Thread: Whose "Legend" suffers most if no fight happens? PBF/Pac?

PBF. Because he's the whining sissy BIOTCH.

I think the gap between what his talent might have allowed and what he has actually accomplished is a lot wider for Floyd at this point.

floyd is someone who people will look back on and say "guess we'll never know how good he really was", kinda like the way they say that about Marciano. I wish Marciano had fought atleast 2 more times, maybe Patterson and maybe some other top contender.
In the same way, floyd will suffer when people ask "why didnt he fight pac?" or a few other top contenders. he just isnt that motivated to fight. he doesnt love fighting the way some fighters love it. His nickname says it all "money". its all he cares about. AND HISTORY WILL REMEMBER THAT.

yep - Pac has little more (if anything) to prove now regarding his greatness. Floyd still does and to my mind is just protecting his 0 (though there are the legal issues he has for sure)


We never saw Floyd really tested - and when there was a chance of a proper test he duked it. Thats how I will remember him if it doesn't happen.


by the way - don't be thinking I have it in for PBF, at the start of all this I 90% blamed Manny for this not happening.

Floyd would be considered "exposed" if he lost to Pacquaio, as he really suffers from a lack of quality wins.

The man's best victories are over Diego Corrales, Castillo, Hatton, Oscar, Judah, and an aging Mosley.

Pacqauios best wins are over Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, and an aging Mosley.

With all their common foes, Pacquaio's victories have been FAR more impressive and emphatic, however Floyd beat them FIRST.

If Pacquaio were to lose to Floyd, presumably by being outpointed, we would forgive it because hell look how many tough great fighters Pacqauio already beat the living hell out of.

it's not a matter of more, they both suffer.

Pac took risks. Floyd didn't.

Pac has been fighting at 147 while weighing only 148 pounds when he gets in the ring on fightnight. Every guy he faces outweighs him significantly. And they haven't been chumps: Clottey, Cotto, Margarito, ODH, and Mosley, are some of the best fighters at the weight in the past decade (even if some were clearly past their prime).

And Pac faced better competition below 147.

Floyd meanwhile takes no risks. He never faced Cotto, PW, Margarito, Cintron, Margarito, or clottey. He probably beats them all, but that would have involved fighting (which he seems allergic to).

I'd favor him over Pac, but he doesn't seem to want the fight. Floyd is a great waste of talent.
