    Hernandez
    Corrales
    Castillo
    Gatti
    Mosley

    All are probable HOFs, aside from Hernandez who is already there.

    Not signing will probably have a bigger negative impact on casual fans than on hardcore fans, who know better.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...Are you saying 3K Battery is not a highly probable HOFer? He doesn't have a superstar name for nothing, you know. And I'm sorry but Singsurat is a world champion who knocked out a prime Pacquiao. Singsurat=HOF.

    If he fights him, it does very little for his legacy unless he wins. If he wins, he jumps from Top 50 to Top 20.

    His legacy will be hurt no more than Pacquiao's for turning down the fight in January.

    Honestly if Mayweather fought, Pac, Cotto, Williams and Martinez back to back he would still have people not giving him due respect.

    People going to call him a ducker no matter what he does. He critics will just shout even louder!

    That there will always be detractors of any top fighter-or athlete in general- does not make an excuse for not bothering to try. Although he's not obligated to anyway.

    Sometimes I can't tell if other people know when I'm being sarcastic.

    Massively. If he dodges this fight he is an absolute wanker in my eyes, and I've always been a massive fan.

    Exactly, why would Floyd's legacy be hurt more so than Manny's. It takes two to tango and it was clearly Manny's fault the fight hasn't already happened. And If the fight never happens that doesn't make Manny a better fighter than Floyd. Floyd is by fart the best fighter of this generation, just ask Oscar!

    If the fight doesn't happen this year, with a view to it happening next year, then Mayweather's legacy is untarnished.

    If the fight never happens, at all, then there will be a debate raging between *******s and *****s alike about what this means for both Fighter' legacies - without resolution - for years to come.
