We have heard the long laundry list of Pac excuses.. Now there are Pac fans saying they do not want the fight,and the ones that do are nervous nelly's.. I would suggest Pac stay away from Floyd and then blame Floyd "this is what some are already doing" let him fight Juan and lose but if Pac wants to preserve his legacy stay away from Floyd!! Props to the people still rooting for their guy,the other half has thrown in the towel or are in hiding..
I want the Floyd fight as Pac's next. Neither fighter is getting younger and Pac's style of fighting does not age well.
those w's are much more important than people think. oscar fought against the best and lost virutally every important fight. his legacy isnt what it could have been.
If Floyd wins, he goes down as this generation's best, but not necessarily this generation's most accomplished fighter.
he has wins over most of the big names in this generation, except floyd. if he lost against floyd, that won't diminish his legacy, as he fought the best fighters of his era. win or lose.
he lost to floyd, pacquiao, trinidad, mosley and hopkins. those are the biggest names on his record. if pacquiao loses to mayweather his legacy will be greatly affected. floyd's resume is pretty damn good and if he beats pacquiao he'll be in a league of his own. far above pacquiao imo. he avoided catch weights and lately he's been beating fighters coming off very impressive victories. the same cant be said of pacquiao.
Pac should retire while his legacy is still mostly intact. He should go back to the Phillipine congress, and "do what my manager tell me to do." I'm sure he'll make a very nice puppet out of the ring as well as inside it.
Yes it would diminish his legacy, for starters people will wonder how the hell he was voted fighter of the decade in front of floyd.
