Even if Floyd beat Pac, would he leapfrog Pac in ATG status?

why's that. The man said himself that he compares this to Nadal vs Federer. Even though Nadal's record vs Federer tells a story, it's not the complete story. Federer is still greater than Nadal in ATG status.

A fighter's greatness is judged on his entire career, not a single fight. He may think Maywaether's career is greater than Pac's already, but he's the odd man out in that regards.

 

Same here, actually.

 

So do you guys rank Tarver higher than Jones in the ATG status because he knocked Jones out in their fight? Didn't think so. That will just prove that Floyd is better than Pac H2H but legacy wise, Pac is still way ahead of him.

 

lol I didn't even read what you said, but I already know you said no

 

Well yeah cuz I ain't a moron like you *****s :nut

 

o ya that's it. I guess most people on esb are *****s

 

The ONE poll that favors the *****s and you make it sound like the end all, be all of all polls They are entitled to their opinion, but mine is that no one fight for Floyd will make his legacy better than Pac's. This poll is a moot point anyway since Mayweather ain't never fighting Pac. :hey

 

well I said I can assume what you're going to predict and then you said yea because you're not a *****.So then I assume what you're saying is only *****s agree yes on this topic. Did I assume wrong. If I am, then what you said makes no sense. The reason you voted no is because you're not a ***** right? So only *******s and neutral peopl voted no:huh

 

Outside clay, Nadal doesnt hold a candle to Federer, prime for prime Federer is greater.

 

depends on how the fight unfolds. if its a tight split decision for floyd, no. the difference in weight would level the win out. if its a one sided clinic, yes. even with a slight size difference, only someone much better should be able to beat pac convincingly at 147.

 

floyd beating pacquiao just means he is head-to-head better but not necessarily means he is greater. he does not automatically get what pac has accomplished. besides beating pacquiao is what he should be expected to do since he has the styles and size advantage.

if floyd beats pac via SD, it enhances more pac's legacy since he made it close with someone who has a bad styles match-up for him who is also naturally bigger than him.

 

Jones wasnt in his prime.....Pac is
Tarver wasnt runner up fighter of the decade when roy won was he?
stop tryng to ignore the fact that pac and floyd legacy are close

 

was agreeing with everything he said after the nadal/federer comparison..i dont actually agree with that


but floyds wins against shane, oscar, and hatton are more impressive to me given the circumstances...and that floyd took belts from the men at 147 and 154...not paper trinkets that were set up for him to win.....

if floyd beats manny and retires unbeaten....and you rank pac ahead in atg status...you are a ****** and loser

 

Floyd isnt naturally. He simply turn pro at a later age. If you follow them in terms of age they have been within a few pounds age the same age for most of thier careers.

 

It depends how close you have them ranked.
