1. Pac would have to approach the top 20 territory Morales (2x), Barrera, JMM, Hatton, Cotto, DLH, Money/mosley winner... 2. Mosley would elevate himself into the 40-50 range... DLH (2x), Mayweather, Pacquaio 3. Mayweather would be verging on Top 15 territory 4. Roy's legacy is ALREADY good.....Him and Bernard have done FAR TOO MUCH in their careers to have 1 FIGHT determine their legac(ies):deal
That is true.... But I honestly don't believe Roy Jones was knowingly injecting steroids into his blood, i guess it is a matter of opinion. He passed all the other tests and still looked superhuman, I don't think whatever it was had much effect on his natural abilities.
History will tell, in a 5 years after retirement the perspective of view changes a lot. Usually the ATG spot increases with the time distance.
I agree.... After people start to miss fighters' presence in the sport for a while they tend to further realize how unique and great they were.
Why would a win over Pac mean more and be more legitimate for Mosley than Floyd? And same with a win over Shane for Pac? atsch
1- Pacquiao would have to be considered a top 5 p4p ATG. Track record in multiple weight classes and ending his career in this fashion would make him a sure fire top 5er. 2- Mosley would be a top 20 WW ATG(already a top 15 lw). Top 20 p4p also. Getting dominated by Forrest and Winky keep him out of the top 10 p4p. 3- Mayweather would be a top 10 p4p ATG. 4- No effect on his status whatsoever. He should have retired in '03...still top 5 ATG at 160/168 though.
.... because both Molsey and PAC are underdogs comparing to FLoyd. Mosley is past prime/old/broken/without proper suit so his win over SMALLER PAC looks better than respective win by Floyd whose suit is tailor made. Also PAC beat Cotto who beat Mosley, so if Mosley beat PAC its like telegraphic revenge over Cotto. PAc otherwise is a smaller guy so his win over Mosley counts more than Floyd's (naturally bigger guy) win over the same Mosley, also PAc is assumed to KO Molsey after Mosley beats Floyd (see point 1) which is HUGE while Floyd is counted to any win over Mosley in the first place (see point 3) which is AVERAGE ... In both cases Floyd gets less props with his wins.
