    If you were a boxer at the top of his game?

    Which one would u choose?

    Legacy.......fight the best with a chance of getting brutally ktfo because ur jaw is tissue paper? Be a gladiator and face the best for once!

    Money........fight slow plodders, has been's without challenge, making easy money along the way...leaving no legacy to speak of.

    Discuss....:deal

    I will answer that question with one of my own:
    Do you go to work everyday for legacy or for the paycheck?

    Why not have both like Floyd Mayweather is doing?

    if I'm a fighter? Money. No question about it.

    But, there's probably a happy medium that can be attained if you're good enough. I'd say just about any ATG has both paycheck fights and legacy fights -- and to the idiot 'tards on both sides, that goes for both Pac and May.

    Some have more of one than the other, but I don't think any fighter is all about legacy.

    money is obviously far more important. any1 on esb forums that pick legacy lose ALL credibility and canNOT be taken seriously at ALL..

    sh!t every person that ever turns pro does it for the $$$.
    the only people in the world that could get away with saying legacy are people born into royal families and people coming from billions. NO ONE ELSE can say legacy and actually mean it. this is like asking,

    if you could have 1 and only 1.
    gold medal and be poor for the remainder of your life
    or
    no medal and be wealthy for the remainder if your life

    Legacy and money almost always equal the same thing.

    The real choice is:

    Money & Legacy

    OR

    Just Money

    Most keyboard warriors and fans will say legacy. Most actual boxers will say money
