd to suggest he was still prime.

    It's got fukc all to do with *****s.

    I'm a fan of Khan, but his name doesn't belong within the context of your opening post. He's beaten nobody of the stature of Floyd or Manny's opponents.

    And he's had a few damaging losses. Nice guy. A bit above a journeyman but not a superstar.

    Regarding Manny, Floyd has consistently ducked the Filipino since he destroyed Cotto (after destroying Hatton and Oscar). He has zero interest in fighting him and he's made an absolute fool of himself in the creativity of his excuses.

    Unfounded PED slanders till the courts made him (and his clan) both pay up and shut up.

    Vacations.

    Head size increases.

    Weight jumping. (Pac and Manny fought at essentially the same weights if you match their ages, one in the amateurs, the other in the pros).

    His health, etc.

    Everybody in the boxing world knows who DOESN'T want this fight.



    So to answer your question, if he retires without facing Manny, he will still rank as an undefeated ATG, but the thing he will be most remembered for is that particular duck.

    And even if he fights him at this stage, he will still be remembered for avoiding the beast of 2010, 2011 when both fighters were at peak.

    Sick of these threads.


    Honestly, any reasonable boxing fan, along with 90%+ of the general public knows that Mayweather has ducked Pacquiao. Let the Mayweather nut swallowers say how Pac ducked a drug test (which he has agreed to everything since) and how every single one of Mayweather's excuses can be justified.

    Mayweather fans make boxing fans who like Mayweather, look like idiots. Just accept the fact that he wants no part of Pacquiao. It's a fight I think Floyd could win but he wont because it wont happen.

    So yes, his legacy is tarnished. He was called out by Muhammad Ali for Christ's sake.

    And khan? You're a joke. Nobody will use khan as a yardstick for anyone's career.

    Not fighting Pac is a black mark on his career but Khan? Get a hold of yourself. By the neck.
