Would Floyd be most remembered for if he got to 50-0 and still hadn't faced Manny, and retired for good?
not facing Manny for sure. Win or lose, and in his case LOSE.......Vitali Klitschko was more known for facing and fighting more than even vs 37 yo Lewis, than he was/is for having gone out winning his last 12 or so fights and dominating alongside his brother. Wlad, similar to his big bro, will be known for consistently fighting the most dangerous guys in the division, and several #2's, alongside his recent 20+ fight win streak. You can't go 50-0 having NEVER fought the #1 or #2 fighter of your era and not be remembered for the excuses for not making the fight. Hagler had his Leonard. He lost, but fought even in the fight, and made a historically treasured fight that cemented his legacy, even in a loss. :think
Mayweather doesn't and won't give a damn. If he really cared about public pressure and outcries he would have crumbled and forced the fight to happen somehow in 2009-2011.
The ****er, ran away from testing first time. Ran again from 40 million dollars for 6 million, and this is floyds fault? Resigned, with arum instead of been a free agent like ray leonard for instance!! Then, comes back, with fight for charity? And these fools, want this incompetent, ass standing for president off phillipines!!
