    as we see in your post, floyd's resume is weaker.

    he loses here, he shouldn't be even considered as one of the atg.

    Maybe to you but to most fans Pacquiao represents the guy that could beat Mayweather

    If he gets clowned, its gonna be a huge hit to his legacy

    Thats just the truth

    Without this fight both of their legacies are secure. This fight is for the casual and to generate revenue

    a bit of both, he will go down as one of the best of his generation either way but there is no doubt he will be remembered for either

    1. a great defensive fighter, one of the best ever. but lost to pac
    or
    2. a great defensive fighter, one of the best ever. and beat manny pac

    Its so stuip for someone to even think this! Mayweather has done a ton in this sport, and some will never achive what hes done ever again. He can Lose twice to pac and still be in the top 30-50 boxers of all time.

    A win and I say hes top 20

    I think the winner of the fight will have the greater legacy.

    of course it does. a mayweather with a win over paquiao, is a completely different level of resume than the mayweather without that win.

    If Pac loses its a huge hit to his legacy no matter what anybody says! hes till top 30-50 all time but man his last 5 years would not be very good at all!! Beating Mosley after he got a draw with Mora, Clottey expect for Mosley when Mosley lineal champ, a loss to Bradley (which i know he won) a win against Marquez (which we know he lost) a cheater in Margarito, KTFO 6 and wins against Rios and Algeri who arent WW's.

    you add a loss to Mayweather...man Pac's last 5 years would hella suck and the only boxers he ever fought in the last 8 years he lost too.

    They are both atg's win or lose. IMHO, this fight decides who will rank higher on the atg list.

    Floyd would be remembered for losing to the guy he spent years ducking. Thats just the truth.
