Who has the greater legacy: Pacquiao or Floyd?

Manny does. big time. This is a case where Floyd can beat Manny, even though it was after Manny was washed up a little and stopped by JMM and lost to Bradley, but Manny fought better guys throughout his career and prime guys. I think Manny wins easily.. easily.

 

Also Floyd was never ktfo three times

 

Pac couldn't even beat jmm easy how in the hell does he even come close to beating pbf? Wishful thinking is why people like you always end up on the losing side of this,argument and went to bed angry on May 2nd 2015. If you can't beat jmm clearly in 4 fights you're not beating pbf period.

 

The four fights with Marquez, the three fights with Morales, the three fights with Bradley, the two fights with Barrera.

Mayweather's legacy doesn't have anything to compare with all that.

 

Regardless of Pac vs Floyd in legacy .. I think it's hilarious that the Floyd fan boys even bring up the the 2015 fight and the "so called" importance of that. .. When people do that, just tells me they haven't been watching boxing that long. That fight was for 2009/10. 2015 didn't mean anything about anything.. And I actually think Floyd's legacy goes up huge if he would have taken on more risk and retired at around 64-2. I know I would have a lot more respect for him. But if you look at Floyd's top 5 list of who is the best of all time, he puts himself at #1 and Ali at #5. That just pretty much sums up Floyd in a nutshell .. and his fan boys eat it up with a fork

 

That's funny especially when considering ESPN the ring and 95% of their peers all rank pbf higher.

 

PBF will be known for ducking prime fighters, ducking Pac, and his admitted PED use. History won't look back fondly on this dude at all.

 

Floyd by a good distance.

 

And pac will be remembered as a guy who ducked pbf in their prime because of testing having the most brutal ko loss of this era being #48 for pbf being dumber than a bag of rocks and losing to a no hoper in horn.

 

Sorry, Floyd still ranks lower legacy wise and on the ATG list. And of course, Floyd's PED use and ducking might drop him even lower over time.

 

For me pound for pound and prime for prume Pacquiao is just the superior fighter. Like RJJ amd Hopkins i know a lot of ppl say Hopkins has a better legacy but for my money RJJ ranks higher!

 

Plus annihilation of cotto, Hatton, Oscar and Margarito. Makes clottey and Mosley quit.

 

Ali, LL, Foreman were knocked out but Wilder may remain undefeated till he retires.

 

Not only does Pacman have the better resume than FMJ, but he managed to do what FMJ did up to 147lbs whilst being physically smaller than FMJ which makes his achievements in the higher weights more amazing.
50 years from now people will still talk about FMJ's perfect record, they will also be aware that he avoided Pacman till he was well past his prime. FMJ's legacy is that he ducked Pacman till he was past prime.

 

he fought everyone. You know when I thought this guy is one of the best ever. He took on Margarito and Cotto and Hatton and anyone who was there when they were at their best. That is a real champ. And Floyd handpicked,, Everyone has a tough fight and loses. Boxing is not about being undefeated, it is about fighting the best when they are great. Sugar Ray Robinson. Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Oscar, Ali.. great fights. They didn't beat everyone, but we knew who they were in great fights.. Guys who fought great fights. which makes them great. Floyd has no great fights. Manny fought great fights and fought everyone. He is to me a couple of notches over Floyd. It does not matter that Floyd waited 6 years to fight him.
