Every Great fighter has his detracters,..The Great Ray Leonard,..The Great Ray Robinson,..The Great Rocky Marciano,..and indeed The Great Ali,...Floyd could have fought and beat Pac already,..and he would still have his critics....Currently Floyd is getting paid by the Warehouse,..and on his way to retireing undefeated,...and already his name is in the conversation of the Greatest Fighter`s ever...So...if you are saying Floyd will alway`s have his detractors,..I would agree....However his legacy will be very strong,...Esp if finishes undefeated...
Floyd will always have his detractors is exactly what I am saying. And probably worse than any other fighter ever. I've actually stated on here before that Floyd will go down has great but still be one of the most under rated fighters ever.
For example, people (non hardcore boxing fans or casual fans) dont look back at Ali's career and think "Well Liston threw the fight" or "He refused to fight Foreman a second time". The just look at him at think GOAT.
Has of right now, already, casual/non hard core fans look at Floyd and think "Hes ducking Pac" or "Look what hes done to the sport by not fighting Pac" and so much more. They dont look at his other fights and see he fought everyone else he could and see his ridiculous ability not to get hit. Floyds defensive style adds to the problem imo because most people dont see the true beauty of what he does.
I hope it gets better with time. But honestly has critical as everyone is on Floyd I dont see it happening.
Wont make A difference,...like I said every great fighter has his detracters...We cant sit here and say what the general non hard core fight fans think of Mayweather`s legacy...That would be pure speculation...Many thought he would not fight Corales,...and we all know what happenned there,many thought just recently, that he would not fight the much Bigger,and Younger Alvarez,Larry Merchant included...and we all know what happenned there...Complete shut out....No fighter will satisfy every fan,especially the casual fan...If you are saying Mayweather will alway`s have some casual fans that will say "Well,he never fought Pac"..Then,sure...Pac will have the same,with A handful of loses to go along with,One by stone cold KO.....and A cloud of PED speculation to go along with it...If Mayweather retired today,..His name would still be mentioned with the Greatest of all times,...he would still be first ballot Hal of Fame,still be recognizd,and respected by his peers,and Filthy Rich to boot...Hall of Fame carears,are not decided on One fight,just not how i works...
When is the last time we had two blockbuster fighters fight? I mean fights that define an era. Tyson vs Holyfield, Leonard vs Hearns, Ali vs Frazier.
Roy Jones didnt even have a fight like this but to his credit he had no one that was even mentioned as a threat to his greatness.
We havnt had a fight like this since the heavywieghts of the 90's is what that means. Who knows when we will see this again.
imo they will be able to ad to there resume as far as legacy by still fighting but this fight is almost ruined imho, for me anyway. Watch Pac since he quit getting consistant KO's. Even Floyd is looking slower. I still want to see it bad tho and my opinion is besides the point anyway.
Hopefully, other fights from both fighters will gain popularity and will be whats remembered from this era.
With marquez not bothering to fight pac again bob arum must be fuming.
What exactly does michael koncz do?
Michael Koncz is a real shady character who was able to weasle his way into pac's life with the help of arum. He doesnt know anything about boxing but he's very smart, making connections with the right people, I give him that.
Back when GBP and TR were fighting over Pacquaio, Michael Koncz promised to deliver pac to tr so arum put him in charge and sent him to the Philipines.. there he slept on the floor of pacs house, kiss ass, and basically suck his dick and earned his trust.. he's pretty much a hanger on but a very smart one who knows how to work people..
In the end, Pac doesn't deserve the Mayweather fight right now. He's 1-2 in his last 3 fights, with his one win coming against a hand picked patsy who wasn't even a true WW and had no chance.
I'd rather see Pac in there with a Tim Bradley or Keith Thurman. If he can beat a real live opponent like either of those guys, yeah then make the Mayweather fight.
