    Mosley

    Add Pac to the list and it would enhance his cherrypicking legacy.

    You wait and see.

    If the Pac/Floyd happens and Floyd wins all we'll hear again is Floyd beat up on a little man again. Well what a load of **** that will be, people forget Floyd has come up many weight divisions himself and has often been the smaller guy.

    Hopefully the fight is made, but both fighters should get credit either way. If the fight does happen then I see a Floyd UD.

    Is this a joke? Of course it will. If he doesn't fight Pacquiao he will clearly prove himself a coward, because the money excuse won't fly. Right now the two biggest money fights for Floyd are the two biggest threats beat him. Pac and Mosley. He has to fight one. I just hope he's not waiting for Mosley to fight Berto to see if Mosley looks past it.

    MAnny will fight anyone, clearly. Floyd is the one that has to step up. 50/50 Floyd, you know you wanna get hit a couple hundred times in the face, step up and be a man.

    No, he Needs Amir Khan, he has only been knocked out once, Pac has been knocked out twice.

    So far Mayweather's legacy over the last few years has been "fight the least threatening opponent and duck all actual challenges", so NO it won't effect his legacy, at least it won't negatively impact his legacy.

    It depends on how it happened, if mayweather clearly ducks him then yes, if it is pac or arum fault i don't think it would affect his legacy.

    However mayweather needs this fight for his legacy, pacquiao is the true all time great in his prime floyd needs to add to his resume. No other fight will come close to this for him in terms of money and legacy.

    You are right. If floyd does not get credit for beating pac it is just pure hate. Pac showed he is a full fledged ww and probally one of the hardest puncher's at the weight.

    Totally agree. First Mosley, then PacMan.
