What fights would have helped Floyd's legacy?

any fight he didnt fight would help him according to these losers

margo would have been a joke and floyd actually agreed to it...but bob arum wouldnt guarantee him a total of 4 more mil....2 mil each for fights against cotto and hatton....so floyd walked away....bob even confirmed it

 

:rofl

Yeah a fight with a disgraced cheat who had almost a dozen loses helps his legacy.

 

I'll preface this by saying I think Floyds legacy is perfectly fine and that its not necessarily his fault they didn't happen, but off the top of my head these would have improved it.

Prime versions of DLH, Shane and Pac.
WW Cotto.
Margarito
Williams
Could have moved up sooner and fought Tszyu at 140
Sergio at 154

 

Probably beating Martinez at 160. Other than that, I don't think any other fights that would have had any impact on his legacy.

 

Come on now, I dislike Margo and suspect he cheated like most folks but if Floyd had taken the fight at the time it was mooted he would have got some credit for it. More so if people later suspected Tony of having loaded gloves at the time.

Especially since he instead spent that time being "retired" instead, I'm not trying to sh!t on Floyd for not taking it, but it could only have possibly enhanced his resume.

 

Prime Sugar Shane, Oscar, Tszyu and Pac. I think other than DLH, Floyd tried to make those other fights earlier. Tszyu was probably more timing, as he was getting on a bit - and Floyd wasn't worth the risk for Tszyu, same could be said of an earlier Oscar fight.

 

It wouldn't have enchanced anything the only reason why he's talked about is because PBF didn't fight him. If he did fight him he would be just another slow come forward guy that PBF loves to fight and he would get no credit for it.:deal We've seen this story play out time and time again.

 

I think Margo would have destroyed his legacy. If the fight happened he may have avoided a MOSLEY fight which would have been a lot more damaging to his career.

 

I dunno man, true the irrational haters would take a dump on any fight FMJ made but I'd have been interested to see him against a taller, longer, come forward fighter with insane stamina and chin. You know floyd isn't going to hurt or slow him so he'd have to box for the full 12 rounds.

I fully expect Floyd would have done it, but I think it would have an intriguing one to have watched. He'd have got some credit from me if he'd taken it.

I would particularly liked to see him against Williams at the time, that would have been an interesting fight

 

Defiantly fighting Maragrito ,or taking the Winky Wright fight when it was offered to him ..Also the Martinez fight would have helped as well and with out a doubt facing Manny in 09-10

 

As in opposed to Berto, and at Welterweight?

The answer is The Special One:Kell Brook at Wembley.

-Had he paid his sanctioning fees the winner would unify all 4 Welterweight belts which nobody has yet done in the Era of 4.

-All the great champions have traveled. Mayweather never has been outside his comfort zone. And Wembley would have been by far the largest audience Mayweather competed in front of.

- Somebodies 0 would have to go

- A win for Mayweather would see him equal Marcianos record

Anyway it's a mute point because Brook would have stopped him brutally

 

Floyd is supposed to be this great Welterweight. Yet he faced zero quality WW's that were even close to their peak.

And faced one career Welterweight his entire career.

 

Who said he was a "great" welterweight? He clearly is fighting above his best weight.

 

He became a full fledged ww when he picked up the ww titles
