Three realstic fights that would seriously enchance Floyd Mayweather legacy

Read the thread. We aren't talking about who would beat him we are talking about what would enhance his legacy.

Brook and Khan in the UK, provided he fights Manny first would unify all 4 titles at 147 and be the 1st man to do so and would be Mayweather's only fight outside the US (in front of 80,000 people no less).

 

Let me explain this to you slowly because I know you are a bit slow.

If Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao and unified 3 titles there would be 1 other title left in the division...

If Mayweather then beat the IBF champion he would unify all 4 belts.

Do you know how many people at 147 have accomplished that in the era of a multiple world champions? 5? Nope. 4? Lower? 2. Lower still....the answer is zero.

In fact in the era of 4 world titles hardly anyone has done it in any division. Hopkins did it at Middleweight. Did he only beat bona fide ATG's to win those belts? No. Did being an undisputed champion in the division enhance his legacy? Yes

Why is this idiot around to post when he can't read?

 

Not realistic.

Cuenca too big of a puncher and an even more dangerous fight that GGG. :deal

 

And yes, it did help enhance Mayweather's legacy.

He took Canelo's 0 first of all- a fighter who is far from done yet and may pave a Hall of Fame career himself, became a lineal champion at 154 and at the same time as holding belts at 147 (which he continued to defend).

 

As I expected this conversation is a few levels above your pay scale.

Mayweather would set a record that nobody else has previously done by unifying all 4 titles at 147, as Hopkins did at middleweight and is an accomplishment that is purred over by many boxing historians to this day. You think in years to come any book will be written on Hopkins without appauling his unification of the middleweight division? You think wrong.

And I didn't say Khan was a relevant opponent, but if he beats Brook, then he is, as he is a belt holder at 147. You're probably going to say Thurman, who resume is far inferior to Khan's with Brook attached is a more relevant opponent. If one was to rate Mayweather's accomplishments you could knock that the fight he never fought outside his comfort zone. Coming to the UK to fighting a winner of a fight between Brook/Khan would tick that box, at the same time equaling Marciano's 49-0 record.

But you know, I suppose I'm talking to someone's who's pugilistically more illiterate than me....

oh wait...I'm not.

 

Believe me. If Pacquiao fought Floyd I would want Pacquiao to win, not because I particularly like or dislike either fighter but I'd like to see the *****'s have a melt down, but I'm not just going to make up Mayweather is a giant Welterweight to fit an agenda.

He is not a big welterweight and nor is Pacquiao. Neither of them differ much in weight from where they are on fight night.
