All a fighter can do is beat the best out there, then retire. A reputation or legacy only comes after many years of retirement when a fighter's whole career can be objectively viewed as a completed item.

Nobody can write history and influence on what future generations will think, and it is pretty arrogant to think so.

A fighter cements his legacy by beating the best out there. So far, Floyd has NOT done that, and if you think Floyd doesn't care about about his legacy, you are sadly mistaken. That, and money, are all he cares about. Fighters care about their legacy all the time - look at Hopkins, Jones, and to some degree, Toney. Why else would Hopkins consider fighting Maskaev? Yes, it is arrogant, but guess what, I'm not sure there is a more arrogant person on the planet than PBF.

If he retires now, the will be to many questions.

The same way that you give PBF no credit for beating the linear champion I believe that you would do the same if he beat anyone of the people that you think he needs to beat. There was someone who made a very good post yesterday and listed all the fighters in contention to fight PBF and made the excuses of the fans if he were to beat them. The truth is it's a lose lose situation with people like you, if he would have ducked Baldo and fought Margarito and beat him you would have switched your opinion around, truth be told he could never do anything to satisfy someone such as yourself.
