    So legacy is fame? I thought it related to boxing accolades

    Mayweather is a self proclaimed Goat

    Usyk us far greater than Mayweather

    How many divisions did Mayweather gain Undisputed?

    He was Lineal in 4 weights whearas Pacquiao was Lineal in 5

    Look into how they won their belts and Pacquiao had the much tougher opponants

    Usyk doesn't have any case for rating above Mayweather

    Mayweather beat greater fighters and has a much deeper resume and similar longevity despite turning pro much younger

    Nah, it's being bankrupt. That's what he will be remembered for.

    Oh and using illegal IV's. His legacy is also retiring like four or five times to avoid fights, not unifying, a history of domestic violence...

    The IV thing was swept under the rug, its hardly ever talked about, even in hardcore fan circles. No one even cares about his retirements.
    But he will be remembered for his money, and this includes the inevitable bankruptcy. Domestic violence will be the cherry on top.

    He will make the greatest comeback when he gets back in the ring against Terrance Crawford..
    At 160

    end of the day the only reason anyone paid attention to a defensive midget is because of how bad americans became in the heavier weight classes.
    no one cares about floyd anymore

    Floyd might beat a 160 year old Crawford...

    The fight not happening when it was most relevant is bad for both of their legacies.
